SYNOPSIS OF THE KALWAKURTHY L.I. & D.W. SCHEME
\!'he Kalwakurthy L.I & DW Scheme is proposed to proYidc irrigation

drinking water facility to the chronically drought affected upland areas in 1\1ahabubnaga.1·
district by lifting water from the River Krishna from the fore shores of the
Sanjiva Reddy Sagar (Srisailarn Reservoir)1
The scheme was taken up for investigation as per G.O. Ms. No. 270 I & CAD
(Irr. V) Dept, Dt. 16-6- 1984 consequent to the representation of the MLAs of
Mahabubnagar District. Subsequently. A circle with four divisions was created to take up
detailed investigation of Kalwakurthy and Nettempadu L.I Scheme as per G.O. Ms.
No. 107, I & CAD (PW- TGP-1) Dept., Dt. 25-5-1991.
Further, the Govt. in G.O. Ms No. 535, I & CAD (Irr.V) Dept, Dt. 23-12-1997
accorded administrative sanction for Rs. 50. 00 Lakhs for Detailed Investigation.
~e Scheme Envisaged to irrigate 2.5 Lakh acres at a cost of Rs 1271.crores

utilizing the 25 TMC of water by lifting from fore shore of Srisailam reservoir to height
of 245 m by feeding 22 Nos. Balancing reservoirs enroute with a power requirement of
290 Mw. The Hon'ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh laid the foundation stone on
5-7-1999 for the Phase I of the Scheme covering 50,000 acres involving 5 lifts and seven
balancing reservoirs.
During the review meeting held on 20-2-2002, in the chambers of Hon~ble
Minister for Major & Medium irrigation, it was decided to take up detailed investigation:-;
of alternative proposals with three stages of lifts using high pmver pump sets for the
ultimate 2.5 Lakh acres as per the procedure adopted in the Aiv1RP (SLBC). Accordingly
detailed investigation has been conducted a_nd detailed project report is prepared)

REPORT
3.1. INTRODUCTION:
3.1.1. AIM OF THE PRO,JECT AND DESCRIPTION OF WORKS:
3.1.1.1. Aim of the Project:
\ The aim of the project is to provide Irrigation facilities to the chronically drought
affected areas in parts of erstwhile Kollapur, Nagarkurnool, Achampet and Kalwakurthy
taluqs of Mahabubnagar district by Lift Irrigation from Krishna River to irrigate (2,50,000
Acres) 1,01,173.61 Hectares. The lift is proposed in three stages from +244.00 to 502 m.
The command area of the project is bounded by upland areas of Vanaparthy and
Mahaboobnagar on the west, Krishna river on the south, Y erragattuvagu on the extreme
east and upland areas in Achampet area, and the proposed project canal system itself
stretching accross the north. (Index plan appended). The gross command area is about
5.37 lakh acres (2.173 lakh hectares). The culturable command area is 4.2 lakh acres
excluding forest area. And the net irrlgation area is (2.5 Lakh Acres) 1,01,173.61 Ha.
The command area is greatly situated between contours +490 mts (Highest) and
+320 m (Lowest). The Krishna river flows from west to east at the southern end at +27Olll
contour i.e., back waters of Srisailam Reservoir. There is therefore no other way for
irrigating the command area in question than to lift water from Krishna river.
The area coming under this scheme is a draught stricken area. Almost all the
people are backward and below poverty line. There is no skill on which the people of this
region can depend upon for economical development except irrigation, which is at the
very poor level. There are a number of tanks in the area fed by small catchments of their
own. Variation in the rainfall and frequent failure of monsoon make the tanks dry.
Though every land under the tanks is cultivated, the production is very poor and
sometimes nil. Besides this, there is considerable cultivable ayacut in these areas already
brought under irrigation entirely depend upon rains and therefore the crop production is
not assured in most cases. In spite of this, the struggle for cultivation did not die. The
farmers are attempting paddy during Khariff season and dry crops during the Rabi season.
The reverses cultivation, never made them abstain from it and they struggle to cultivate
by changing the crop pattern to stake their fortune year after year.
The farmers of these area are agitating since a long time to provide assured water
supply to these upland areas, showing ~n Krishna River is flowing through their
district, they can't even drink water from itJlhe history goes back to the days of erstwhile
Nizam Government and Bhima Project, which is discussed in History part 3.1.9.
3.1.1.2. Description works:
the scheme envisages lifting of water from Krishna River (i.e. backwaters of
Srisailam Balancing Reservoir near Reguman gadda area of Yellur village of Kollapur
Mandal) for irrigating 2,50,000 Acres of ayacut in the chronically drought effected upland
areas in parts of erstwhile Kollapur. Nagarkurnool, Achampet and Kalwakurthy taluqs of
Mahabubnagar District.

f) Gravity canal of length 12.6 km leading to Singotarn tank, which is m
existing tank, having an off take at ·km 8.0 to irrigate an ayacut of (11,0()O
Ac) 4451.64 Hectares.
g) Gravity canal from Singotam tank to proposed Jonnala Bogada Balancirig
Reservoir of length of 6.4 Km.
h) A tunnel of 2.2 Km length leading to stage II pump house.
i) Pump House, with 4 pumps of 25 MW with a discharge capacity of 800 C/s
22.65 Cumecs each, intake gates etc., for stage II lift with delivery mains for
a length of 400 m to lift waters to 80.30 m height.
j) Jonnala Bogada balancing reservoir with a bund length of 1.8 Km having the
Capacity of 1.79 TMC at FRL + 407.00. The ayacut under the B.R. is
(15,000 Acres) 6070.42 Hectares.
k) Gravity canal from Jonnalabagoda balancing reservo1r to proposed
Gudipalligattu Balancing reservoir for a length of 9 .2 Km
1) A tunnel of length 4.8 Km leading to Stage III pump house.
m) Pump House, with 4 pumps of 25 MW with 800 C/s 22.65 Cumecs
discharge capacity, each intake gates etc., for stage III lift with delivery
mains for a length of 600 m to lift water to 102.60 m height.
n) Proposed Gudipalligattu Balancing reservoir with bund length 3.4 Km with
0.836 TMC capacity at FRL + 502.00. The ayacut in between Jonnala
Bogada and Gudipallygattu is (20,000 Acres) 8093.89 Hectares.
o) The last and final component is main canal taking off from Gudipalligattu
B.R. from km 46.60 to 200.6 to irrigate an ayacut of 1.13 Lakh Acres and
another bran~h canal on eastern side to irrigate (87000 Acres) 35,208.42 Ha.
28
The extent of irrigation, facilitated under lifts are as follow:
Energy required for the pumping is of the order of 562 million units.
Lifts Proposed Irrigation area Cumulative area

Stage I (96m) 15000 (15000 Acres) 6070.42 Hectares
II(79m) 15000 (30000 Acres) 12140.84 Hectares
Stage III( 10 I 111) 2,20,000 (2,50,000 Acres) 101173.61
The unique feature of the scheme is irrigation system is designed at stage wise.
This enables creation of partial irrigation benefits through the stage wise balancing
Reservoirs, even as the work on the scheme progresses, without having to wait for the
whole project to be completed.)
Canals - Distributory system:
The Irrigation under the project is planned under direct pumping through the
system of lifts, balancing reservoirs and gravity connecting canals. Distributary system
emerging from balancing Reservoirs feed the ayacut during the pumping period from
August to December, exception to this, an off take regulator @ 8.0 km near Kudikilla
village is proposed to irrigate (11,000 Acres) 4451.64 Hectares, on main canal from
Yellur B.R. to Singotam B.R.
Even though the ayacut come directly under Balancing Reservoirs, The B.R.s act
as buffer pools between pumping and distribution processes, thus regulate, control and
store the water and adjust any fluctuations in transmission. The stored water at the end of
December, in these Reservoirs, serve for drinking water demand from January to July.
The extent of irrigation provided under distributory system of B.R.S. is as under:
Lift I:
1) Yellur B.R. (4,000 Acres) 1618.78 Hectares

