has gloss | eng: Jala Yagnam, (water worship), is a water management program in India. It has been implemented by Hon. Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, India, Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy as a election promise to the farmers of the state to bring 82 lakh acres under irrigation in five years. The project requires the construction of 78 dams and is expected to displace significant numbers of people whose villages will be submerged. This project accords the highest priority for the development of irrigation infrastructure, particularly in backward and drought prone areas by taking up this program in a big way. Jala Yagnam includes a number of irrigation projects by construction of reservoirs and lift irrigation systems for lifting water from major rivers, particularly from Godavari, to provide immediate irrigation benefits. |
