నల్లమల సాగర్ ప్రాజెక్టుతో ఎవరికీ నష్టం లేదు. వృథాగా సముద్రంలోకి వెళ్లే నీటిని ఉపయోగించుకుంటే నష్టం ఏముంటుంది? కాళేశ్వరం ప్రాజెక్టు నిర్మించినప్పుడు మేమెప్పుడూ అభ్యంతరం చెప్పలేదు. నీటి విషయంలో ప్రాంతీయ విద్వేషాలు కాదు – పరస్పర సహకారం కావాలి. తెలుగు జాతి అంతా ఒక్కటే. రాష్ట్రాల మధ్య గొడవలు కాదు, కలిసి పని చేయడమే పరిష్కారం. — ముఖ్యమంత్రి చంద్రబాబు నాయుడు #NallamalaSagar #WaterForDevelopment #TeluguUnity #ChandrababuNaidu

Incredibly humbled to have had the opportunity to stand at the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam #GERD just weeks before today’s historic inauguration. Walking along its expanse, feeling the sheer force of engineering vision translated into reality, I was reminded that Africa is capable of reshaping its destiny through bold, basin-wide investments. Today, as GERD — Africa’s largest hydropower project — was officially inaugurated, it marked far more than the commissioning of a dam. It is a continental symbol of possibility, resilience, and the power of rivers to drive transformation. At 1.8 km wide, 145 metres high, with a capacity of 74 billion cubic metres and a generation potential of 5,000 MW, GERD is a staggering achievement. But beyond the numbers, it represents something larger: the audacity to dream at scale, to act with persistence, and to believe in the future we can build with our own hands. For us at @TardaKE, the inauguration of GERD resonates deeply. Our own dams — Kiambere, Masinga, the Tana & Athi Basin systems as well as dams across the country— may operate at a different scale, but they reflect the same ethos: that when nations harness their rivers strategically, they unlock energy, food security, water access, and climate resilience for their people. As I reflect on my recent visit to GERD, I am reminded that every dam, whether in Ethiopia or Kenya, is not just infrastructure — it is a promise to generations. A promise that rivers can carry the weight of both survival and progress. Today, Africa celebrates Ethiopia’s achievement. Tomorrow, we must all take inspiration from it. At TARDA, we remain steadfast in advancing basin-based, people-centred development — ensuring that Kenya’s rivers, too, continue to power homes, feed families, and secure futures. The GERD is proof that Africa can. Our rivers remind us that Africa must. #GERDinauguration #Hydropower #WaterForDevelopment #SustainableEnergy #ClimateResilience #RiverBasinManagement #AfricaRising #EnergySecurity #FoodSecurity #IntegratedWaterManagement #InfrastructureForGrowth #TransformingCommunities @EACAffairsKenya @CSBeatriceMoe @ASALs_Regional @harsama_kello

The climate crisis is not abstract for us — it is lived daily in our basins, farms, and communities. The Climate Action Summit 2025 Breakfast Meeting, hosted by Expo Events Services, @KSGKenya, and the @nairobi_rivers Commission, underscored that truth with urgency. At @TardaKE, we see climate action through a very practical lens: ✅Rivers as lifelines for food production and energy security. ✅Ecosystems as buffers for resilience against droughts and floods. ✅Communities as the first line of both vulnerability and innovation. Our task is clear: to move from commitments to coordinated outcomes that improve livelihoods today while securing sustainability for generations. At TARDA, our mandate is not just custodial — it is catalytic. We are actively investing in integrated basin management, climate-smart agriculture, and renewable energy transitions that serve both people and planet. These are not pilot projects; they are models for scaling. I am honored to join leaders at the Climate Action Summit 2025 (23–26 September, Nairobi) as a Speaker, where I intend to amplify a simple but profound message: Africa’s contribution must be rooted in action that transforms livelihoods. COP30 in Belém will be a milestone, but what we do between now and then will determine whether Africa walks in as a passenger in the global climate agenda — or as a driver. The time to lead is now. #ClimateAction2025 #COP30 #SustainableFutures #WaterForDevelopment #TARDA