3.1.4. GENERAL CLIMATIC CONDITIONS OF THE STATE AND PROJECT

AREA IN PARTICULAR:
General climatic conditions of the state are characterized by hot summer and
generally dry condition except during the south west monsoon.
The only meteorological observatory in the district is at Mahaboobnagar. The data

of this station is taken as representative of meterological conditions in the District.
Temperature:
December and January are the coldest months with the mean maximum
temperature at about 30.0 C and mean daily minimum of 17.0 c. There after raises rather
rapidly first and steadily later till May which is the hottest month when the mean daily
maximum temperature is 40.0 C. the heat is very intense till the onset of south west
monsoon when temperature drops appreciably. The day temperatures increases in
September and October after which both day and night temperatures begins to drop.
31
Observations on Evaporation at Head Works or in the command area are not done
exclusively for the project. Pumping will be resumed in the middle of the July . During
January to July, the stored water must meet the demands of drinking water supply .
monthly evaporation losses for Kalwakurthy lift Irrigation scheme are listed below.
January 0.1016 M
February 0.1016 M
March 0.2286 M
April 0.3048 M
May 0.3048 M
June 0.2286 M
July 0.1524M
August 0.1524M
September 0.1524 M
October 0.1524 M
November 0.1016 M
December 0.1016 M
Total: 2.0824 M
Humidity:
During the south west monsoon season the relative humidities are generally
between 66 and 81 percent. After September, the air gradually becomes driver. In the
summer season which is the driest part of the year the relative humidities in the
afternoons are about 28 percent or less.
Cloudiness:
Sky is moderately clouded to overcast during the south west monsoon season
which is highly erratic in the district. There is rapid decrease in cloudiness during the post
monsoon season. During rest of the year, the sky is generally clear or lightly clouded.
Winds:
Winds:
The winds are generally light to moderate and occasionally blow the force during
the later part of summer and the monsoon season. Winds blow mostly from directions
between south west and north west in the south west monsoon season. In the post
monsoon and in the early part of winter, winds are mainly northernly or North-Westernly,
South-Easternly or Southernly winds prevail in the rest of the year.
Rainfall:
Average rainfall in the District is 684 MM. The rainfall increases from South to
North in the district. The rainfall in the Monsoon season accounts for 77 percent of the
annual rainfall. September being the month when the maximum rainfall generally occurs.
The district gets occasional spells of scanty rains in the post monsoon months also. The
year to year variation in the rainfall is very wide.
The weighted averabge rainfall in the command area during the crop period from
I st July to end of December is of the order of 684 mm. The effective rainfall is very much
less. Thus the rainfall in the area is very scanty in the project command area which is one
of the worst chronically drought affected areas in the state.
Special weather Phenomena:
Storms and depressions which originate in the Bay of Bengal in the post Monsoon
season and which move in the north=easternly direction after crossing the coastal belt
some times affect the weather in the command, as a result of which wide spread rains
occur during this period.
3.1.5. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF TOPOGRAPHY, PHYSIOGRAPHY AND

GEOLOGY OF THE AREA:
the project area lies in the Deccan plateau. Most of the area is soil covered except
for a few isolated out-crops of granite and dolerite bodies.
The area is characterized by gently rolling to steep falling and pediplain country
with a few hills, pediment and denudational hillocks and linear ridges.
3.1.6. POPULATION
a) Affected & Benefitted:
A population 3,20,500 is benefited in 16 mandals with KLI Scheme as a whole as per

200 l census. Certain areas of land s are corning under the submergence three balancing
reservoirs with out affecting any villages
The area has low population des it) , )f about 190 persons per Sq.KM as per 2001
census, 95% of the population live in rural area. The population in the command area will
be benefited by th is project.
b) Occupation:
Agriculture is the main stay of the rural population in the area. In the command
area (C.C.A) the agriculture is by rain fed cultivation. When the rain fails, which is very
comman in this area, even this occupation is denied to the population due to this
migrating to other places for lively hood.
3.1.7. NATURAL RESOURCES:
There are no industries in the command area of the project. There are no, known
mineral deposits in the area. The peo'ple entirely depend on agriculture. The natural
resources in the area are mostly tanks and kuntas which are fed by small streams
depending mainly on the scanty and erratic rainfall in the command area.
3.1.8. LAND USE AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASPECTS:
The entire area is backward and under developed and is subject to recurring
drought. The areas is one of the hard core chronically drought effected areas of the state.
The land in the command area is mostly barren, with a few packets of irrigation under
rainfall conditions. Under rainfall conditions, Jowar, Groundnut and Pulses are grown
generally. Failure of crops is a recurring phenomenon in the area. The socio Econo~ic
condition of the population, in general in the area is far below the poverty line. Provision
of assured irrigation facilities in the area through this project would go a long way to
develop the socio economic level of the local people and bring the prosperity to the
people in the project command area in particular and also of the District in general.
3.1.9. HISTORY:
1) Genesis and evaluation of the Scheme:
The entire Mahaboobnagar District is drought effective although the entire District
lies in Krishna Basin, the existing Irrigation facilities in the District are mostly confined
to minor Irrigation, a few medium schemes and Major Schemes namely Rajolibanda
Diversion Scheme and Jurala Project. The total cultivable area in the district is 33.14
Lacks acres (13.41 Lakh Hectors) the potential created leaving a large area still left
without irrigation facilities in the district. There have been persistent and pressing
demands from the people of the District for providing further irrigation facilities.
The proposed J urala Irrigation project across River Krishna, for which only 17 .84
TMC of water had been allocated by the Krishna water disputes Tribunal, will benefit
only 1.02 lakh acres (41,278 Hectares) in the District.
The erstwhile Hyderabad state contemplated the construction of Bhima Reservoir

project at Tangadi village in gulbarga district for irrigating about 7 lakh acres in Gulbarga
and Mahaboobnagar District. But consequent to the re-organisation of the states in 1956~
most of the Gulbarga District along with Tangadi site got transferred to Karnatake state.
Kodangal taluqs of Gulbarga district and Gadwal and Alampur taluqs of Raichor District
were annexed to ahaboobnagar District of Andhra Pradesh. After the states re-
organisation, the govt. of Karnataka restricted the scope of their Bhima project to irrigate
area within its own territ0ry without extending the benefits to Andhra Pradesh. The state
of Andhra Pradesh put forth a demand of l 05.78 TMC before the Krishna water Disputes
Tribunal to irrigate 4 lakh acres in the Makthal, Atmakur, cwanaparthy and Kollapur
taluqs originally contemplated by the erstwhile Hyderabad state and to take up the project
as a joint venture between the two states, retaining the site of Head Works at Tangadi
(vg.) in Karnataka state and extending te canal to Mahaboobnagar District for irrigating
areas in Andhrapradesh. But the state of Karnataka did not agree to the proposals.
Subsequently, the state of Karnataka has shifted their project site on Bhima River,
from Tangadi to sonthi in Karnataka benefiting areas in Kamataka state only. F:resh
moves have been made by the state or Andhra Pradesh with Karnataka state to have the
project as a joint venture to serve areas in both the states. A meeti,!:!ghad been held at
Bangalore on 2-6-1982 between the officials of the two states in connection with the
utilization of Bhima River water from the proposed project site at Sonthi in Karnataka
state .It was recorded in the proceedings of the meeting that the --draw-off by Andhra
Pradesh was to be from about 40 th mile of the left Bank canal of Karnataka project and
the initial length of 40 miles was to be a common canal. After crossing the State Border,
this canal would empty into a Balancing reservoir across Peddavagu near Makthal town
in Andhra Pradesh. From this reservoir, canals were to take off from its left and right
flanks to irrigate the upland areas above te left bank canal of Jurala Project to an extent of
2 lakh acres. It had been decided during the Bangaloe meeting to exchange the basic
information regarding the Karnataka Project as well as that of Andhra Pradesh for mutual
examination. The Govt. of Andhra Prades have requested the Government of Karnataka
to furnish a copy of te Bhima Project Report as sent to C. W.C, Govt. of India by the
Govt. of Karnataka, for study. But the same has not been furnished by the government of
Karnataka, inspite of repeated requests.
The Bhima project of Karnataka state is said to be diversion project to irrigate a
small area, where as the joint project would have been a bigger one involving large
submergence in Karnataka state. In view of this, the joint project proposal did not find
favour with Karnataka State.
The Government of Andhra Pradesh in Go MS No. 535 date 23.12.1997 therefore
ordered for investigation of Kalwakurtfiy liftlrngat:Tori"Sa1ehie Within Andhra Pradesh
territory to irrigate about 2.50 lakh Acres to benefit Kollapur Nagarkurnool, Achampet
and Kalwakurthy taluqs in Mahaboobnagar Distrct besides Jurala Project and Bhima lift
Irrigation Scheme.

