Andhra Pradesh: NDSA and CWA experts inspect Srisailam dam

Kurnool: A team of experts from the National Dam Safety Authority (NDSA) and Central Water Commission (CWC) inspected the safety and conservation measures of Srisailam Dam on Thursday.

During the inspection, the team observed the safety measures of the dam, plunge pool, gallery, functioning of crest gates, water pumping, dewatering, electricity and other demonstrations. Additionally, the team examined three underground galleries within the dam and discussed measures to be taken to control water leakage.

Kabir Basha, Chief Engineer, Srisailam Dam, provided information to the expert team regarding the performance and repair of radial gates of the reservoir.

Addressing the media on the dam, Kabir Basha said that a proposed budget of Rs 135 crore was presented for necessary safety repairs of Srisailam reservoir.

He said the team inquired about the condition of the plunge pool, and addressed concerns about potential hazards posed by the large pothole in front of the dam.

He said experts advised implementing measures to prevent expansion of plunge pool pits during floods.

Responding, Kabir Basha said that the apprehensions regarding the plunge pool are not at all a matter of concern as its width is increasing but the depth is not increasing. However, he said that they will follow the suggestions of the expert team on the safety of the dam.

After the inspection, the team members will submit a comprehensive report on the safety of the dam to the government for further precautions. Officials said a central monitoring system would be set up to assess the condition of the dam round the clock.
