The tanks and lakes are dug to remove silt for increasing water storage capacity. The household agricultural income has also increased by 78.50% in the tank ayacut area.

History

The agriculture was solely depended on the tanks. Until the Nizam rule, the tanks had a capacity of 244 TMC in Telangana region, but due to negligence most of it was lost. The irrigated land (ayacut) under 70,000 tanks in 1956 was around 25 lakh acres. By 2014 the tanks left were 46,531, nearly half of them were dry. The farmers started depending on water wells for agriculture. When the water table depleted the wells dried up, farmers started digging borewells, which also dried up for lack of Land and Groundwater.

The project

The project was taken up in five phases:

Phase one - 8003 tanks

Phase two - 8927 tanks

Phase three - 5886 tanks

Phase four - 6000 tanks

Phase five - Remainder and New tanks creation

Big tanks and lakes, with higher ayacut, were taken up first. By March 2018, 27,713 lakes work was completed, spending ₹8700 crores, stabilizing and providing water for 20 lakh acres.
