The non-operational Medigadda barrage is expected to handle significant water inflows during the current monsoon season.
Technical projections suggest Medigadda could receive up to 300 tmc ft of water by late July despite deficit forecasts.
Experts recommend building temporary coffer dams to enable water storage and pumping across the Kaleshwaram system.
Failure to capture available Godavari water could lead to public frustration if the monsoon season falls short of expectations.