Inter State/ international aspects.
The scheme envisages to utilize surplus water of the river Krishna. As such no
other scheme protected or allocated by KWDT is not effected.
3.1.12. COST AND BENEFITS OF THE SCHEMES:

The cost of the project is Rs. 1766 crores and the Annual benefits are Rs.372.97 crores.
3.1.13 PUBLIC CO-OPRATION AND PARTICIPATION:
The public in the area are very anxious to have this scheme immediately
completed and they are prepared to extend their full co-operation for the realization of the
Project and participate actively in its execution.
3.1.14. PUBLIC VIEW ON BENEFITS AND PROPOSED LEVIES:
The public and the people's representatives are very keen about the project being
put on ground at the earliest to mitigate the hardships entitled by the recurring drought in
the area. There have been persistent demands from the public who are eagerly looking
forward to the execution of the project at the earliest. The levies proposed in the project
Report are a3 per the standing rates in vogue in the state and no new levies are proposed.
There is, therefore, no scope for any objections from the public beneficiaries for the levies
proposed under the project.
3.2. Physical features:
3.2.1. Geographical disposition:
The Krishna basin lies between latitude 13°-7'-0" and 19°-20' -0" N, and
longitudes 73°-22'-0" E and 81°-10·-o" E. It is roughly triangular in shape with its base
along the vvestern Ghats and Apex at Vijayawada. The basin extends over an area of
99,980 sq.miles, which is nearly 8% of the geographical area of India, covering the
drainage areas in the states of Maharastra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
3.2. Physical features:
3.2.1. Geographical disposition:
The Krishna basin lies between latitude 13°-7'-0" and 19°-20'-0" N, a11d
longitudes -0'' E and 81 °- l cr-o·' E. It is roughly triangular in shape with its base
along the western Ghats and Apex at Vijayawada. The basin extends over an area of
99,980 sq.miles, which is nearly 8% of the geographical area of India, covering tlle
drainage areas in the states of Maharastra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
The western ghats provide a continuous watershed on the west. On North, the
Balaghat and the Mahadev ranges separate the Krishna basin from the Godavari basin. On
the Eastern side, lie the broken ranges of the eastern Ghats. On the south, Uravakonda a11d
the Mittakandala ridges separate Krishna Basin from the Pennar Basin.
The project areas itself is entirely situated in Krishna basin (lower Krishna) a11d
lies between latitude 16°0' N and 16°46'N and longitudes 78°13' E and 78°46'E.
3.2.2. TOPOGRAPHY OF THE BASIN, RESERVOII{ AND THE COMMANI)

AREA:
Interior of the basin is. a plateau, dividing into a series of villages sloping
generally towards the east. Belts of the country adjoining the western Ghats in the upper
Krishna, the upper Bhima, the Ghataphabbha, the Malaphabha, and the Tungabhadra sub-
basins consist of undulating plains and broad flat valleys, interspersed by isolated ridges
and quaint rocky out-crops of hills. On the eastern side Ii~ the lower Krishna, the Musi,
the paleru and the Munneru sub-basins· comprising the coastal plains, the Eastern ghats
and series of valleys, partly covered by hills and dense forests.
The command area of the project is mainly undulating. The area generally slopes
down in the direction from North to South, interspersed by small local minor ridges a11d
drains into the Krishna river in the South, flowing generally from west to East/South-
East.
3.2.3 GEOLOGY OF THE BASIN, RESERVOIR AND COMMAND AREAS: 0
The Krishna River basin lies in the Indian Peninsula, which remained a stable land
mark. The oldest known geological formations are the dharwars intruded by basic rocks.
Later, these rocks were subjected to intense earth movements and have undergone
metamorphism coupled with large scale invasion of granite magma which by
metamorphism assumed gneissic structure at places. These granites and gneisses
subsequently intruded by dykes of dolomites and veins of pegmatite and quartz.
After a gap of about 500 million years, inland basins, wherein, sand stones, shares,
lime stones and dolomites were deposited, were formed. These basins were further
affected by uplifts caused by igneous activity and earth movement which folded and
faulted the sedimentary basin.

3.2.4. RIVER SYSTEM AND BASIN CHARACTERISTICS:
The Krishna River is the 2 nd largest River in Peninsular India, and stands third in India
after the Ganga and Godavari. It rises in the Mahadev range of the Western Ghats near
rv1ahabakshwar, at an altitude of 133 7 meters (4385 feet) above mean see level, near
about 18'' N Latitude and 74° Cast Longitude. Rising in the Ghats near Area been see, the
Krishna River flows through Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, gathering
waters on its way and drops into Bay of Bengal finally. From its source, the Krishna
speeds Southwards through the Districts of Satara, Sangli and Kollapur to Maharashtra.
At about mile 190, the Krishna is joined by Dughganga on the right bank. At this point
and at an attitude of about 533 meters (1750 feet), the Krishna enters Kamataka. Here the
River leaves the heavy rainfall zone and turns east. In the run of 186 miles within
Maharashtra, the bed fall is 14 feet per mile, the fall upto mile 85 being steeper, at a rate
of 22 feet per mile. The junction of Malaprabha is between Almatti and Narayanpur, the
dam site of upper Krishna Project. In the run of 300 miles within Kamataka, the bed fall
is about 2 feet per mile.
After the confluence of the Shima, the Krishna forms the common boundary of
Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh states for 26 miles (enter through Mahabubnagar District
in Andhra Pradesh) and thereafter, the River flows entirely through Andhra Pradesh for
the rest of its length, before -joining the see (Bay of Bengal), on the east coast of Andhra
Pradesh on Krishna District.
A short distance below its confluence with the Tungabhadra River, the Krishna
enters a deep gorge, 180 miles long in North Easternly direction in deep rocky channel
with a rapid fali through the spurs of Nallamalai range and other hills past Srisailam
Reservoir and Nagarjunasagar Reservoir before emerging into the planes of Coromandal
Coast, at a point, 750 miles from the source, the River flows through a gap, ¾ of a mile
wide, between low hills. Beyond, this point, stretching away on both sides of the river,
lies a wide alluvial plane, known as the Krishna Delta. In run of the river is 3 feet per
mile.
Floods occur in the river during the monsoon period. In the highest known flood
on ih October, 1903, the recorded discharge at Vijayawada was 10,60,880 cusecs.
During dry western the discharge falls down to as low as 100 cusecs.
The district features of the greater part of the river are low water levels during dry
weather narrow and rocky bed great flood lift, some times as much as 100 feet. The major
tributaries join the river in the upper two thirds of its length.
The river Shima and Tungabhadra, tributaries of the Krishna are themselves major
inter state rivers.
Rainfall is only source of all waters within the Krishna Basin. The major part of
the rain fol I is received from the South-West Monsoon.
The South-West monsoon com1i1ences in the Kerala District coast towards the
be-ginning of June. The Southwest monsoon, extending from June to September,
contributes about 73% of the annual rainfall of the Krishna Basin. The months of June
and July are crucial for Khariff crops. The normal date of onset of monsoon ends in
th
Krishna Basin between 1st October and 15 November. During the months of October
and November. cyclonic storms from Bay of Bengal brings heavy rains to coromandal
During the period October and December, about 17% of the Normal rainfall of the
Krishna Basin is received, Krishna river entirely rain fed. There is no snow in the
mountains to sustain them. During the dry weather, the flows in the river ands its major
tributaries are very low but are not completely dry, as the river is fed by underground
sprmgs.
The Krishna Basin has a monsoon tropical climate. The mean annual temperature
of the basin varies from 24° C in the Western Ghats to 29° C in the Eastern Ghats.
Except during the rain season, humidity is low in most of parts of the basin. Again
in most parts of the basin, because of high temperature and low humidity, evaporation
from a free water surface, such as river channels, canals, and Reservoirs, is very High.
The highest annual potential evaporation is as high as 3,800 MM in upper Bhima.
Except during the monsoon season, the normal potential evaporation during the
other part of the year is in excess of the normal rainfall.
Equally high is the Evapo-transpiration, that is, the quantity of water transpirated
by plants and that evaporated from soils. The annual potential evapotranspiration from an
extensive vegetative cover, id an unlimited supply of water were available, ranges from
1,600 MM to 1,800 MM, in Krishna Basin. In some parts it exceeds 1,800 MM. This
gives a fair idea of the need of the plants. In most parts of the Basin, except during
monsoon season, the monthly precipitation is less than the monthly potential evapo-
trnspiration and thus there
3.3. INTER STATE/INTERNATIONAL ASPECTS OF THE RIVER:
The scheme envisages to utilize surplus water of the river Krishna. As such no other
scheme protected or allocated by KWDT is effected.

