It would be located at Veltoor village, Peddamandadi mandal, [[Wanaparthy district|Wanaparthy]] district, [[Telangana]], [[India]]. This barrage is proposed to divert 3 [[Tmcft|TMC]] of water ''via'' lift to ''Yedula Reservoir'' being built as part of [[Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme]]. This would also provide water for [[R. Vidyasagar Rao Dindi Lift Irrigation Scheme|Dindi Lift Irrigation Project]] and [[Mahatma Gandhi Kalwakurthy lift irrigation scheme|Mahatma Gandhi Kalwakurthy Lift Irrigation Scheme]].

== History ==
Pre-2014, the erstwhile state of [[Andhra Pradesh]] was the lower-most riparian state in Krishna basin and [[Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal]] had allocated the state, water to the tune of 800 TMC. The surplus/flood water allocation was expected to the tune of 80+ TMC.

On 2 June 2014,<ref>{{Cite news|last=Desk|first=Internet|date=2016-06-01|title=The story of India's 29th State — Telangana|language=en-IN|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/telangana/The-story-of-Indias-29th-State-%E2%80%94-Telangana/article14384461.ece|access-date=2021-06-24|issn=0971-751X}}</ref> the erstwhile state of Andhra Pradesh, was bifurcated into the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh with [[Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014]] coming into force. The Act also extended the term of existing tribunal (Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal - II) to distribute water between the two basin states. Given bifurcation, Krishna River basin between the states bifurcated too. Telangana became an upper riparian state and Andhra Pradesh a lower riparian state. A temporary arrangement<ref>{{Cite web|title=Krishna River Management Board 2018-19 Report|url=https://krmb.gov.in/uploadedFiles/annualReport/KRMB%20AR%202018%20-19.pdf|access-date=25 June 2021|website=Krishna River Management Board|page=22}}</ref> of water between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in Krishna basin was agreed to, until extended tribunal distributes water. The arrangement shared 811 TMC of water as - 298.96 TMC for Telangana and 512.04 TMC for Andhra Pradesh.

On completion of the [[Polavaram Project]] (Left Main Canal) and [[Pattiseema Lift Irrigation Project]], the ayacut of [[Prakasam Barrage]] would receive Godavari water and would no longer be dependent on [[Nagarjuna Sagar Dam]] and [[Pulichinthala Project]]. As such 80 TMC of water for Prakasam Barrage needed would need to be redistributed between upper riparian states, as such share of Telangana would increase.

In 2020,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Andhra Pradesh confident of getting nod to Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Scheme|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra-pradesh/2020/oct/09/andhra-pradesh-confident-of-getting-nod-to-rayalaseema-lift-irrigation-scheme-2207944.html|access-date=2021-06-24|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref> the Government of Andhra Pradesh has under taken construction works for ''Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Project'',<ref>{{Cite web|author=Samdani MN|date=Feb 26, 2021|title=Rayalaseema lift irrigation project DPR in final stages {{!}} Vijayawada News - Times of India|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/vijayawada/rayalaseema-lift-irrigation-project-dpr-in-final-stages/articleshow/81215422.cms|access-date=2021-06-24|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref> to divert 8 TMC of water per day from [[Srisailam Dam]] via lift by modernising existing canals of ''Telugu Ganga Project'' (inter-basin transfer to Penna basin i.e. [[Somasila Dam]] and [[Kandaleru Dam]]; there after to [[Poondi reservoir]] in [[Tamil Nadu]] provide 15 TMC of drinking water to the city of [[Chennai]]) and ''Srisailam Right Bank Canal'' (inter-basin transfer to Penna basin via [[Galeru Nagari Sujala Sravanthi Project]]). The existing canals already draw 4 TMC of water per day from Srisailam Dam. As of June 2021, this project has no approvals from all the concerned authorities including [[Central Water Commission]], [[Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change]] etc.

In 2021,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Water wars: Telangana terms Andhra Pradesh's canal works 'illegal'|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/telangana/2021/jun/17/water-wars-telangana-terms-andhra-pradeshs-canal-works-illegal-2317295.html|access-date=2021-06-24|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref> the Government of Andhra Pradesh also started construction works for 160 km ''Right Canal of'' ''[[Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme]]'' to divert 5 TMC of water from [[Tungabhadra River]], which is a tributary of Krishna river. This would impact water withdrawal via ''Left Canal'', which flows in Karnataka and Telangana regions and has an assured water allocation of 15 TMC. As of June 2021, this project has no approvals from all the concerned authorities including Central Water Commission, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change etc.

Given these developments in Krishna Basin, on June 19, 2021,<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title=Chief Minister's Office, Telangana - Cabinet Resolutions on June 19, 2021|url=https://www.facebook.com/TelanganaCMO/posts/1609726245898888&show_text=true|website=Chief Minister's Office, Telangana - Facebook Account}}</ref> in a Cabinet Meeting of Government of Telangana, cabinet expressed that these two illegal projects would hamper interests of water projects in Telangana.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-06-19|title=రాయ‌ల‌సీమ లిఫ్ట్‌, ఆర్‌డీఎస్ కుడి కాల్వ నిర్మాణాల‌ను తీవ్రంగా నిర‌సించిన కేబినెట్‌|url=https://www.ntnews.com/telangana/ts-cabinet-condemns-ap-irrigation-projects-126219/|access-date=2021-06-24|website=Namasthe Telangana|language=en-US}}</ref> As of 2021, Telangana has so far not utilized more than 150 TMC from its assured ~300 TMC of water.<ref name=":0" />

As such, the same day, cabinet approved construction of Jogulamba Barrage with storage of 55.3 TMC in Wanaparthy district to divert water ''via'' lift to the tune of 3 TMC for the on-going Palamuru-Ranga Reddy Lift Irrigation Project, Dindi Lift Irrigation Project and Mahatma Gandhi Kalwakurthy Lift Irrigation Scheme. Srisailam backwaters would touch the foot of the proposed barrage and its backwaters would extend until near [[Lower Jurala Hydro Electric Project]].
