Listof figures INTRODUCTION The Stateof Andhra Pradeshcomprises three regionsnamely, Coastal, Telangana and Rayalaseema.The economy of A.P.is predominantlyagrarian; agriculture contributes about50% to the State'sincome and employsabout 70% of thework force. Since agriculture is the prime mover and hub of all economicactivities, growth in economy is largely dependenton continuousgrowth in agricultureand the removalof constraintsthereto. Governmentof AndhraPradesh is strivingto alleviatethe sufferingsof the people in the state in general,and those in the droughtprone areas, in particular.Rayalaseema and Telanganaregions being the State'smost backwardand droughtprone regions,the impactof irrigationon the poorestpeople would be significantand developmentwill be substantial,once water reaches these areas. HenceRayalaseema and Telangana regions of the State were chosen for providingirrigation benefits under two sub projectsviz., SrisailamRight BranchCanal (SRBC)Scheme and Sriramsagar(SRS) Scheme under the SecondA.P. IrrigationProject. 1.1 SECONDA.P. IRRIGATIONPROJECT The SecondA.P. IrrigationProject was taken up with the financialassistance of World Bankto the tune of SDR 127.5M (US $140 M as on 1986)as creditand US$ 131 M as loan. The projectwas plannedto be completedin a durationof sevenand half years i.e., from June 1986to December31, 1993with the credit/loanclosing date as June 30, 1994. Themain objective of the projectwas to increaseagriculture production and farmers incomein the commandarea of boththe projects;(i) SRBC(65,000 ha) and(ii) Sriramsagar (SRS) KakatiyaCanal Command(modernisation of 1,65,000ha and developmentof 1,63,000ha). The maincomponents of the projectwere: !. SRBCSub-Project 1. SRB Canal from the BanakacherlaRegulator to the Gorakallubypass structure. 2. The GorakalluBypass structure 3. SRBCanal beyond the GorakalluBypass structure for about100 Km (ending Km 141.0). II. SRSSub-Project 1. Upgradingand completionof conveyanceworks of KakatiyaCanal Command betweenKm 0- 146 2. Completionand new conveyanceworks of the KakatiyaCanal Command between Km 146 - 267. 3. Excavationof the tail sectionof the KakatiyaCanal to serveas an escape (Km 267 - 284). Thoughthe projectimplementation improved very much in the last two and half years i.e., 1992-93onwards, the projectcould not be completedin full by June 30, 1994 becauseof earlierslippages in the projectimplementation. Though the overallphysical progressto end of June 1994 was only 30% (SRBC 38% and SRS 21%), since the 3 achievementunder certain connectedactivities was nearlyfull the projectwould have been ableto irrigatein 1996-97i.e., with an extensionof three years. 1.2 NECESSITYOF THIRDA.P. IRRIGATIONPROJECT Sincethe objectivesof the SecondA.P. Irrigation Project could not be achieveddue to non completionof the projectit is felt desirablenot to leaveor delaythe projectin the present half - finishedand inoperablestate but to find additionalinvestment needed to complete theworks early and realisethe potentialcreated by pastinvestments and assistfor increased agriculturalproduction and improvethe economyof the backwardregions of Andhra Pradesh. TheThird A.P. IrrigationProject thus contemplatesto completethe spill overworks of the SecondA.P. IrrigationProject at the earliestto generatethe benefitscontemplated. 4 THE PROJECT AND OBJECTIVES 2.1. SRISAILAM RIGHT BRANCH CANAL 2.1.1. Introduction: The SrisailamRight Branch Canal (SRBC)draws its water from SrisialamReservoir, built across Krishna river. An approach channel has been provided within the reservoir to supply water at the Pothireddypadu Regulator. A right main canal takes off from the regulator,traverses a length of 16.34 km through Mittakandaladeep cut (the ridge between Krishna and Pennar basins) upto Banakacharla Regulator. SRBC takes off from the right of the regulator to provide irrigation to an area of 65,000 ha in Kurnool District. The service area is almost rectangular in shape with a length of 130 km and a width of 5 to 10 km. There is no irrigation in the first 50 km upto Gorakallu Bypass. Below the Bypass, the canal traverses a length of 64 km before joining the Owk reservoir through a 1.89 km long tunnel. The canal then extends to km 141 to provide irrigation to an area of 65000 ha. Locationmap and Index plan of SRBC sub-projectare shown in Fig 1 & 2. The components of the project are as follows: i) SRB Canal from the Banakacherla Regulator to the Gorakallu Bypass Structure, for a length of 50.753 Km. ii) The Gorakallu bypass structure. iii) SRB canal from the Gorakallu bypass structure to Owk Reservoir. iv) Owk tunnel from km 113.525 to 115.584. v) Owk Reservoir from km 115.584 to 119.5 vi) Major distributory from km 119.5 to 141. vii) Distributory Network in Block I to XVI. viii) Feeder Road network. 2.1.2. Geology: The main geological formations in the project area comprise the Nandyal shales, Koilkuntlalimestones, Panyamquartzites, Owk shales, Narji limestonesand Banaganapalli quartzites. The hill ranges along the western boundary in Banaganapalli mandal consist of quartzite overlying calcarious shales. In the Kunderu plain limestones and shales predominate. 