Andhra Pradesh SW

"The Andhra Pradesh Surface Water agency functions under the state's Water Resources Department and is primarily responsible for the planning, development, and management of surface water resources. Its key roles include overseeing irrigation projects, managing reservoirs and canals, and ensuring the sustainable use of water for agricultural, industrial, and domestic purposes. The agency plays a crucial role in flood control and works on major projects like the Polavaram Irrigation Project, which is a multipurpose project aimed at transferring surplus water from the Godavari River to the Krishna River basin.

The department also uses technological advancements such as the Andhra Pradesh Water Resources Information and Management System (APWRIMS) for real-time water management through GIS and remote sensing data. The Andhra Pradesh Space Applications Centre (APSAC) supports water resource management with satellite-based tools for monitoring surface water availability and usage."
