Kadapa water reference
Project history, key milestones, capacity, water routes and current reservoir data in one place. Start with the story of a reservoir, then move to its latest storage, inflow and outflow when live data is available.
Reservoir guides
Each researched profile explains why the reservoir was built, how water reaches it, key dates and the evidence behind important figures. Where KDP has a live data page, the same card links directly to current observations.
Brahmamsagar, also recorded as SPVB or Veerabrahmam Reservoir, is one of the major balancing storages on the Telugu Ganga route. The main dam was completed in 1999 to 2000, first filling came in 2005 to 2006 and connected canal works continued later.…
Gandikota is a major Penna storage and a central junction in the GNSS water network. Krishna water reaches it through the Srisailam, Gorakallu and Owk corridor, then moves toward lift schemes, Chitravathi, Paidipalem and the lower GNSS reservoirs. Its history spans early…
Buggavanka is a medium irrigation reservoir on Bugga Vanka in the Pennar basin in YSR Kadapa district. Current storage should be read against the capacity basis used by the official reservoir data source.
Chitravathi Balancing Reservoir is a major irrigation storage serving the Anantapur–Pulivendula region. It receives water lifted from Gandikota and supports irrigation and drinking-water needs in drought-prone parts of Rayalaseema.
Gorakallu Balancing Reservoir is a major storage near Nandyal on the Srisailam Right Branch Canal and GNSS transfer corridor. Water moving through this system can continue through Owk toward Gandikota and the reservoirs farther downstream.
Mylavaram Reservoir is built across the Penna River in YSR Kadapa district. It is an important irrigation storage for the Kadapa region and also sits downstream of the wider Gandikota water system on the Penna.
Paidipalem Reservoir is a balancing reservoir in YSR Kadapa district built under the Gandikota Lift Irrigation Scheme. Water lifted from the Gandikota foreshore is stored here for irrigation in and around the Pulivendula region.
Sarvaraja Sagar is a GNSS reservoir in YSR Kadapa district and an important distribution point downstream of Vamikonda. Its right-main-canal and distributary network carries stored water into irrigation areas in the Kadapa region.
