Prakasam Barrage, Irrigation barrage in Andhra Pradesh, India
The Prakasam Barrage extends 1,223 meters across the Krishna River, controlling water flow through 76 gates for irrigation and drinking water supply.
Built in 1957 over the Krishna River, the barrage supports agricultural development in multiple districts through an extensive network of canals and waterways.
During water festivals, residents gather near the barrage to participate in ceremonies and activities that emphasize the connection between water and local traditions.
Visitors can access the barrage daily from 6 AM to 8 PM, with designated viewing areas providing clear views of the water management system.
The barrage maintains water levels for navigation between Andhra Pradesh districts while supporting fish populations through specialized monitoring systems.
