Explanation

The linking of the Godavari and Krishna rivers, specifically through the Pattiseema Lift Irrigation Project in Andhra Pradesh, was undertaken and became operational around 2015-2016. This project aimed to divert Godavari river waters from the Polavaram project right main canal to the Krishna river at the Krishna delta, to meet irrigation and drinking water needs in the Krishna basin, especially in times of deficit. This was a significant inter-basin water transfer project in recent Indian history.
