Kandaleru Dam

Kandeleru Dam is an irrigation project built on the Kandaleru River in Rapur Mandal, Nellore district in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.[1][2][3] The project is part of the Telugu Ganga project that supplies drinking water to Chennai city from the Srisailam reservoir on Krishna River. Kandaleru reservoir is mainly fed by a link canal from Somasila Dam.[4] The Telugu Ganga project provides irrigation.

Design

It is an earth dam about 12 km long. Gross storage capacity is 72 billion cubic feet.[5] The dam includes a head regulator, spillway and a sundial. The lead engineer was Shri Gudimella Raghupathi who designed and built the sundial in this dam.

gollark: Yes, I'm assuming it probably isn't, but I don't know what *is* going on.
gollark: I duckduckwent it and found a compiler bug which looked related, but it was fixed last year.
gollark: `('a -> ('b, [< Caqti_error.t ] as 'c) result Lwt.t) -> ('a, 'c) Caqti_lwt.Pool.t -> ('b, string) Lwt_result.t`
gollark: ```ocamllet query_pool q p = Caqti_lwt.Pool.use q p |> Lwt_result.map_err Caqti_error.showlet query (q : ('a, 'e) query) req = Request.env req |> Opium.Hmap.get key |> query_pool q```
gollark: As you can see, I am not actually very good at OCaml and somewhat adapting a tutorial for Caqti and stuff.
