With heavy rains in the last few days; all rivers, streams, lakes
and tanks in AP State are in spate. All reservoirs except Nagarjuna Sagar have almost
reached their “Full Reservoir Levels”, as you can see in the above chart. With more
rains to come in September, the State is assured of plenty of water for
irrigation and power generation for a very large part of this year. Especially
the power position which has been deteriorating since January and has led to
lot of inconvenience to households, offices, agriculturists and industries with
several hours of scheduled and unscheduled power cuts should soon end.
The heavy rains also caused chaos for a few hours at some places
and for a couple of days in few other areas. At a number of places road and rail traffic
got paralysed and hundreds of villages got cut off from towns. Some crops were destroyed
and several low lying areas got inundated causing inconvenience and losses to farmers
and residents. But ultimately the majority of the people are happy as there
would be no water and power shortage this year!?
Here is a thanksgiving verse by my wife from her facebook status
along with the photographs she posted of the Madhavi Lata
Creeper which has covered the entire facade of our house and spread on to the
terrace and is now in blossom, literally with thousands of flowers:
Thousands of bright and fragrant
flowers,
Blossom on our terrace to thank
heavens,
For blessing earth and us with ample Water,
To end scarcity of Water and Hydel Power!