2.1.3. Physiography: 85% of the command area is nearly plain with slope of less than 1%. The rest of the command is very gently sloping with slopes of 1-3%. Physiographically,the area can be divided into three main units viz., hills, gently undulating plains and valleys. The hills are residual relief features comprising quartzites and limestones. The quartzite hills are gently dipping and are underlain by shales and limestoneswith escarpment on western side and a gentle dip towards east terminating into a plain. Elsewhere,gently dipping quartzites are surrounded by plains all around. The plains are vast stretches of land which occupy 85% of the command area. Many small streams traverse the plain forming narrow linear valleys moderately to severely eroded and salt-affected lands are formed near the valleys. The 5 plainshave very deep darkcolour cracking type of claysoils. The valleyshave weatheredl transportedmaterial. Evidenceof erosion in the form of sheet wash and rills can be observed. 2.1.4 Soils: The soils in the commandare generallyblack cotton soils derivedfrom lime stones and shaleswith intrusionsof quartzitesand sand stones.80% of the area is coveredby deep black cottonsoils. About 83%of the soils are in irrigabilityclass-l1, even as 95% of the soils excludinghills are culturable. 2.1.5. Drainage: The commandarea is drainedby Kunderuriver which is a tributaryof the Pennar flowingfrom Nallamalahills in the Northto Erramalahills in the South.It is joined by many local streamsduring its course, the importantones being the Jurreruand Paleru.The drainagepattern of the commandarea is dendritic. 2.1.6 Climate: The climateof the area is of temperatetype with hot summersand mild winters. The meandaily maximumtemperature during winter is 300C and minimum17.50 C. The mean daily maximumtemperature during summer is 41.40C and a minimumis 28.50C. The relative humidityvaries from month to month and increasesfrom 65% to 85% in South-Westmonsoons. It is lessthan 65% in the rest of the year. 2.1.7. Rainfall: Theaverage annual rainfall in the SRBCCommand area is 761 mmwith a maximum spreadover of three monthsfrom Julyto September.Nearly 71% of the rainfallis received duringSouth-West monsoon (July to September)and 29% during the North-Eastmonsoon monthsof Octoberto December.The lowestrainfall recorded in the commandis 506 mm at Owk whichis very meagrefor irrigateddry crops.The lowestrainfall in the last 90 years (1901- 1990)was 28 mm in 1920and the heaviestrainfall 1070 mm in 1970. 2.1.8. Population: The SRBCserves a major part of Kurnooldistrict which has a total populationof 2.97 million.74.17% of the populationis rural and the balance25.83% urban. Cultivators constitute11.16% of thedistrictpopulationwhileagriculturallabourers accountfor22.34%. The populationof the commandarea spread over 11 mandalscomprising 102 villagesis 0.26million. Farm holders constitute 13.8% of thetotal population of the command area.The marginaland small farm holdersform a majorityof 65.76%with marginalfarmers constitutingthe single largestgroup (38.29%).Between them, they hold

Seeta* and P. Manikya Reddy Department of Botany, Osmania University, Hyderabad-500007, Telangana State, India. *Department of Environmental Science, Osmania University, Hyderabad-500007, Telangana State, India. Abstract Lakes are the important water resources and used for several purposes. The water quality of all fresh water environments is assessed by the physico-chemical and biological parameters. The present investigation is focused on the water quality and diversity of algae. In the present study, four groups of algae viz., Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae were identified. In the dam Bacillariophyceae was dominant among all other classes having maximum diversity followed by Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae. The maximum growth of diatoms was recorded during winter, minimum values were attained during summer and rainy season.The dam water is extensively used for drinking and irrigational purposes. Key words: Physico-chemical parameters, Manair dam, Phytoplankton and Diversity Introduction In limnological studies, to determine the water quality in lake, pond, stream and river and to identify of algae that composed to primary productivity and to obtain this continuity are very important. Diversity of phytoplankton is an indication of purity and the use of community structure to assess pollution is conditioned by four assumptions: the natural community will evolve towards greater species complexity which eventually stabilizes; this process increases the functional complexity of the system; complex communities are more stable than simple communities, and pollution stress simplifies a complex community by eliminating the more sensitive species (Akbay et al., 1999).