3.4. Surveys and Investigation:
3.4.1. Topographical Surveys:
3.4.1.1 Reservoir:
There is no reservoir or any other structure proposed across the main Krishna
River under the project, as this is a lift irrigation project. There are however :i
4 Balancing Reservoirs receiving waters from main canal to irrigate under their
respective commands.
3.4.1.2 Head Works:
The components of head works are explained in para 3 .1.1.2 Necessary

topographical surveys for all these components have been done, as per guide lines

3.4.1.4 Canals and water conductor system and canal structures:
Necessary detailed surveys, for the alignments of all the canals of the project,
including alternatives, have been carried out. The levelling for the longitudinal
section of canals has been done at 25 m intervals. Cross - sectional levels ar(
taken at 25 m intervals. The cross sections themselves are taken at an interval o!
100 m along the canals alignment.
3.4.1.5 Command area (Detailed and Sample):
No Block command surveys have been done.
3.4.1.6 Soil Conservation:
The Balancing Reservoirs, proposed in the Scheme are very small having verr
small catchment.. The rate of sedimentation observed in the existing BRs (do not
warrant soil conservation measures on any appreciable scale).
3.4.2 Other Surveys:
3.4.2.1 Archeological Surveys in the Reservoir area:
There are no Archeologically important places.
3.4.2.2 Mineral (useful and Harmful) Surveys in the catchment, Reservoir are2s:
There are no reported mineral deposits in the submergence area and commalld
area.
3.4.2.3 Right of way surveys for the Reservoirs:
The command area is well connected with village roads.
No village will come under submergence. The road from Y ellur to

Mulachintapally will come under s~bmergence and new surveys will be taken up
during execution. However suitable provision is made in the project estimate
under the Sub-Head 'W land for this purpose.
3.4.2.4 Communication Surveys:
i) Roads
Already the command area is well connected by a net work of Roads already
existing. No railway lines are existing in the area. Bridges are provided at the
locations where canal crosses the roads.
ii) Telephone lines, wireless etc:
There is telephone facility to all the Mandals. A good number of villages in the
command area are provided with post offices and facility of public telephone call
offices are being provided.
All the head works, canal system, camp colonies, Electrical Sub-Stations in the
project area etc. will be connected by a network of Telephone systems and als<J
wireless equipment. Necessary provision for this item is made under the Sub-
Head "0- Miscellaneous".
iii) Transmission lines:
Although there are electrical transmission lines in and around the command area,
separate High Tension lines are required to be laid specially for feeding power to
the pump houses of the project where High head, heavy duty electrical pump sets
are to be installed so as to eliminate losses and voltage problems. The project
requires 300 Mega Watt of Power for operating the pumps, this power is proposed
to tap from 220 KV Substation @ Wanaparthy of Mahabubnagar District.
3.4.2.5 Drainage surveys:
The command area is well drained generally with a natural slope, being upland
area. The area generally slopes towards the Krishna River valley and drains into
it, through local vagus and minor streams. Serious drainage problems are not
anticipated in the command area.
However, provision at the rate of Rs. 247/- per Hectare of CCA towards drainage
system in the command area has been made in the project estimate under the Sub-
Head "W - Drainage under unit - II canals.
3.4.2.6 Soil Survevs:

The soil surveys in the command area are yet to be conducted. However the soils
in the command area are suitable for the proposed crops.
3.4.3 Geology, geo-technical Features and Seism city:
3.4.3.1 Geologv, gco-technical Features:
a) Regional Geology, Geomorphology structure and Tectonics of the project

area and its vicinity:- (vidc Bhima Project Report)
Being lift Irrigation scheme. In the project area there 1s no major structure
proposed, only minor balancing reservoir is proposed which may not induce any
changes in sub terrain geological formations. Moreso, this area of the project is
lying in seismic zone no.I (Deccan plateau). In view of that no separate survey5
of seismicity have been taken up. The area is characterized by gently rolling,
undulating pediplain country with a few residuary hills, pediments an~
denudational hills and linear ridges.
The project area is lying adjoining to the project area of the Bhima Lift Irrigation
Scheme. The report of regional geology given by GST given the general idea of
the geology of the region under consideration.
The once is characterized by gently rolling, undulating pediplain country with a
few residuary hills, pediments and denudational hills and linear ridges.
The capacities of the proposed Reservoirs are very less and the height of
impoundment is also not much. The balancing Reservoirs are proposed to be
developed from the Existing small kuntas. No major faults of any significant
nature are reported at the areas land and no earth quake shakes were felt by tile
people. As such lands may not be any reservoir induced schistose due to///.
3.4.3.2 . Seismicity:
No historical earthquake has been reported with epicenter located in this area.
3.4.4.1 . Sand:
The sand for Head works & canals for the Reach from Regumanugadda to
Singotam is available at Yerragattuvagu and for the reach from Singotam to tail end, is
proposed to obtain from Dindivagu.
3.4.5.3 Rock and aggregates:
Rock and are available in the local quarries 111 required quantities for
head works and canals. The quarries have been identified and their locations together with
leads from sources to the sites of works are shown in the quarry map.
3.4.4.3 . Bricks :
Bricks are required for residential and non-residential buildings which are readily
available from the local kilns.
3.4.4.4 . Cement and Steel :
Cement and steel are proposed to be procured from Kollapur, Nagarkurnool and
Kalwakurthy on order suitable stock yards will be proposed near work site.
3.4.4.5 . Any other materials :
The project requires High head duty pumps and motors of indigenous
manufacturers which can be procured on order from leading and reputed pump
manufacturers in the country. Presently proposals are brought from AP Genco, whose
estimate is appended.
There is a good net work of Road system in project areas right from rail head for
easy transportation.
Hydrological and Meteorological Investigation :
This is a lift irrigation project, and it is called as diversion project with subsidiary
pondages at higher levels without a barrier across the river. This project can be classified,
by its use. as an "Irrigation Project"
3.4.5.1 Hydrological data :
Acchampet, Kalwakurthy and Devarakonda of Nalgonda district, Kollapur and

