The barrage will come up within the limits of four villages -- Gummadam, Gondimalla, Velaturu and Pedda Maruru -- between Gadwal and Wanaparthy districts. The water will be used to fill Edula reservoir which was part of Palamaru - Ranga Reddy lift-irrigation scheme, it was decided at the Cabinet meeting presided by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Saturday. Further, the left canal of Pulichintala project will be constructed to irrigate two lakh acres in Nalgonda and Suryapet districts.
