Description The present study entitled “Regional variation in water resources development in
Andhra Pradesh” was under taken purposely to study the overall development of water
resources. The objectives of the study include to study the source-wise water resources
and to estimate the growth rates for different sources, to study the issues pertaining to
water resource potential, and to suggest suitable policy measures for overall balanced
development of water resources.
Time series secondary data on area irrigated, sources-wise area irrigated and
region-wise area irrigated, over the period from 1955-56 through 2008-09 were
analyzed. Data on investment in irrigation (plan-wise) from the period of first five year
plan (1951-1956) to tenth five year plan (2002-2007) and data on plan-wise major,
medium and minor irrigation potential created and potential utilized for the period of (
pre-plan period upto1951) to eleventh annual plan (2008-09) were collected from
Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Government of Andhra Pradesh. Data were
also collected from Central Water Commission, Irrigation Department of Government
of Andhra Pradesh and E-Resources of the ANRAGU university library. Per cent
change over previous years, compound growth rates and mean were used as analytical
tools.
The results revealed that the investment trend in irrigation sector has been
increasing since first five year plan. The tank irrigated area has been decreasing with
growth rate were negative and found statistically significant at 1% and 5% level in
Rayalaseema, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and with negative growth rate in Coastal
Andhra during the study period. The canal irrigated area has been stagnant in Telangana
and Rayalaseema, whereas it has been increasing with high and significant growth rate
in Coastal Andhra and Andhra Pradesh during the study period.
The well irrigated area has been increasing with high and significant growth rate in
all three distinct regions of Andhra Pradesh and the entire state of Andhra Pradesh.
Irrigated area under other sources has been increasing with slow growth rate in Coastal
Andhra, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, whereas it has been decreasing in
Rayalaseema during the study period.
Net irrigated area has been increasing slowly with non-significant growth in
Coastal Andhra and Rayalaeseem whereas it has been increasing with high and
significant growth rate in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh during the study period. The
gross irrigated area has been increasing with high and significant growth rate in
Telangana and the state of Andhra Pradesh whereas it has been increasing with slow
and non significant growth rate in Andhra Pradesh. On an average there has been 9.6
per cent gap between potential created and potential utilized on irrigation potential in
Andhra Pradesh. The study suggests a balanced development in water resources across
regions.
