Most parts of Andhra Pradesh are very fertile lands, thanks to the deltas formed by the rivers Krishna and Godavari. For long, the state has been called the Rice Bowl of India, along with some other states, of course. The state has its many rivers, and the dams and reservoirs built on them to thank for its agrarian prosperity. These dams and reservoirs only store and thereby stop wastage of useful freshwater that would otherwise flow into the Bay of Bengal. The canals from these water reserves give interior lands access to drinking and irrigation water. Low lying lands and river banks are kept safe from flooding every monsoon. This 2-part presentation offers in brief information about the various dams and reservoirs in Andhra Pradesh.
