hurdle in developmental activity. Irrigation being the State subject Central Government has only a limited role to play in resolving such issues; • Non implementation of inked agreements in true spirit entered among the claimants at the time of making territorial changes such as Sri Bagh Pact etc. Had the agreements been implemented in those times by taking up the major irrigation projects on use of Krishna waters, the right of assured waters by the deprived regions would have not become a dispute now; • Lack of strong and dynamic leadership in Andhra Pradesh and differences in assigning the priorities of certain developmental sectors; and • Lack of unity and coordination among the political parties to safeguard the interests of their regions, etc. Availability of water Andhra Pradesh is a land of many rivers and lakes, the major as well as the minor rivers that flow through the State are 34. Of these, five are important rivers namely Godavari, Krishna, Pennar, Vamsadhara and Nagavali. The State’s share of dependable (75 per cent) flows from the river system, 811 thousand million cubic feet (TMC) from the Krishna, 98 TMCs from the Pennar and the rest from the other small rivers. Out of 1480 TMC available in Godavari system about 720 TMC is under utilization so for. The entire dependable yield of river Krishna is almost fully harnessed through several irrigation projects. Many a people like engineers, administrators, politicians, educated etc., differed with the proposal of new schemes in Krishna basin under the reason of non availability of water and the high cost of the projects. But as seen from table2 even in the Krishna river, in which all the allocated water of 811 TMC is fully harnessed, yet huge quantum of water is flowing waste into Bay of Bengal as measured at the last head works on Krishna river at Prakasam Barrage. But no doubt it’s dependability to harness water further from river Krishna got reduced. When some parts are experiencing drought conditions regularly, even at 60 – 65 per cent dependability can be preferred as there is no other alternate. In respect of Godavari, Andhra Pradesh is yet to utilize 760 TMCs of 75 per cent deposable allocated water till the year 2004. As could be seen from table-3, in the mighty river Godavari the quantum of water flowing as waste into sea as measured at Dowleswaram Barrage ranged from 1468 TMCft to 483 TMCft. This is the best alternate to take up new schemes in some deprived needy zones in Krishna and Pennar basins by diverting Godavari water.

The tragedy of lands, crying for water close to rivers carrying vast quantities of water uselessly to the sea, must have been the cause of deep anguish to many of the farmers who are suffering for want of water since so many decades. Dr.YSR during his Padayathra who interacted with rural population rightly observed about the needs of water and power and determined that “Needless waste of water should be prevented and efficient utilization encouraged” This fact may be the main reason for launching of “Jalayagnam”scheme. For new schemes proposed in Kishna basin for needy areas, supplementation with waters of Godavari by diversion to Krishna basin by means of Polavaram multipurpose project and Pulichinthala schemes, so as to dispell the doubts of existing ayacutdars below Nagarjuna Sagar in Krishna basin who are opposing the new schemes proposed on Krishna river. The dependence on Krishna waters for ayacut of Nagarjuna Sagar Project can be minimized by making available Godavari waters to them. Regarding high cost of project One who studies regular visits of famine and drought situation in Pennar basin and in certain upper reaches is Krishna basin, and also flood havocs once in a while, making out of now irrigation projects for sustenance of people in the drought prone areas is most effective. 17
