Dumpy level survey for Irrigation bund in Batlakunta Village, Telangana state

Abstract Water is the main component for the agriculture. So to store and use the water effectively we need to develop good irrigation facilities. An irrigation bund is a main irrigation component in tank irrigation system. The present paper focus on the restoration of the irrigation bund near Batlakunta village, Rangareddy District, Telangana state. This bund is built in the eighteenth century accordingly with that requirement and population. Now the population is in the village is nearly 4000 and mainly depend on irrigation. Wheat , corn, rice etc. are cultivated under the bund. But due to improper maintenance, natural calamities and environmental factors the efficiency of the bund is decreased. Now there is a need to increase the efficiency of tank and bund. Hence this paper focuses on the finding out the amount of volume which is excavated in the bund area to increase the storing capacity by using dumpy level survey. It is achieved by comparing levels taken at the time of construction known as pre levels and levels taken now for the restoration is known as post levels.
