Preamble

The Kurnool - Cuddapah Canal Project, a part of Tungabhadra Sub Basin of Krishna Basin is a 143 years old irrigation system in Andhra Pradesh. A private Dutch Company called Madras Irrigation Canal Co.Ltd.,had constructed this canal system during 1863-1870 for providing navigation facility as well as irrigation. The irrigation supplies required for K.C Canal System are diverted from Tungabhadra River by means of anicut constructed across this river at Sunkesula. The Tungabhadra Sub Basin is a part of Krishna Basin. As per KWDT award the allocation of assessed flows of Tungabhadra Basin and Vedavathi ( Hagari ) Sub Basin for existing and future projects in A.P. is 3929 cubic meters. Out of this the K.C Canal share is 1130 cubic meter (39.90 TMC). The project comprised of an anicut across river Tungabhadra, a tributary of river Krishna, at Sunkesula Village in Kurnool District and a 305.60 KM long navigation-cum-irrigation canal. The canal named as K.C Canal, which takes off from the right bank of the Sunkesula anicut traverses via Kurnool City and Cuddapah Town and terminates near Krishnapuram in Cuddapah District. The Designed Discharge of K.C.Canal is 3,000 C/s. The total localized ayacut under K.C Canal system is 2,65,628 Acres. There are 2 system tanks in Kurnool District and 13 system tanks in Cuddapah District under K.C Canal System.

The K.C Canal is unique in its perception and features it consists of the 4 anicuts namely

1. Sunkesula anicut across Thungabhadra River.

2. Santhajutur anicut across Galeru River.

3. Rajoli anicut across Kundu river and

4. Adnimmayapalli anicut across Penna River.

Covering two districts (Kurnool & Kadapa).

Preamble

Rayalaseema in Andhra Pradesh is a Semi Arid Zone with scanty and erratic rainfall and has been identified as a chronically drought effected area by the Irrigation Commission (Govt. of India 1972)

Since the times of Sir Arthur Cotton proposals were formulated to provide Krishna water to Rayalaseema for drinking and irrigation to eradicate drought and famine. To arrest desertification process in this region, G.N.S.S scheme is an important step contemplated by the Govt. of Andhra Pradesh conceived in G.O.Ms.No.236, dated.22.9.1988.

The scheme envisages drawl of 38.00 TMC of surplus flood waters of River Krishna from foreshore of Srisailam Reservoir and convey them through Pothireddipadu Head Regulator, SRMC, Banakacherla Cross Regulator, SRBC, Gorakallu Reservoir, Owk Reservoir & GNSS Flood Flow Canal/Tunnel to Gandikota Reservoir. The GNSS main canal takes off from Gandikota Reservoir and runs for a length of about 344 KM feeding 10 Reservoirs enroute.

Preamble

The T.G.P. now under construction is a diversion scheme from foreshore of N.S.R. Sagar project and is intended to supply 15 TMC of Krishna water to Chennai city for drinking purpose besides creating irrigation Potential of 5,75,000 acres (1.08 Lakhs acres in Kurnool Dist., 1.77 Lakhs acres in Kadapa District utilizing 29 TMC of Krishna Water through Velugodu Balancing Reservoir and S.P.V.B. Reservoir respectively and 0.46 Lakhs acres in Chittoor District and 2.54 Lakh Acres in Nellore District utilizing 30 TMCC of Pennar water through Kandaleru Reservoir). The Telugu Ganga Project Main canal from Km.98.260 to S.P.V.B. Reservoir intended to impound Subsidiary Reservoir-I, Subsidiary Reservoir-II and S.P.V.B. Reservoir and the canal from Subsidiary Reservoir-I to Pennar river intended to drinking water supply to Chennai is situated in the Kadapa District.

The amount spent upto 2004 is Rs. 304 Crores and and Rs. 382 Crores from 2004 onwards on the works in Kadapa District and an Irrigation Potential of 126800 acres has been created. Further, Lining to the Canals has been taken up with cost of Rs. 229.29 Crores and an amount of Rs. 214.92 Crores has been spent so far. The project is programmed to be completed by 2015-16.

The total land to be acquired is 5573 acres and so far 5471 acres is already acquired and the balance is programmed to be acquired June, 2015. An amount of Rs.65.00 Crores is require for completion of balance works

Scope:

Telugu Ganga Project is an inter-state project formulated to Irrigate 5.75 Lakh acres in drought prone areas of Rayalaseema and up lands of Nellore District besides conveying 15 TMC of Krishna waters to Chennai city. The cost of the Project as per original project Report was Rs.637 Crores. The cost as per the Review Report with 1997-98 SSRs is Rs.2735 Crores and cost as per latest review report 2006 is Rs 4432 Crores. The project is cleared from Environmental and Forest angle.

Hydrology:

The flood flows of river Krishna are proposed tobe diverted to S.P.V.B. Reservoir (17 TMC capacity) for Irrigation in Sagileru basin. Two subsidiary reservoirs viz., S.R-I (2.133 TMC) and S.R-II (2.444 TMC) are also proposed on T.G.P. Main canal. The self catchment of these reservoirs is very little and negligible. Water will be received from N.S.R. Project and stored in the reservoirs.