Nagarkurnool Rainguage stations of Mahabubnagar District influence the rainfall in the
command area.
(,
Monthly rainfall particulars are collected from these Raingauage stations, for 40 years
period.
Run-off studies m respective Catchment areas of Balancing Reservoirs ts not

required because these are existing M.I. tanks with meager catchments.
_3.4.6.2. Meteorological data :
The Meteorological data is required for assessing crop water requirements. This
crop water requirements based on the earlier ETO calculations done in connection with
the Bhima L.I project are used.
3.5 Hydrology :
The project is planned with the surplus waters of river Krishna available at NSRS
Reservoir(Srisailam reservoir).
3.5.1.Simulation and performance testing of alternative plans.
3.5.1.1 & 3.5.1.2. Details of the system configuration for each alternative tested ancl
period of Simulation and operational policies used:
There is no reservoir proposed on main Krishna River. This being a lift irrigation
Scheme, the inflows into the proposed Balancing Reservoirs of the canal system of the
project, are all controllable pump flows. The inflows from the selfcatchments of the
Balancing Reservoirs are very insignificant, compared to the pumped quantities which
constitute the bulk of the inflows ( as much as 98% ). The crop demand being constant,
continuous working table for the balancing Reservoirs and overall scheme for 2,50,000
acres, month wise demand is prepared and Evaporational losses for the Balancing
Reservoirs are also calculated.
The operational policy is already explained in 3.1.1.2. Adding to that, the other
features of the scheme are
l) Pumping is planned from I st August to 31 st December, with 24 hr pumping
day. But irrigation is planned from l st july to 31 st December. Water stored at e
end of December in the last year is utilised for drinking water in the months froni
January to July.
2) Water is released to the distributories from Balancing Reservoirs for 24 hrs. Fr~rn
August to December.
3) The storages in the Balancing Reservoirs are so planned that they accomo-0c1.te
evaporation losses and drinking water demand from January to July.
4) Pumping from August to December is planned so that it meet.
a) Crop water demand August to December and
b) Drinking water demand from August to December.
c) Evaporational losses from August to December.
d) Full storage at the end of December to utilise for next year)
The simulation studies for balancing Reservoirs and lifts, including power calculaforis
and energy requirements are appended.
3.5.1.3. DEMANDS, THEIR TIME DISTRIBUTION AND JUSTIFICATION IN
THE LIGHT OF EXISTING AND PROPOSED. UTILISATION OF THE
SYSTEM:
The entire ayacut 2,50,000 Acres ofKLI Scheme is a new ayacut.
The annual irrigation demand, the drinking water supply to villages and towns and
the evaporation losses in the Balancing Reservoirs put together worked out to 25 tmc.
3.5.2. EFFECT OF PROJECT DEVELOPMENT ON HYDROLOGIC REGIME
Changes in Hydrologic Regime.
The pumping is proposed during and after monsoon period from August to
December when there will be flood peaks. There will not, therefore, be any
appreciable quantitative changes in-the river flows due to pumping.
Since there is no reservoir proposed on the main Krishna River, there is no change
in the water surface and as such there is no consequent increase in evaporation
losses.
3.6. DESIGN FEATURES AND CRITERIA FOR DIFFERENT RIVER VALLE\'
STRUCTURES:
Report on the design of various major components of the project is furnished under
volume II.
3.6.1. Structures and lay out:
a) Head works, its site and vicinity:

There is no structure built across Krishna River•. The location of the pump hous(
of Lift I is on its banks of Krishna River on fore shore of Srisailam Reservoir , at
Reguman Gadda area ofKollapur Mandal.
b) Reasons for choice of the lay-out of the project:

The alternative studies are carried for various components of the project and final
choice of the project is outlined.
The layout of the project is designed based on the Alemineti Madhava Reddy' s
project in Nalgonda District. which is successfully functioning.
c) Type of structure:
Balancing Reservoirs are proposed to be formed in upland areas using Earthem
bunds.
d) Layout of the canal alignment etc.

The irrigation canals connecting series of Balancing Reservoirs are all contour
canals.The distributories are all generally ridge canals.
3.6.1.2. Geology, Seismicity and Foundation in Brief:
a) Geology of the entire Pro_icct at Once:

The project area is occupied by r,~:tgnetite's and gravitoides order belonging to peninsular
gneissic complex with disconnected narrow bands of Dharwar super Group. They are
intruded by dolerites, dykes and pegmatite's and quarty reefs. The migmatitic are
represented by biotitic / hornblende granite and schistose rock represented by
amphibolites (schistosc and massive). Chlorite schist, quertz sericit schist and
quartzite. These are replaced by alkali feldspar gravite.
As the proposed B.Rs of this scheme are existing M.l. tanks and the capacity is
also very small, no separate geo-technical studies for seismicity and foundation are
proposed. The (geology for Bhima Lift Irrigation Project holds good for the site of KLI
Scheme also, as they are laid in the near vicinity to each other.
b) Geo-technical evaluation of Major components of Head \vorks:

- Soil surveys are being taken up on all B.R. of the project along dam line.
c) Log of Bore / Drill holes, pits drifts, geophysical data etc.
Log of Bores are prepared and submitted to APERL for taking up Soil tests in
case of Yelluru B.R. and the core drilling work is in progress in respect of
other BRs.
d) Evaluation of foundation and abutments and other major components for
treatment:
The designs will be done based on report of APERL regarding type of soil and
soil strata.
3.6.1.3. Alternative studies carried out for sites and type of structures / Dam
appertenants and alignment of canal system:
Different alternative studies are made for scheme and surveys are conducted. The
present proposal is made in line with Alimineti Madhava Reddy' s L.I. Project in
Nalgonda District, using high Head & High capacity pumps.
3.6.1.4. Choice of Final Lay - out of all major componenets of the project and
reason<;S - details:
The choice of final layout of all major components of the project has already
been discussed in para 3.1.1.2.

3.6.2. Head works (Pumping system, Balancing Reservoirs and Feeder Channel)
3.6.3.1 Description of Canal System including Ridge / Contour Lift / Canal Capacity
and considerations for fixing alignments etc:
The description of Canal System has already been given under para 3 .1.1. All
the irrigation canals under the project take-off from balancing Reservoirs into
which water is pumped. The alignment of the canals has been fixed as falling
sill, keeping in view the ayacut to be commanded and economy is general. The
canals are generally aligned as contour canals with one side irrigation.
3.6.3.2 Study of integrated network of canal system and its operation to utilise the
water potential of streams crossed by the main canal system by provision of
storages, tail tank etc.
The project area is chronically drought affected with highly scanty rainfall. The
small available small quantity of water is already tapped by the existing MI
tanks across them. As such there is no water potential worth mention in these
streams for being utilised by the project. Hence no storage, other than -the 4
B.Rs are proposed under the project which have already been discussed under
para 3.1.1.
3.6.3.3 Description of the soil profile along the Canal alignment, based on the pit I
auger holes:
The soils along the alignment of the canals are generally gravelly type. Othe:r
like block cotton and loamy soils are also met here and there along the
alignment.
3.6.3.4 Evaluation of design parameters based on the samples collected along the
Canal alignment, Borrow area and suggested treatment for problematic
regions:
The canal generally follow contours and are generally under balanced depth of
cutting, and banking in valley reaches. The soil for banking can be obtained
locally, which is suitable for forming the embankment. However, laboratory
tests for soils of embankment will be conducted for their suitability during
execution. There are nq serious problematic reaches in the canal system.
3.6.3.5 Canal Lining :
Canals are designed as unlined sections.
3.6.3.6 . Transmission losses assumed for lined / Unlined channel with justification
(cusecs / Million Sq.m):
A conveyance. efficiency of 65% is taken into consideration in the conductor
system, The main canal distributories, minors, sub minors and field channels are
un lined for the purpose of project planning. The field application efficiency is
considered as 75%.
3.6.3. 7 Cut-off statement showing the details of the discharge required from tail to
Head considering the irrigation requirement and transmission losses:

a) Manning's formula: 1/n. R213 .S is used to arrive velocity. Where the value of
'n' is 0.0225 for unlined canals and 0.0215 for deepcut canals in H.R and the
bed slope is from 1/10,000 to 1/7000 depending on the reach and topography.
b) Design of canal sides in various reaches, slope:
The inner side slopes ofthe canal in the water prism portion are proposed
2
as 11/ Horizontal to I vertical in all cases to suit the local soils except in rocks. In
114
the case of canal running in the rock cutting the side slopes of :I in hard r~I<.
are proposed.
c) Velocities allowed:
The Velocities allowed are less than 1.0 m/sec being unlined canals.
d) Full supply depth and free board:
The statement of reach wise Hydraulic Particulars for each of lifts,
Balancing, Reservoirs and feeder channel is append. A free board of
0.90m is to be provided above the F.S.L upto top of the bank.
3.6.3.8 Design discharge data for each distributory:
The provision for distributory system is made as per cost per hectare based ()n
the neighboring Projects in the district, pending detailed designs .
3.6.4.10 . Canal operation and creteria for fixing the level of out lets/off taki11g
channels:
Each canal has a head regulator at the take-off from the respective Balancing
Reservoirs. For Feeder Channels in Head works systems, no cross regulators are
designed. In distributory channels, cross regulators are to be proposed at the end of each
reach of the canal, for maintaining the full supply levels in the canals. The reaches in the
canals are to be conveniently divided depending upon the variation in the discharges. The
position of the cross regulator at the end of each reach is generally fixed below the last
major off take point if the reach. The outlets in the main canal for off take channels are
suitably located keeping in view the ayacut to be commanded, after detailed surveys of
the command.
3.6.4 Canal Structures:

