INTRODUCTION

Ananthapuramu District is situated in Rayalseema region of Andhra Pradesh state and lies between 13°-40'N to 15°-15'N Latitude and76°-50'E to 78°-30'E Longitude with a population of 40,83,315 (2011 census). One of the famous spiritual center in this district is Puttaparthi and it is80Km. away from Ananthapuramu. The District falls partly in Krishna basin and partly in Pennar basin. The District is surrounded by Bellary, KurnoolDistricts on the North, Kadapa and Kolar Districts of Karnataka on South East and North respectively. The district is principally a hot country andtemperatures vary from 17°C-40°C. The important rivers flowing in the District are (1) Pennar (2) Jayamangali (3) Chitravathi (4) Vedavathi (also calledHagari), (5) Papagni, (6) Maddileru.

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

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

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

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

Introduction

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

Rainfall

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

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

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

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

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

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

1) Harvesting of rainfall runoff:-

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

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

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

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

2) Judicial use/Efficient use of Groundwater:-

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

b) Micro Irrigation methods by APMIP.
