Kondaveeti Vagu Flooding at Lam area. This could cut off road between Guntur city and Amaravati.
I am aware that Govt had ensured that lift irrigation pumps were in place to reduce the floods caused by Kondaveeti Vagu in core capital region. However, I am not sure if they would be effective in preventing upstream floods in the Lam area.
Last year during July, I travelled to Peddaparimi from Guntur and I observed a lot of water logging right opposite to Delhi Public school. I guess this is because of Kondaveeti Vagu canal taking an abrupt perpendicular turn which results in an over spill during the rainy season.
Lam is a key stretch connecting Guntur city to Amaravati capital. If this issue is not addressed, during heavy rains it can result in Road cutoff between guntur and amaravati.
Are there any plans from the Government to mitigate the issue? Like widening the canal or maybe building a reservoir at lam to hold large amounts of water etc.
