Construction of one barrage across river Godavari at Medigadda near Kaleshwaram, and two more 
barrages between Medigadda and Sripada Yellampally Project at Annaram & Sundilla, and to convey water from Sripada Yellampally Project to the command area spread over in 7 districts of Telangana (now 13 districts after re-organization of districts in the state) through components such as canals, tunnels, lift systems, reservoirs, and distributory network for irrigating an ayacut of 18,25,700 acres against the original proposed ayacut of 16,40,000 acres. Further, it is proposed to stabilize the existing ayacut in other major projects viz., SRSP Stage-I, SRSP Stage-II, Flood Flow Canal, Singur & Nizamsagar projects to an extent of 18,82,970 acres. Besides irrigation, drinking water (30 TMC for twin cities & 10 TMC for enroute villages) & water for industrial use (16 TMC) is also proposed.
Further, after careful planning, the proposed capacity of reservoirs is increased from 11.43 TMC to 147.71 TMC by enhancing the capacities of existing reservoirs and proposing new reservoirs to match the demand and supply.
Salient Features of Link-1
Link 1 of the project consists of construction of three barrages at Medigadda, Annaram and Sundilla barrages with a storage of almost 33 TMC and it is planned to lift the water through these barrages to Sripada Yellampalli
reservoir via three lift systems at Medigadda, Annaram and Sundilla by means of conveyor system consisting of approach channel, gravity canals and delivery mains (Pipelines). The link is critical for lifting water from Godavari and dropping into Sripada Yellampally Project, which can then be conveyed further to feed various reservoirs and serve the command area under different Packages in other links.
The total length of the link is 46.30 Km. An Approach channel of length 8.1 Km, Gravity Canal of 16.3 Km and delivery mains of total length 21.95 Km is provided.
Link-4 is proposed to convey water from Mid manair Reservoir to Kondapochamma Sagar and feeding Ananthagiri, Sri Komaravelli Mallana Sagar, Sri Ranganayaka Sagar Reservoirs on the way. The total storage capacity along these packages is 71.5 TMC and total ayacut served through the Link is 5,89,280 acres.
Salient Features of Link-5
Link-5 is proposed to carry water from Sri Komaravelli Mallana Sagar to Mulkalapalli Village of Chityal Mandal and feeding Gandhamalla and Baswapur reservoirs having a total storage capacity of 21.26 TMC. The total ayacut under Link-5 is 2,51,800 Ac.
The total length of the gravity link is 207 km and a tunnel of 1.45 km length. The total length of the conveyor system of Link V is about 208.65 Km.
Salient Features of Link-6
Link-6 is crucial as it creates an ayacut of 3,29,042 Acres and carries water from Package 13 to Singur Reservoir. The total length of the gravity canal is 581 km, 0.93 km length of delivery mains, and a tunnel length of 43 km. The total length of the conveyor system of Link VI is about 625 Km.
Salient Features of Link-7
Link-7 is crucial as it creates an ayacut of 5,39,428 Ac and a storage capacity of 8.72 TMC. It carries water from the foreshore of SRSP reservoir in three directions. One off-take is from Godavari River at Package 20,
which conveys water to a series of reservoirs, canals, and tunnel systems in Package 20, 21 & 22, and irrigates ayacut under Nizamabad and Kamareddy districts. The second off-take for this link is from SRSP foreshore and conveys water to irrigate ayacut in Nirmal district under Package 27. The third off-take is also from the SRSP foreshore and creates ayacut in Nirmal district under Package 28.
The total length of the link includes a tunnel of 56 km, gravity canal of 285 km, and pressure main of 55 km length. The total length of the conveyor system of Link VII is about 395 KM.
