Sub-canals are being constructed in connection with the Kakatiya canal to supply water to various villages in the district. There are about 62 distributor canals in the district from D-21 sub canal to D 83A. Each distributary has up to 50 more canals on the left and right sides depending on the diameter. Irrigation water should be provided to the crop fields through related minor canals. In the district, about 1.70 lakh acres of irrigation water is being supplied by SSARSP. Due to the installation of cisterns to fill the ponds and ponds near the distributaries, another lakh acres of SSRSP is receiving irrigation water. Silt and plants have accumulated in the canals.
