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. |