📍नाशिक | उल्हास-वैतरणा नदीजोड प्रकल्प कार्यालयाचे उद्घाटन नाशिक येथे उल्हास-वैतरणा नदीजोड प्रकल्प कार्यालयाचे उद्घाटन मंत्री डॉ. राधाकृष्ण विखे पाटील व माझ्या प्रमुख उपस्थितीत आज संपन्न झाले. दुष्काळमुक्त, जलसमृद्ध महाराष्ट्राच्या दिशेने टाकलेले हे एक ठोस पाऊल असून भविष्यातील नाशिक, मराठवाडा आणि गोदावरी खोऱ्याच्या जलआवश्यकता लक्षात घेता, हा प्रकल्प राज्यासाठी अत्यंत महत्त्वाचा ठरणार आहे. किकवी धरणाचे काम कुंभमेळ्यापूर्वी पूर्ण व्हावे, अशी माझी ठाम भूमिका असून नाशिककरांच्या पिण्याच्या पाण्याच्या प्रश्नावर दूरदृष्टीने काम सुरू आहे. आज देशात असा कायदा आहे की, ज्या राज्यात पाऊस पडतो, त्या पाण्याचा हक्क त्या राज्याचा असतो. मात्र, कोकणात मोठ्या प्रमाणावर पाऊस होऊनही हे पाणी आजवर समुद्रात वाहून जात होते. आता हे पाणी उपयुक्त क्षेत्रात वळवण्याचा धाडसी निर्णय महायुती सरकारने घेतला आहे. यावेळी उपस्थितांसमोर पुढे बोलताना, ११५ टीएमसी पाण्याचा वापर शक्य होण्यासाठी भरीव गुंतवणूक करणे अत्यावश्यक आहे. यामुळे केवळ सिंचनच नव्हे तर पिण्याचे पाणी, शेती आधारित उद्योग, फळबागा, निर्यातक्षम शेती, जलसाठ्यांवरील दाब कमी होणे, अशा सर्व क्षेत्रांमध्ये क्रांती घडवता येईल. 'पाणी' ही आता केवळ नैसर्गिक सोय न राहता, विकासाची शक्ती ठरत आहे, असा विश्वास उपस्थितांसमोर व्यक्त केला. आदरणीय पंतप्रधान नरेंद्र मोदीजींच्या ‘आत्मनिर्भर भारत’ दृष्टिकोनाला अनुसरून आणि मुख्यमंत्री देवेंद्र फडणवीस यांच्या नेतृत्वातील महायुती सरकारमुळे, नदीजोड प्रकल्पांद्वारे राज्याच्या जलनीतीला गती मिळत आहे. हा प्रकल्प हे एक ‘व्हिजन डॉक्युमेंट’ असून नाशिकसह संपूर्ण महाराष्ट्राच्या समृद्ध भविष्यासाठीचा आधारस्तंभ ठरणार आहे. जनतेच्या सहकार्याने हा जलआधारित विकास नक्कीच यशस्वी करू, असा विश्वास यावेळी व्यक्त केला. यावेळी अन्न व औषध प्रशासन मंत्री नरहरी झिरवाळ, क्रीडा मंत्री माणिकराव कोकाटे, खासदार भास्कर भगरे, आमदार डॉ.राहुल आहेर, आमदार दिलीप बनकर, आमदार राहुल ढिकले, आमदार हिरामण खोसकर, आमदार अमोल खताळ, आमदार आशुतोष काळे, आमदार काशिनाथ दाते, आमदार विठ्ठल लंघे, आमदार देवयानी फरांदे, जलसंपदा विभागाचे मुख्य अभियंता प्रकाश मिसाळ, अधीक्षक अभियंता राजेश गोवर्धने, नांदूर मधमेश्वर प्रकल्प विभागाचे अधीक्षक अभियंता बाळासाहेब शेटे यांच्यासह मान्यवर उपस्थित होते. #WaterForDevelopment #RiverLinkingProject #NashikDevelopment #JalSamruddhMaharashtra #SustainableWaterManagement

This week, @TardaKE has engaged in two deeply insightful consultative sessions with experts from @kalromkulima, Jessica Ndumi and Dr. Ruth Musila—to advance our shared agenda on low-carbon, gender-transformative agriculture. From tackling methane emissions in paddy rice farming to addressing structural inequalities in project access and benefit, the message has been clear: climate solutions must not only be science-driven—they must be just, inclusive, and empowering. I'm grateful for the thought leadership shared—on emission pathways, participatory gender analysis, and community-anchored approaches to climate resilience. These conversations have sharpened our focus and reaffirmed TARDA’s commitment to: ✅ Mainstream gender-transformative strategies in climate programming, ✅ Support research-backed methane mitigation across the Tana Delta Irrigation Project, ✅ And build systems where women, youth, and marginalized groups are agents of change—not afterthoughts. As we move forward with our partners at KALRO, we are not just piloting interventions—we are laying the groundwork for a more equitable, climate-smart future in water and agriculture. Let’s continue asking the hard questions—not just “who is included,” but who is empowered. #ClimateLeadership #GenderTransformation #MethaneReduction #TARDA #TDIP #KALRO #ClimateJustice #SustainableFarming #WaterForDevelopment #InclusiveAgriculture #LowCarbonTransition
