Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development Ponguru Narayana reiterated that the capital city of Amaravati is in a “completely safe zone”, seeking to dispel concerns about flooding due to the Krishna.

Mr. Narayana elaborated on the efforts to prevent flooding in Amaravati by constructing canals and reservoirs. “The government has designed systems like Kondaveeti Vaagu, Pala Vaagu, and gravity canals to handle excess water. Tenders will be issued soon to complete these projects before the next monsoon. In total, 48.3 km of canals will be developed, with three major canals set for completion,” the Minister said.

He added that the government would develop Kondaveeti Vaagu to a stretch of 23.6 km from Anantavaram to Undavalli, Pala Vaagu to an extent of 16.7 km from Dondapadu to Krishnayapalem and the gravity canal to a length of around 8 km at Vaikuntapuram.

Also, six reservoirs with a total capacity of more than one TMC will be built inside and outside the Seed Capital area to manage water retention. He said that within the Seed Capital, the government will develop a reservoir at Neerukonda with 0.4 TMC capacity, at Krishnayapalem with 0.1 TMC and at Sakhamuru with 0.1 TMC of water storage capacity. At the same time, three more reservoirs would be developed outside the Seed Capital, including a 0.3 TMC capacity at Lam, 0.2 TMC capacity at Vaikuntapuram and 0.2 TMC capacity at Peda Parimi.

Even in case of heavy rainfall, the Minister said the canals and reservoirs would be sufficient. He further outlined plans to pump excess water into the Krishna using lift irrigation systems with capacities of up to 12,350 cusecs at Undavalli, 4,000 cusecs at Buckingham canal and 5,650 cusecs capacity at Vaikuntapuram.

Admitting that the jungle clearance work had been stalled due to the floods, he said that this would be completed soon.
