Gundlakamma River

The Gundlakamma ((テルグ語:గుండ్లకమ్మ నది)) is a seasonal river that flows through the east central part of the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. It arises in the Nallamalla Hills, an offshoot of the Eastern Ghats. Its main headwaters lie some 6 kilometers from the village of Ardhaveedu, Prakasam District at an altitude of 425 m. above MSL.〔Google Earth〕 Numerous mountain streams join it as it descends down the thickly forested hills through a series of curves and tight bends. It follows a north-easterly direction and enters the plains near Cumbum, after flowing through a town named after it. Gundlakamma is the largest of all the rivers that originate from the Nallamalla Hills.
A 15th-century dam built by the Gajapati kings〔http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/apac/other/019wdz000000600u00000000.html〕 straddles the river on its entry into the plains. It is an earthen dam that plugs the narrow outlet of a wide gorge that the river flows through. Called the Cumbum Dam, it is high, has a drainage area of and a capacity of .〔 The river then flows past the town of Markapur and towards the Coromandel Coast through addanki. It finally enters the Bay of Bengal, some 19 km east of Ongole after having covered a distance of 225 km.

Apart from the ancient dam at Cumbum mentioned above, a modern dam called Gundlakamma Reservoir Project too has been constructed across the river at Chinna Mallapuram, Prakasam District. Some high, this dam has a capacity of and can irrigate of land. It will also provide drinking water for the 250,000 people living in Ongole and its surrounding hamlets.〔http://www.hindu.com/2007/02/05/stories/2007020513940400.htm〕
Veligonda project is under construction to connect the river basin with the adjacent Krishna River basin by a 20 km long tunnel from the Srisailam reservoir. Construction of a 40 tmc capacity storage reservoir is also part of this project. Once this project is completed, the reliability of water supply to all the irrigation projects in the river basin would enhance vastly.
