*Click here for Ayacut Map

INTRODUCTION

Ananthapuramu District is situated in Rayalseema region of state and lies between 13°-40'N to 15°-15'N Latitude and 76°-50'E to 78°-30'E Longitude with a population of 40,83,315 (2011 census). One of the famous spiritual center in this district is and it is 80Km. away from Ananthapuramu. The District falls partly in Krishna basin and partly in Pennar basin. The District is surrounded by , Districts on the North, and Kolar Districts of on South East and North respectively. The district is principally a hot country and temperatures vary from 17°C-40°C. The important rivers flowing in the District are (1) Pennar (2) Jayamangali (3) Chitravathi (4) Vedavathi (also called Hagari), (5) Papagni, (6) Maddileru.

The district head quarter is connected by S.C. Railways broad gauge railway line from Secunderabad, , and Bellary (Via) Guntakal to Pakala.

Most of the area in this District is covered under Minor Irrigation Sources only in addition to one completed Major Irrigation Project viz., Tungabhadra Project High level canal (TBP HLC) system stage-I (A joint venture of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh States). The Right Bank High level canal (R.B.H.L.C.) takes off from right bank of T.B. Dam and runs in Karnataka and enters in Andhra Pradesh at Km. 105.437 and contemplated to irrigate an ayacut of 2.849 Lakh acres out of this 1,45,236 acres in Ananthapuramu district and remaining is Kurnool and . The T.B.P.H.L.C. Stage-II scheme, which is an Ongoing Project has been taken up during 1967 with a cost of Rs 914.70 Lakhs to provide irrigation facilities to an extent of 2,83,041 acres (including 1,01,600 acres under PABR Stage-II, i.e., Yadiki Canal System) in Ananthapuramu, Kadapa and Kurnool districts. Out of the total ayacut of 2,83,041 acres ayacut contemplated under T.B.P.H.L.C. Stage-II scheme, an ayacut of 1,33,807 acres is situated in Ananthapuramu district. Thus the total Ayacut contemplated in Ananthapuramu district under TBP HLC Scheme (Stage-I and II) is 2, 34,177 acres.

Handri Neeva Sujala Sravanthi is another ongoing major Irrigation Project takenup in the district with utilization of 40 TMCft of Krishna water to irrigate 6.025 Lakh Acres in drought prone areas of Kurnool, Ananthapuramu and Chittoor Districts, out of this 3, 45,000 Acres is situated in Ananthapuramu District. Further in this district there are four Medium Irrigation projects 1) Upper Pennar Project (Ayacut 10048 Acres) 2) Pennar Kumudvathi Project (Ayacut 6126 Acres) 3) Bhairavanithippa Project ((Ayacut 12000 Acres) and 4) Yogivemana Reservoir Project (Ayacut 11510 Acres) and also called Maddileru Project.

2. Handri Neeva Sujala Sravanthi Project

Preamble :

The Anantha Venkata Rami H.N.S.S. Project is conceived to provide irrigation facilities to 6.025 Lakh acres (Khariff ID) in the four districts of and supply of drinking water to about 33 Lakh People, utilizing 40 TMC of flood water from the . This flood water is to be drawn from the foreshore of Srisailam reservoir with an approach channel of 3.4 Kms length and the Main canal runs for a length of 565 Kms. Water is to http://irrigationap.cgg.gov.in/wrd/getDistricts 9/23 10/31/2018 District Irrigation Profiles be drawn during the 120 flood days from August to November.

Report On Ground Water Level Scenario In Anantapuramu District Based On Water Level Recorded From Piezometers During August-2014

Introduction

Ground Water Department is monitoring the changes in ground water regime continuously through a network of OB Wells from June-1974 and piezometers from 1997. Total 73 piezometers were constructed in the District. The piezometric Groundwater levels of the district are monitored through automatic water level recorders and manual and the fluctuations noticed seasonally and annually are analysed in relation to rainfall, recharge measures, drought and extraction of ground water in the area. The water level data collected in the month of August-2014 is analysed and compared with earlier periods for studying the seasonal and annual fluctuations in water level in relation to rainfall continuously.

Rainfall

Rainfall is the principal source of ground water recharge. The behaviour of ground water table is essentially governed by rainfall, it's quantity, intensity, duration and frequency.

Conclusions

(STATEMENT-I)In the present water year 2014-15, Ananthapuramu district has a normal rainfall of 220.0 mm up to August-2014. It has received 144.3 mm (34% deficit) rainfall in the water year 2014-15, where as it was 206.5 mm (6% deficit) during the same period in the previous water year. The net fall of water level from August-2014 and August-2013 is 0.88m, which is due to excess rainfall in the current year, than the previous year.

Ground Water resource available, Utilization and stage of utilization based on Groundwater estimation in 2010(Base Year 2010-11):

The total Groundwater resource available is 1,44,156 Ha.m (50.87 TMC). Utilization is 1,14,182 Ha.m (40.29 TMC). The available balance is 29,974 Ha.m (10.57 TMC).

The stage of Groundwater development (Utilization) is 79% and categorized as semi critical.

62% Mandals (39) are categorized as Groundwater stress areas falling in over exploited (OE) (21) ; critical (2) ; semi critical (16) categories and only 38% Mandals (24) are in safe category.

In this situation the need of the hour is 1) To harvest the rainfall run-off and recharge the groundwater body and 2) Judicial use/Efficient use of Groundwater in water stressed areas i.e., Over exploited (OE), Critical, Semi Critical areas to mitigate the drought situation effectively.

1) Harvesting of rainfall runoff:-

a) Renovation of existing water bodies to restore the original storage capacity by I & CAD and DWMA.

b) Tank desilting by Water Resources Department, DWMA under MGNREGS.

c) On farm water harvesting through farm ponds by DWMA & Agriculture Department.

d) New water harvesting structures i.e., check dams, percolation tanks etc by DWMA and I & CAD Departments.

2) Judicial use/Efficient use of Groundwater:-

a)Change in cropping pattern as suggested by Agriculture and Horticulture Department.

b) Micro Irrigation methods by APMIP.
