The paper highlights the acute water scarcity faced by Sriramsagar and Nizamsagar irrigation projects in Andhra Pradesh.

 The water availability in these projects has diminished to 33% dependability from the designed dependability of 75% in last nine years. Due to meager inflows, the river water quality is becoming unsafe for human and cattle consumption. It also suggests the remedial action to overcome the problem in future.