  • Assessment of Waterlogging in Sriram Sagar Command Area
    CS(AR) 202 ASSESSMENT OF WATERLOGGING IN SRIRAM SAGAR COMMAND AREA \ e ana We Trans! NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HYDROLOGY JAL VIGYAN BHAWAN ROORKEE - 247 667 (U.P.) INDIA 1995-96 PREFACE India has very large and ambitious plans for the development of irrigation and, which are indeed very essential for diversifying agriculture as also for increasing and stabilizing crop production. It is expected that when the various irrigation projects are completed, irrigation will be practiced over, at least double the present area. This is what it should be if the country has to make economic progress quickly. But if the intelligent use of water is not pre-planned, the dreadful history may repeat itself with all its attendant havocs of seepage, rise in water table, widespread waterlogging and salinity. Irrigated agriculture instead of ensuring prosperity and economic stability may threaten the very security of the'land. Waterlogging throws a challenge to irrigated agriculture. The success depends how we take up that challenge and save our national heritage, the soil, from deterioration. Irrigation projects involving interbasin transfer of water without adequate drainage has disrupted the equilibrium between the ground water recharge and discharge resulting in accretions to the ground water table. After commissioning of the Sriram Sagar Irrigation Project in 1970, there was a general rise in grOund water table. The Sriram Sagar command area faces problems of waterlogging resulting from over irrigation & seepage losses through distributory system. This study is an attempt to assess the areas affected by waterlogging and areas sensitive to waterlogging in the Sriram Sager command area using Indian Remote Sensing Satellite data.

JAYA RAO OF THE INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE DIRECTOR OF CENSUS OPERATIONS ANDHRA PRADESH PUBLISHED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH 1986 POTHANA - THE GREAT DEVOUT POET The motif presented on the cover page represents Bammera Pothana, also called Pothanamatya, a devout poet belonging to the 15th century A. D. said to have hailed from the village Bammera near Warangal. The spiritual history of India is replete with devotional poetry and it was termed as BHAKTI movement, the 'CULT OF DEVOTION'. The SRIMADANDHRA MAHA­ BHAGA VATHAM rendered in Telugu by Pothana gave necessary fillip to this movement And nay! he could be treated as a progenitor of this movement. Pothana started this movement even before Chaitanya started the same movement in Bengal and Vallabh8chC/rya in Gujarat. In the Telugu country, this movement wastaken to great heights by Saints and lyricists like Annamacharya, Kshetrayya and Ramadas of Bhadrachalam fa"!e. Besides Bhagavatham,Pothana wrote VEERABHADRA VIJAYAM in praise of Lord Siva, which could be considered almost a Saivaite AGAMA SASTRA, BHOGINI DANDAKAM and NARA YANA SATAKAM, a devotional composition in praise of Lord Narayana or Vishnu. Pothana was a great poet of aesthetic eminence and his style was so simple and attractive to the common people as well as pedants.

    Published: August 29, 2011 00:00 IST | Updated: August 29, 2011 04:04 IST Tiruvannamalai, August 29, 2011 Turmeric farmers fear steep fall in revenue Turmeric crop at Kalpattu near Padavedu. — Photo: D.Gopalakrishnan Turmeric farmers fear that there could be a huge fall in revenue this year despite a good harvest. While falling prices play the spoilsport, lack of storage facilities and market in Tiruvannamalai district, an emerging turmeric cultivation region, force them to shell out more money to transport processed turmeric to Erode market. Though Tiruvannamalai district is not famous for turmeric cultivation like Erode is, gradually the turmeric cultivation has extended in various parts of the district, as the farmers were attracted by the returns the crop gave in the previous years. According to official statistics, 11 out of 18 blocks in the district has turmeric cultivation while only Chengam, Polur, Arani and West Arani blocks have concentrated pockets of turmeric cultivation. Kalpattu, a small hillside village near Kannamangalam features turmeric as its main crop alongside yam. S.Settu, Villag Panchayat member and a farmer, said that turmeric which was once considered by villagers to be as promising as gold now turned into a cause for nightmare. “Until last year, a quintal of turmeric sold for about Rs.17,000 in Erode market. This year the market witnessed a steady fall and now reached as low as Rs.5,000- Rs.6,000 a quintal. Moreover, the cost involved in transporting turmeric to Erode market eats into the revenue,” he complained. “Apart from Kalpattu, villages like Keel Arasampattu, Nanjukondapuram, Naga Nadhi, Amirthi, Kattukanallur, Kathazhampattu and Padavedu in this region cultivate turmeric in vast areas.
