*Click here for Ayacut Map
Introduction

West Godavari District is carved out of Old Godavari District and as the Western Delta of the River Godavari it was appropriately named as West Godavari with Head Quarters at Eluru and bounded on the North by Khammam District on the South by Krishna District and the Bay of Bengal on the East by the River Godavari and on the West by Krishna District. The West Godavari District was formed in the year 1925. It lies between 16° 15' and 17° 30' of the Northern latitude and 80° 55' of the Eastern longitude. It was divided into three natural regions (i.e,) Delta, Upland and Agency areas. It has an area of 7742 SqKm. It has four Revenue Divisions namely Eluru, Kovvuru, Jangareddigudem and Narasapuram having 16,12,6 and 12 No of Revenue Mandals respectively.

The district lies in the River basins of Godavari, Yerra calva, Thammileru Gunderu, Ramileru and Kolleru. The district comprises of 48 mandals out of which 19 mandals upland and 29 delta mandals (including semidelta)

Rivers

Godavari is the important river flowing in this District. This river borders the entire eastern boundary of the District. At Vijjeswaram, the river breaks into two branches namely, the Gowtami Godavari (Eastern Branch) and Vasista Godavari (Western Branch) and flows towards the South of the District before emptying into the Bay of Bengal near Antarvedi.The other Minor rivers which feed the Irrigation tanks in the upland areas are Thammileru, Yerracalva, Byneru, Kovvadacalva, Jalleru and Gunderu.
