Project info
A memorandum of understanding was signed by states of Maharashtra and Telangana,[3] as part of which, Chanaka-Korata Barrage on Painganga River, Tummidihatti Barrage on Pranhita River and Lakshmi Barrage on Godavari River will be constructed.
Medigadda Barrage foundation was laid by First Chief Minister of Telangana, K.Chandrashekar Rao on 2 May 2016.[citation needed]
The project started by Telangana govt as part of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Schema to irrigate the 1,850,000 acres (750,000 ha) of new land and stabilize the 1,180,000 acres (480,000 ha) of existing irrigated land.[4]

Engineering staff reported that pillar number 19 of 1.6km barrage suffered damage causing a portion of bridge to sag. Apart from pillar 19, pillar 20 and 21 also developed cracks.

river basin's sustainable
productivity & ecology
- Algal bloom in reservoirs
- High alkalinity of river water in the river basin upstream of Pochampadu dam
- Frequent floods in tail end area of the river basin
- Alkali salts / high pH water run off from ash / red mud dumps of coal fired power stations / bauxite ore enrichment
- Excessive silting of reservoirs due to deforestation and mining activities