Typical drawings for different canal structures are provided.
3.6.5 Instrumentation:
It is proposed to install necessary instruments m all the structurei as
indicated below.
a) For the Earth dam of Balancing Reservoir:

(i) Hydraulic twin tubes piezo-meters.
(ii) Construction of terminal well and providing pore presnre,
measuring arrangements in the terminal well.
(iii) Installation of cross arm type vertical movement devices.
(iv)Installation of crest and surface of embankments.
b) In pump houses:
All the necessary instrumentation/equipment required for smooth functioning
of pumps/ motors as specified by the manufacturer will be provided.
3.7 Resen1oirs:
As already discussed in the earlier paras there are four Balancing Reservoirs
proposed under the project.
The ayacut under the Balancing Reservoirs is directly fed under pumping
during crop period from August to December. The storage in B.R.S. is kept as to
meet the drinking water demand and evaporation losses during the period from
January to July.
Fixation of storage and Reservoirs levels;
Approach - Criteria:
The Capacities of Balancing Reservoirs are fixed keeping in view the evaporation
losses, and drinking water requirements as already explained in para 3.5.2.2.
The details of storage and Reservoir levels, for each of the Balancing Reservoirs are
as shown below.
As already stated, the requirements Mcft under each BRs are:
Balancing Reservoir F.R.L. Gross Storage in TMC
Yelluru +338.00 0.32
l
S ingotam( existing) +333.80 0.55
Jonnala Boguda +407.00 1.79
Gudipally Gattu +502.00 0.84
TOTAL 3.50
3.7.1.5. Maximum Back Water level at Full Reservoir level, and its effect, points
to which back water effect is felt maximum distance of such points from
the axis of the structures:
As the reservoirs are not formed across streams of considerable flow but
simply stored reservoirs of pumped water, the effect of change in water levels
in the stream due to flow of water on u/s can be neglected.
3.7.1.6. FETCH:
The fetches in the balancing reservoir vary from 1.0 to 2.0 Km and these are
comparatively small for considering back water levels. Back water level is
not a problem in these B.R.s as the self catchments are small and streams
across which these GRs are proposed are meager discharge in.
3.7.1.7. Direction of wind velocity, wind wave height - free board - top of dam;
(i) Direction of wind: All the four balancing reservoirs are in Mehabub
Nagar District only and the general wind direction in the district is as below:
a) S-W and N-E during mason period.
b) North and N-W in post monsoon and in the early part of winter.
c) South in the rest of the period.
(ii)Velocity wind: The velocity of wind in the district ranges from 1,602
feet/sec minimum to 3.47 feet/sec maximum.
Free board in all BRS is kept as 3.0 Mts.
3. 7 .2 Sedimentation data and studies :

As these are small balancing reservoirs fed with pump water and having
small catchments, the sedimentation is not a problem and no studies have been
conducted.
-53-
3. 7 .3 Life of Reservoir in years with basin:
As this is a major irrigation project th life all the reservoirs in considerecl
as 100 years.
3.7.4 Capacities:
The capacities of B.R.S is discussed separately in Hydraulic particulars ofB.R.S.
In respect of the balancing reservoirs no sedimentation studies were made being
small reservoirs with very small catchments. Hence capacity after 50 years of life is noi
worked out in respect of these B.Rs.
3.7.4.2 Storage:
This part is discussed in Hydraulic particulars of balancing reservoir. For all tht
form Balancing Reservoirs working tables considering the inflows and utilisations
every month round the year are prepared and appended
3.7.4.3 . Water tightness of the reservoir:
All the reservoirs are located on gravity terrain as these reservoir areas are small
and located in pedi plain country, no topographic gaps may be noticed. However
if any topographic gaps are detected during execution they will be treated by
providing positive cut off and with suitable grouting pattern.
In respect of all the Balancing Reservoirs the positive cut off is taken down to 1 M
below in previous state
3.7.4.4 Annual Losses:

Evaporation losses are discussed in hydraulic particulars of B.R.s.
3.7.4.5 Flood absorption

As these are fed by pumped water. flood absorption case does not arise in th is
case.
3.7.5 Effect on Sub-soil Water Table in the adjoining areas particularly doV'\'111
stream of Dam:
There will be change in general ground water level of the area.

As already discussed in para 3. 7.4.3 the permeability of the sub-soil strata is
very low and in view of the position of positive cut-off, consolidation. Grouting
by which the seepage to down stream of the reservoir is checked in therefore
expected to be very insignificant or nil.
3. 7 .6 Reservoir rim stability:

As may be seen from the drawings, rough stone revetment is proposed
upto T.B.L on Upstream side of the earth dam in respect of all the B.Rs to safe
guard the slopes.
3.7.7 Area of submergence.

3.7.7 Land Acquisition - property submerged - Rehabilitation

3.9.1 Command area:
3.9.1.1 Command area details;
The Project command area lies in parts of Kollapur, Nagar Kurnool, and
Achampet & Kalwakurthi areas covering 16 mandals List of Mandals is appended.
3.9.1.2 Climate of the Command
The annual weighted average rainfall is worked out to 684 mm. The mean monthly
effective R.F. based on 75 mm depth of application are computed from table 8 page 26 of
F AO - 25 (Statement - 4) for each crop one assessed. The maximum temperature is 40°c.
minimum 16°c average is 28°c. The maximum humidity is 81 % minimum 28% and
average is 54.5%.
3.9.1.3 Irrigation:
(a) Present sources of irrigations:·
The present irrigation in the command area is mostly rain fed irrigation and
isolated patches of irrigation under existing small tanks and wells.
(b) Methods of Irrigation follO\ved:
Since most of the area is under rain fed conditions, the conventional annual
irrigation methods assisted by bullock power and plough are followed.
(c) Status of land Development for irrigated areas:
59
Most of the present irrigation in the command area is dry farming under rain fed
conditions left to the vagaries of nature. Therefore presently no systematic land
development is existing in the projeot command area. Provision is made in the
project estimate for the land development.
3. 9.1.4 Socio Economic aspect:
The socio-economic condition of the people will be improved by the

implementation of scheme.
(a) Population, Major occupations, Income. Etc.,
The total population in the command area is of the order of 3,20,500. The
main occupation and stay of the populations is Agriculture. The people in the
area are mostly agriculture labour whose income is much below poverty line.
(b) Classification of farmers:
The marginal and small farmers constitute the majority, while the medium and
big farmers constitute a minor percentage.
(c) Availability of agriculture labour and wage:
Given the facilities for irrigation there is no dearth of agricultural labour in the
area. The present wage range is very low due to which the labour is getting
migrated.
3.9.1.5 Infrastructure facilities
Infrastructure facilities are well developed regarding communication, marketing

and agro industries in the command area of the project.
3.9.2 Topography and Soil:
The command area of the project is generally between contours + 320 M to + 493
M and country is generally undulating falling towards Krishna basin.
3.9.2.2. Soils:
The Soil in the command in generally red soils and few pocket of black soil in
valley areas, which are suitable for the proposed crops.
3.9.3 Ground water and Drainage:
The command area is completely upland area. The rainfall in the area is scanty
and erratic. The ground water naturally fall be below the surface and is also not
available for being tapped for irrigation on appreciable scale. Drainage is not a
problem in project area because it has a good natural slope towards the Krishna
River valley.
3.9.4 Agriculture:
3.9.4.1 Present Land Use:

The present land use is mainly rain fed cultivation.
3.9.4.2 Cropping pattern followed:
Rain fed crop in the command area is generally Jowar, barring few pockets of
paddy cultivation in valley area under tanks. The average yields of rain fed Jowar
crop is of the order of 3 quintals per hectare, which is far below the normal yield.
3.9.4.3 Agricultural Practices adopted:
Farmers are practicing age-old methods of irrigation.
3.9.4.4 Farmers Attitude
Farmers are favorably inclin~d towards improved agricultural practices, given the
necessary assured irrigation facilities and financial assistance.
3.9.4.5 Identification of problems in the co_mmand area.

