The State government has decided to ask ICRISAT to conduct an in-depth study to assess the impact of de-siltation of tanks taken up under the prestigious Mission Kakatiya project.
The study to be conducted over two years would cover aspects like impact of de-siltation on water availability for irrigation, changes in cropping pattern and recharge of groundwater. It would incorporate economic valuation in terms of nutrients applied, among others.
