Pothireddypadu Reservoir, Water reservoir in Nandyal district, India
The Pothireddypadu Reservoir stretches across the Galeru River, storing water from the Srisailam Dam through a gravity canal system at 265 meters above sea level.
The construction and modifications of the reservoir became a central point of dispute between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, contributing to the 2014 state separation.
The release of water from Pothireddypadu involves traditional ceremonies with local officials performing pujas before initiating the flow for agricultural purposes.
The reservoir maintains a storage capacity of 16.95 thousand million cubic feet, providing water to Chennai city and supporting irrigation projects in multiple regions.
A dedicated pump house ensures water flow when Srisailam reservoir levels drop below 264 meters, capable of transferring 33,000 cusecs of water.
