What we know
Land acquisition and rehabilitation for Upper Krishna Project Stage III are a long-running problem.
The Environment Ministry's 2019 appraisal minutes describe a proposed increase in Almatti's reservoir level from 519.60 m to 524.256 m, with 30,875 hectares of additional submergence and rehabilitation of 22 villages. These are project-design figures, not a current count of outstanding claims.
Open questions
- How many families have been compensated and resettled so far, and how many are still waiting?
- How much land has been acquired, and at what rate per acre?
- What will the higher reservoir level deliver in irrigation, and for which districts?