3.9.4.5.1 Physical problems:
No serious water logging and drainage problems are anticipated in the command
area.
3.9.4.5.2 Financial problems:

At present the area is under developed with the general socio-economic conditio11s
being very much below poverty line. Once assured irrigation facilities are
provided to the farmers through the present project the living and socio-economic
condition of the population will greatly improve under the pest project condition.
3.9.5 Land development works:
3.9.5.1 Details ofland development works:

a) Land Levelling:-
Land leveling for irrigation and drainage involves grading the land surface to
provide suitable surface for efficient application of Irrigation water and to
facilitate quick removal of excess water.
Criteria for land levelling is influenced by the method of irrigation, slope depth,
and the crops to be grown. The range of the slope of grade of the plot may vary
from 0.1 to 0.5 percent depending upon the type of soil. The grade and length for
different soils are generally as follows:
SI.No. Soil Type Longitudinal slope Border Lengths meters.
(percentage)
I. Heavy soils (Clay soils) 0.1 to .25 150 to 250
2. Medium soils (laomy sois) 0.15 to .40 90 to 150.
3. Light s~ndy soils · 0.20 to .60 60 to 90
As the pipe area is localized as Irrigation dry, a grade of 0.2 percent to 0.50
percent will be provided depending upon the type of soil.
Normally, 50% of total area required land shaping~ out of which, most of the area
would be developed by the farmers themselves by manual labour and bullock
drawn implements. How ever in the case of steep slopes machinery may have to
employ for economy.
The state has a separate command Area development department, which i5

responsible for systematic land development works. This work has to be taken up
about 2 years in advance of creation of irrigation potential. The same plans wil I
be made available by C.A.D.A. to the irrigation department for alignment and
execution of field channels at project cost.
b) Field Channels:
The field channel play a vital role for achieving speedy development of command
area under the project and it is expedient to execute them along with other civil
works of the. project such as canals and distributaries with this and in view the
state Government in G.O.Ms.No. 66 C.A.D. Department dated 23-09-1978
ordered that the field channels in all major, medium, and Minor irrigation project5
in the state should be constructed including related structures, such as drops and
distribution boxes up to the commanding point of each survey number of 5 hectare
limit which ever is less. The G.O. Also specifies the following other
comprehensive orders.
1. The cost of construction of field channels including related
structures should be a charge on the project.
2. The field channels should be aligned along the ridges or

contours, as the case may be, but where the individual holdings are sub-
divided into small bits, the field channels may be constructed along the field
boundaries.
3. The Design of field channel should cater to the requirement

of turn system (WARABANDI) in the pipe outlet command area (CHAK).
4. For proper water management and for implementation to

ensure supply of water to the tail end ayacut, it is necessary that every pipe
outlet should be provided with control arrangement.
5. Maintenance of the field channels in the CHAK including

masonry work shall not be the responsibility of irrigation department and
they shall be maintained by the farmers themselves.
6. The effect of building the field channels to each survey

number and the pace of development should be reviewed every two years,
especially in command area development areas where there is a full
compliment of staff. A provisi_on of Rs 500 Lakhs is made in the project
estimate towards field channel.
c) Field drainage:
An amount of Rs. 70 La.khs is pro\ided in the project estimate towards drainage.
3.9.5 Cost estimates and costs per hectare of land development.
The farmers would be requiring financial assistance from financial

institutions for systematic land development (S.L.D.).
3.9.5.3 Financing arrangement for execution of S.L.D.
The Andhra Pradesh Co-op. Central Agricultural Development Bank Limite<I

Hyderabad (APCCADB) is the major financing agency providing long-term
credit for S.L.D. through the co-op primary Agriculture development banks
(ADBS) at the level of each taluq, affiliated to APCCADB. The commercial
blanks will also be involved for financing the SLD program.
Subsidy is proposed under centrally sponsored Scheme for small, marginal, and
disadvantaged farmers etc. covered by CAD programme. According to the
existing pattern the requirement of subsidy is to be shared equally by state ancl
Central Governments.
3.9.6 Ayacut Roads:
Making arrangements for timely and adequate supplies of various inputs is one of
the aspects of command once development and it is imperative to have adequate
service apparatus. To satisfy them, Market roads, consisting of ayacut roads, link
roads, and farm roads, are primarily required.

3.9.7.3 Likely ocio Economic imp t:

a) Iner a e in employmnt:
Due to lack of irrigation fac ilities, the farming labour in the project command r e a
are seeking employment as manual labour elsewhere in the state and also out : <le
the state. The Proj ect, on implementation, will provide a stable base of employrn nt
by way of Agriculture in their own places and will go a long way in improving -ieir
socio-economic status.
b) Agriculture based Industry:
The irrigation potential envisaged under the project stimulates industrializatiorl in

the ayacut from two angles
(i) Through different processing Industries, connected wit~ pad.. dy,

groundnut and chilly crop and
(ii) Through the manufacture of Agro-inputs needed to cope witb t he
demands of the area under developments for enhancing the productiort of
various crops. Development of other sectors like Animal Husbaidry,
poultry etc.,
Throws up demand on industries sector and also offer potential for industrial
development for utilising the products. In addition the increased prosperity of the
area will enable the people to go in for more of consumer goods. Manufacturing
Industries Serve as a bridge between needs on the one hand and resources oa the
other. The additional demand for fertilizers and the availability of Ground nut oil
seed are factors favoring the consideration of this region for establishing these
two industries.
The Animal Husbandry Department will consider the proposal of establishment

cattle. This department can also assist those interested in the development of
diary and Poultry farms within the ayacut to promote Agro-Industries.
a) Ground nut as a resource:
Groundnut is an important oil seed. Ground nut kernels are acknowledged as a

rich and cheep resource of vegetable protein. With the help of groundnut
production under the project, g·r oundnut oil Mills and solvent extraction industry
can be set up in the area. The Industry also becomes a multipurpose food oriented
one. The Groundnut cake can be used as cattle feed and also as fertilizer. The
low-fat groundnut flour is a rich source of proteins and can .therefore be used for
producing Proteins rich foods. The presence of solvent extraction unit can also be
advantageously availed of for. the manufacture of laundry or washing soap under
small scale units which can find local market readily.
b) Chillies as a Resource:
Chillies form an important commercial crop and most of it is concerned as green

