General Resource Status of Dhone and Kalyandurg General resource status 4 of Dhone and Kalyandurg 4.1 Groundwater resources Well statistics Figures 18 and 19 show the locations of wells in Kalyandurg and Dhone respectively. These data were collected as part of the well survey carried out by the Andhra Pradesh Groundwater Department. The wells surveyed included open wells, inborewells and borewells. Wells that were defunct but still intact were included in the survey, whereas open wells that had been completely abandoned and borewells that no longer had headworks were not included in the survey. These figures show the preference for siting wells near to drainage lines. In general, the absence of wells in certain areas can be explained in terms of either unfavourable geological conditions or poor groundwater quality. 40 Figure 18.

In contrast, respectively. As information on date of peaks during the last 25 years were related construction of wells was elicited in part from primarily to government grants and loans that local villagers, information for the first part of encouraged sudden spurts in well construction. the century is presented on a decadal basis. The peaks in well construction during the first part 42 The following points relate to the history and pattern of well construction in these mandals: Box 8. Driving forces behind well construction . There has been a dramatic increase in well construction and groundwater extraction Factors that have encouraged the increase during the last 15 years primarily for in well construction include: groundwater-based irrigation; . Official statistics on well construction . Markedly higher and more reliable underestimate the current number of wells returns that farmers get from by a factor of two. This finding has major irrigated cropping as opposed to implications for estimation of groundwater rainfed cropping; draft that is based on well statistics .

The shift in well construction from open farmers accessing the same aquifer. wells to borewells, in Kalyandurg in This has led to competetive particular, represents a shift from deepening of wells and/or construction groundwater extraction that exploited of new borewells. shallow regolith aquifers to extraction from deeper bedrock aquifers. Figure 22 presents the status of wells surveyed in Kalyandurg. It can be seen that in early 2001, 31% of the wells surveyed had either failed completely or were unreliable. The wells that were completely defunct were predominantly open wells. Similar analysis of survey data for Dhone indicated that less than 1% of wells were defunct and 7% of wells failed routinely. Although the number and density of wells in Kalyandurg and Dhone was similar, this difference in well failure was explained by the fact that levels of groundwater extraction for irrigation, domestic use and livestock were around 30% higher in Kalyandurg as compared to Dhone. In both mandals indications were that competition for water between farmers was intensifying. The prognosis is therefore for an increase in well failure in both mandals and a more marked shift from open well to borewell construction in Dhone. Figure 22. Well failure rates in Kalyandurg 43 Domestic water use Net groundwater extraction for irrigation, rainfall for Kalyandurg and Dhone respectively. domestic and livestock use for Kalyandurg and If annual domestic and livestock use are Dhone was estimated at 11.0% and 8.4% of mean considered in terms of average annual annual rainfall respectively. As the Andhra Pradesh groundwater recharge, it is apparent that Groundwater Department estimate of currently 6% and 8% of average annual recharge groundwater recharge in this area is approximately is being used to meet these needs in Kalyandurg 10% of annual rainfall, this suggests that current and Dhone respectively. Taking a population levels of extraction in Kalyandurg are not growth rate of 2.5% and assuming that current sustainable. Analysis of villagewise groundwater per capita levels of water use are maintained, it extraction showed large differences between can be estimated that groundwater extraction for villages in both mandals. These were attributed in domestic and livestock use will double in the next part to more favourable hydro-geological 30 years to 12% and 16% of average annual conditions in some villages and in part to groundwater recharge. In many village areas, variations in the historical pattern of development meeting this increased demand will not be of both ground and surface water resources. This possible without a commensurate reduction in finding, coupled with the results of analysis of groundwater use for irrigation. There is cadastral information, illustrates the fact that there considerable variability in domestic water use is neither equitable access to irrigation between with some revenue village areas (e.g. Dhone town, villages nor between households within villages. Kalyandurg town and Duradakunta) having Figure 23 gives an indication of the number of current levels of use well in excess of 20% of wells per revenue village in Kalyandurg that were average annual recharge. being used as sources of water for irrigation and domestic supply. As might be expected, the number of “irrigation” wells now far exceeds the number of “domestic supply” wells. Annual groundwater extraction for domestic and livestock use was estimated at 0.6% and 0.8% of annual Figure 23. Use of wells in Kalyandurg 44 Figure 24.

Electricity tariffs for irrigation wells One-off connection charges include: a Rs.25 application fee, a Rs.100 security deposit and a development fee of Rs.1,000 per HP of the pump. Once connected, the electricity tariff is an annual charge that depends only on the rating of the pump. Pumps with ratings of up to 3 HP, 3-5 HP, 5-10 HP and more than 10 HP have annual tariffs of Rs.225, Rs.375, Rs.475 and Rs.575 respectively. Farmers with small and marginal holdings can opt for unit payment or optional tariff of Rs.0.2 per unit up to 2,500 units and Rs.0.5 for consumption in excess of 2,500 units. 46 Figure 26. Stage of groundwater development in Kalyandurg Figure 26 presents stage of groundwater development in Kalyandurg as estimated by the Andhra Pradesh Groundwater Department using data collected during the Water Audit survey. This figure shows that groundwater development has reached the “critical” or “over-exploited” stage in two thirds of the villages in this mandal. Subsequent and more detailed water-budget investigations carried out by the DFID-supported WHiRL project in four villages in Kalyandurg supported the findings presented here.

  • Environmental Degradation and Landscape Management of the Nallamalai and Erramalai Hills of the Rayalaseema Region, Andhra Pradesh, India Using Geospatial Technology
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2013): 6.14 | Impact Factor (2014): 5.611 Environmental Degradation and Landscape Management of the Nallamalai and Erramalai Hills of the Rayalaseema Region, Andhra Pradesh, India Using Geospatial Technology Kommu Somanna1, Mendu Sambasiva Rao2 1,2Dept. of Geography, Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Anantapuramu, Andhra Pradesh, India Abstract: The Nallamalai and Erramalai hills of the Rayalaseema region posses rich biotic and mineral resources. They are formed of structural hills and cuesta hills enclosing the Kadapa and Kunderu valleys. They are also formed of Proterozoic formations consisting of shales, dolomite, limestone and quartzite. The Nallamalai hills raised to a height of about 600 to 900 meters above MSL and are covered with thick dry deciduous forests. The Erramalai hills range in height from 300 to 600 meters above MSL and are covered with scrubs and shrubs. The IRS IB Geo-coded data on scale 1:50,000 and Survey of India topographic sheets on scale 1:50,000 are used to map the ecologically disturbed zones in Nallamalai hills and land degradation due to over exploitation of mineral resources of the Erramalai hills. The intensity of soil removal, Sediment Yield Index and Erosion Index are worked out at sub-basin level and the environmental degraded zones are delineated. Based on the intensity of ecological and environmental degradation a few suggestions are made for better landscape management of the Erramalai and Nallamalai hills. Keywords: Proterozoic, deciduous, ecologically, intensity, degraded. 1. Introduction 2. Study Area Land degradation is defined as the land is subjected to The Nallamalai, Erramalai, Palakonda, Velikonda, Tirumala degradation processes by weathering and mass wasting and Seshachalam hills cover an area of about 51.142km2.
