The Vidarbha Irrigation Development Corporation (VIDC) has decided to construct a 60km-long water tunnel, the longest in the country. It will bring water from Kanhan River to Totladoh reservoir situated on Pench river, at an investment of ₹2,800 crore. As the state's first inter-basin water transfer or inter-linking river project, it will bring 280-300 million metre cube (MMC) water to the reservoir between July and December, using gravitational force, said official sources. VIDC officials have planned the project to tackle the water crisis caused due to construction of Chaurai dam on Pench river‘s upstream by the Madhya Pradesh government. As against a capacity of 1,017 MMC, Totladoh reservoir is receiving only 400-500 MMC water after the dam was built. The central government has appointed WAPCOS Limited to prepare a DPR of the project, which will be submitted to the state and central governments for funding. Minister Nitin Gadkari has agreed to clear the project after mandatory clearances are in place.
