Starting at Sunkesula Dam on Tungabadra river Kurnool-Cuddapah (K.C) Canal flows through Kadapa and Kurnool districts providing water to 40 km² of cultivableland.Major irrigation sources in the district are K.C canal, the Mydukur and the Chapadu <strong>Project</strong>, the upperSagileru and lower Sagileru and the Pincha <strong>Project</strong>s. Paddy, Groundnut, Red gram, Cotton, Bengal gramare the major agricultural crops. Mango, Citrus, Banana, Melons, Papaya are the fruit crops.

There are about 60power pump fitted bore wells and 310 hand pump fitted bore wells.

On an average there are two bore wellsper ELSR. There are 24 bore wells which are pumping water to the ELSRs and the rest 36 bore wells aredirectly pumping water to the distribution system. Per capita supply of water is about 68 litres. Total supply ofwater is about 2.78 MLD.Other than the ground water there are few other sources of water for Badvel town. These are:Surface water of the Right Bank canal of the Sri Potuluri Veera Brahmendra Swami Reservoir (SPVBR)at/near Nandi Palle located about 8 km away from the town.• Surface water of Left bank canal of the SPBVR reservoir.• Surface water of Lakshmi Palle Tank.• Surface water of Badvel Tank.• Sub-Surface flow of the river Sagileru.• Sub-Surface flow of the river Penna.• Surface water of the SPVBR reservoir.Analysis shows that none of the above sources is perennial and sustainable except the SPVBR(Brahmasagar) reservoir water to meet the designed need of Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity.The matter of sharing water for the Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity from the Bhramasagar Reservoir was discussed withthe Superintending Engineer, Telegu Ganga <strong>Project</strong>. Water demand of Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity area has beenestimated at 17.83 MLD for the year 2040. This is equivalent to around 0.25 TMC. During discussion, theSuperintending Engineer opined that Bhramasagar Reservoir has sufficient water to meet the drinking waterrequirement of Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity area.3.3.4.2 Distribution SystemFor ease in distribution and maintenance, the town has been divided into four blocks. Each block has beendivided into small zones. Each zone is provided with a zonal reservoir and two bore wells. There are 13ELSRs of capacity varying from 40 KL to 200 KL. In addition there are 3 GLSRs of capacity varying from 15KL to 150 KL. Total storage capacity is 2040 KL. Water from the reservoirs is distributed through a networkof AC/uPVC pipelines of 80 mm sizes. Total length of pipe line is about 64 km. The pipe network coversabout 70% of the municipal area. Either the rest of the area is served by municipal tankers or through handpump fitted bore wells. There are about 4415 house connections.20
