The Wyra reservoir, a medium irrigation project in Wyra mandal, is likely to emerge as a major drinking water source under the Telangana government’s ambitious “Water Grid” scheme.
Lifeline for farmers
The irrigation project, the lifeline for farmers in Wyra and Bonakal mandals, has been identified along with the Palair balancing reservoir in Kusumanchi mandal as the main drinking water sources apart from the Godavari and Kinnerasani rivers under the Water Grid scheme.
