The Vamsadhara Water Dispute Tribunal allowed Andhra Pradesh (AP) to construct Kattragadda side weir with certain conditions.
It is estimated that 45,000 acre in the backward Srikakulam district will benefit due to this decision. The Vamsadhara river originates in Odisha and flows into AP. In 1962, an agreement had been reached between the two states to share the river water on a 50:50 basis.
AP has proposed to take up the Vamsadhara project in two stages. The Stage-I comprises Gotta barrage and left main canal to irrigate an ayacut of 148,000 acre. Under Stage-II, it is proposed to irrigate 107,000 acre.
