I. Preface
We, the students of civil participated in the Survey Camp
which was held at Nagar Kurnool from 20 to 22 March,
2014. The Camp was organized by The Department of Civil
Engineering led by Dr. K. R. C. Reddy, Head of department
and Mr. K. Sai Baba , Assistant professor. The Survey Camp
had the following objectives:
1) To enable us to gain a deeper understanding of the
surveying subject through site visits;
2) To relate the class room learning to real world situations;
3) To broaden students' horizons and students' global
cultural awareness through interaction with experienced
engineers.
The Survey Camp also enabled us to visit an ongoing
construction of Mahathma (Kalwakurthy) Lift Irrigation
project in Mahabubnagar district. It was a very valuable and
inspirational experience for us to interact and discuss with
site engineers and workers.
We performed very well in organizing the 3 days camp and
developing our interpersonal relationships with classmates,
mentors and professors.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the
Shanthinekethan High School, Nagar Kurnool management,
for giving us accommodation and treated us like their good
friends.
II. Overview
The Survey Camp was undoubtedly one of the most
incredible memories in my college life. The acquisition of
knowledge and interpersonal happiness obtained from the
camp hardly be acquired from books and lectures. We are
delighted and grateful to have such an excellent camp
organized by the College not only to travel, but also to learn,
to explore and to reflect.
This report covers an array of highlights of the Survey Camp.
After this camp, we have realized that Engineering Survey is
vitally important as a golden opportunity for us. The rapid
development in Civil Engineering Methodology has
broadened our horizons and made us eye-opening.
For our personal achievements, we have established a long-
lasting friendship among peers. We have gained much
confidence in our interpersonal relationship.Besides, I want
to say thanks to Dr. K. R. C. Reddy, Mr. K. Sai Baba and the
Mentors who were really helpful and insightful to design
the camp. I hope they could also find the camp joyful and
awesome
III.Details of Site Visits
Day 1:
On the first day of the Camp, we visited an open land area
and did the Contour Lines experiment with equipment like
total station, chain, tape, telescope, ranging rods etc. And
later, we took all the values that we got from the
equipment and recorded it on the drawing sheet. The
opportunity to survey on a large piece of uneven land which
is a difficult proposition even for experienced engineers
exposed us to real time professionals. In addition our
Assistant Professors guided us through the exercise thus
boosting our confidence to handle difficult experiment in
the future.
Day 2:
On the second day of the Camp, we visited the ongoing
construction of the Canal to the Mahathma (Kalwakurthy)
Lift Irrigation project near Nagar Kurnool village. A Survey
revealed that ,the canal starts from the back waters of
Srisailam Dam near Kollapur.The canal will meet the
drinking water needs of over 303 villages en routed 22
through ares including Kollapur, Nagar Kurnool, Achampet,
Jadcherla, Wanaparthy and Kalwakurthy areas.
There we learnt how the Engineers are doing the project
and we took all the values of the project by ourselves with
all the latest equipment like Total station, Telescope, Chains,
Tapes etc. This visit made us experienced so that in future
we can do the projects without any confusion. We had an
opportunity to meet the Geotechnical Engineers who were
working there. The interaction with Geotechnical Engineers
helped us gain an additional knowledge besides the
Engineering Survey subject that how and why they chose
the specific land for the laying of the Canal.
Day 3:
On the third day of the camp, we have the ongoing
construction of Mahathma (Kalwakurthy) Lift Irrigation
Project which is near Nagar Kurnool village in
Mahabubnagar district. The visit was took up half a day.
From studies, it is obvious that Mahathma (Kalwakurthy)
Lift Irrigation Scheme is proposed to provide irrigation
facilities to an extent of 2,50,000 acres and utilizing 25 TMC
of water including drinking water facilities to 3,20,000
population (0.73 TMC) in the chronically drought affected
areas in Mahabubnagar district by lifting water from
Krishna River from the foreshore of Srisailam Reservoir at
Regimangadda of Yelluru (V) in Kollapur (M).
Details of proposals: -
It is proposed to lift water from foreshore of Srisailam
Reservoir in 3 stages.
1st Stage: - Water will be drawn from Srisailam foreshore
through an approach channel and a tunnel and lifted into
Yellur Balancing Reservoir through a pressure main.
2nd Stage: - From Yellur Balancing Reservoir, water will be
drawn through gravity canal and dropped into Singottam
Balancing Reservoir and from there water will be lifted to
Jonnalabogada Balancing Reservoir through another tunnel
and pressure main.
3rd Stage: - Water from Jonnalaboguda Balancing Reservoir
will flow through gravity canal and a tunnel and will be
lifted through a pressure main and dropped into
Gudipalligattu balancing reservoir.
IV. Conclusion &
Recommendation :
Since, Mahabubnagar district falls under the Tropical semi-
arid (steppe) climate region. I could say that it is a perfect
choice to construct the Mahathma (Kalwakurthy) Lift
Irrigation Project near Nagar Kurnool village.
From the findings of the study, I may recommend that by
use of rotating blades at the end of the discharge pipes
could be used to generate electricity usually results in lower
costs.