chillies or red chillies. For the consumption of important urban centers Rd
chillies are powered and sold in packed powder form. This facilitates sending thi
chilies over long distance and keeping it over a long period. Powdering d
chillies is a small activity which can be started in important resources centers.
The main equipment required in chillies powering industry are pulverize<l 1
shifting equipment and necessary electric motors. This chilies power industl)
fetches very good returns as it is in high demand in big cities like, Hyderaba~
Bombay, Delhi etc.
ii) Oleo - resin from Red Chillies:
A new extract called Oleo - resin from red chillies in liquid form can retain tl,e
flavor and other qualities of chilies without the attendant micro biological
hazards. This is comparatively a new product. Such small units can also le
contemplated in the project command area as chillies crop is proposed over a
large area under the project.
c) Any other:
There is scope for other allied industries like manufacture of Mills huller screen~~
Mill components, and spares, Tractor servicing stations, sprayers dusters, tannery
etc.
3.10 Flood Control and Drainage:
3.10.1 Flood Control:
This is a lift Irrigation Project having its command in the upland areas well above the flood
Zone of Krishna River. As such there are no flood damage problems in the command area
of the Project. There are also no flood damage problems in the proposed Balancing
Reservoir in the command area of the project.
3.10.2 Drainage:
3.10.2.1 Basin Characteristics:
As per Bhima Project Report the project command area in general is gently rolling,
undulating, pedi plain country with slopes ranging upto 5 percent under laid by
magmaatites and granitiodites similar to peninsular Gneissic complex with disconnected
narrow bands ofDharwar group. This constitutes good drainage in the command area.
b) Physiography:
The project command area consists of gently rolling and undulating plains and bro~d flat
valleys interspersed by minor ridges and drains draining into the Krishna River on the
south.
c) Existing drainage Lines:
The entire project area lies in Krishna basin and is drained by the Krishna River and its
tributaries viz., Yerragattu vagu and Khanapur vagu and Dindivagu. The area is generally
well drained with surface slopes upto
d) Form Drainage:
The command area of the Project has a general slope from North to south towards Krishna
River, and is well drained by local vagus and streams. The drainage from the farms will
collect into these natural drains posing no problems of drainage. However necessar1
provision is made in the Project estimate for internal field drainage.
e) Rainfall in the Command
The weighted average rainfall in the command .area during the period from June t()
September is of the order of 684 mm. The rainfall beyond December in this area is scantly
and erratic with long dry spells':), Hence this will not pose any problem of drainage a11cl
surface soil erosion.
3.10.2.2 Investigation
a) Water Table investigation :
~ater table in the command area is far below i.e., about 20 m from the ground lev/4. As
such no water logging problems are anticipated in the command area. .I

wells fitted with hand pumps.
3.19.2 ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS

3.19.2.1 KNOWN SOURCES OF POLLUTION
There are no. major industries, thermal power stations or mining operations in and around
the project area. Hence there is no source of pollution.
3.19.2.2 INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT IN PROJECT AREA:

A) Present Status:
At present there are no major I minor industries in the command area, except earth
born cottage industries like brick kilns, and a few small rice mills etc.,
B) Future Status (10 years):

There are no future plans for setting any established industries in the project area.
In the post project scenario, Agro based industries as already detailed in para 3.9.9.3
will be developed which will not pose any environmental hazards.
3.19.2.3. BROAD DETAILS OF AQUATIC LIFE:
In the project area there is no appreciable aquatic life at present except small quantity of
fish in tanks \vhich will be available only during monsoon period.
In the post - project period it is proposed to develop fish culture in the beds of the
proposed Balancing Reservoirs for the benefit of local fisherman community, Provision for
removal of bushes and small trees with in the submergence once of these BRS is made in
the estimate under the sub head-Environment as per the recommendations of the state
fisheries Department.

This project do not affect any habitation of wild animals and birds and the area is not
suitable for potential wild life sanctuary.
3.19.2.5 FLORA, FAUNA IN THE SUB-MERGED AREA:
There are no flora/ fauna in the sub-mcrgence area.
3.19.2.6 TOURSIM:
The Project area is not a Tourist resort, except for local people, the Singotam, Kollapur and
somasil have religious importance.
3.19.2.7 BROAD DETAILS OF ENDEMIC HEALTH PROBLEMS DUE TO

SOIL AND WATER BORNE DISEASES:
No serious endemic health problems will borne due to the construction of project.
However suitable provisions for providing medical care and assistance is made in the
project estimate towards this item under sub-head X-environment and ecology.
3.19.3. ENVIORNMENT AL IMPACT:
3.19.3.1. PROPOSALS TO DEVELOP THE SITE TO ATTRACT TORUSM:

3.19.3.2.
There is no proposal to attract tourism.
3.19.3.3. EFFECT OF THE STORAGE IN FLOOD MITIGATION:
There is no flood problem in the project area.
3.19.3.4. CHANGES IN SALINITY OF UNDER-GROUND WATER

EXPECTED AND REMEDIES.
The ground water is generally fresh and fit for irrigation. No change is expected in
the PH value of ground water in project area.
The water of Krishna river, which will be pumped for irrigation in the command
area of the project is not saline and suitable for irrigation and drinking. Hence there is no
possibility of any deterioration of quality of Ground Water after irrigation is introduced and
therefore will be no changes in salinity of under Ground Water, warranting any remedial
measures.
3.19.3.5. EXPECTED WATER LOGGING PROBLEMS AAJl REMEDIES:
No water logging problems will be generated due to construction of project, as this

is a lift irrigation project.
3.19.3.6. AQUATIC LIFE:
This is a lift irrigation project. Streams across which these reservoirs are proposed
are very meagre. Being L-I Scheme there is no question of any impact on migratory fish
life and there is no need for any fish ladder / lift. There is no loss what so ever in ·aquatic
life.
In fact, development of fisheries is now being proposed under the-proposed B.lt_.S.
in the project, for·which suitable provision is made under the sub Head X - environment
and
3.19.3.7. BROAD DETAILS OF MINES, MINERALS, COMMERCIAL
TIMBER AND OTHER NATURAL RESOURCES COMING UNDER
THE SUBMANAGANCE WITH ESTIMATED LOSS.
There are no such cases in the project and as such there is no loss on this account.
3.19.3.8. BROAD DETAILS OF INJURIOUS MINERALS COMING UNDER

SUBMERGENCE:
There are no such cases in of any of the proposed Balancing Reservoirs under the
Project.
3.19.3.9. EFFECT OF WATER BODY IN ENHANCEMENT OF WATER

BORNE DISEASES:
The Balancing Reservoirs proposed under the project are very small. The
impoundment is only by the controlled pumped water, which will be used up for the crop
period. Hence there is no possibility of enhancement of water borne diseases.
3.19.3.10. BROAD DETAILS OF LIKELY GRWOTH OF WE:EDS,

INTERMITTENT HOST AND PROPOSED REMEDIAL IVIEASURES:
The 4 Balancing Reservoirs proposed under the Project are generally shallow with
small water spread and are filled by controlled pumped water.
As such these problems are not likely to be encountered on any appreciable scale.
3.19.3.11. EFFECT OF PROJECT ON CLIMATALOGICAL CHANGES:
This is a lift Irrigation Project. It is very unlikely that the small 4 Balancing
Reservoirs proposed under the project could have any effect on climatological changes.
3.19.3.12. MEASURES TO PREVENT ANIMAL OVER GRAZING AND

CULTIVATION OF FORESHORE OF RESERVOIR TO PREVENT
PREMATURE SILTING:
The proposed Reservoirs are meant to serve as Balancing Reservoirs with optional
storage filled by pumped water. There are no silt problems to warrant any counter
measures.
3.19.3.13. LIKELY IMP ACT OF RESERVOIR LOADNG ON SEISMICITY:
The capacities of the proposed balancing Reservoirs are very small and three of them
represented old existing kuntas which are proposed to be improved into balancing
Reservoirs. The reservoirs are to be filled by pumped water. The depth of impoundment is
small and is confined to the crop period only. There are no major faults of any significance
in reservoirs area. And as such the impoundment in these small Reservoirs wil I not
possibly cause any induced sesimicity due to reservoir loading.
3.19.3.14. LIKELY IMPACT OF POPULATION PRESSURE DURING
CONSTRUCTION OF FELLING TRESS, FOREST FIRES ETC.
This does not arise in this case as there is no forest area, no pasture lands. The labour
force to be employed on the project will not also be concentrated in large number at one
place but scattered.
3.19.3.15. PROPOSALS FOR OBSERVANCE AND MONITORING OF

SUGGESTED SAFE GUARDS DURING AND AFfER
CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT:
There is no threat of any disturoance to the environment and Ecology of the Project
area on account of the Project, and as such no special safeguard and preventive measures
are warranted, as this is only Lift Irrigation Project.
