Solution(By Examveda Team)

The State Governments of Maharashtra and Gujarat have proposed to sign agreement on the Damanganga - Pinjal river inter-linking project. The Central Water Commission accorded inter-state clearance to the Kaleshwaram irrigation project. The Kaleshwaram project is an off-shoot of the original Pranahitha-Chevella Lift Irrigation Scheme. The Kaleshwaram project has provision for the storage of about 148 tmc ft with plans of utilising 180 tmc ft by lifting at-least 2 tmc ft water every day for 90 flood days. The project is designed to irrigate 7,38,851 hectares of land.
Kalasa-Banduri project is a part of the Mahadayi river water-sharing plan between Goa & Karnataka. Karnataka plans to divert a meagre 7.56 tmc of its Mahadayi basin contribution to the Malaprabha dam to meet the drinking water needs of the twin cities of Hubballi-Dharwad and the surrounding towns and villages.
