Siddapuram tank is the biggest ever tank in the district. The Siddapuram LI Scheme lifts two tmcft from Velugodu Reservoir into the tank. The Rs 119 crore project will be able to supply water to 25,000 acres of land. The Siddapuram LI Scheme is the brain-child of the MLA’s father Budda Vengal Reddy and former MLA Sitarami Reddy.
