Vykuntapuram Barrage is under construction project on the Krishna river 23KM up stream of existing Prakasam Barrage with FRL 25M to store ^[1]10 TMC of flood water coming from Vyra, Munneru rivers. The back water of this barrage will extend beyond Pokkunuru up to the toe of Pulichintala dam. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara chandrababu Naidu Laid Foundation stone^[2] for this project on 13-02-2019.

Vykuntapuram Barrage salient features as follows^[3].

Godavari Penna River Linking

To stabilize the existing irrigated ayacut area under Nagarjuna sagar right canal, a new lift project^[4] construction with greenfield alignment was started having five step ladder pumping Stages and Canal to transfer 7,000 cusecs of Godavari water from Prakasam barrage back waters into the Nagarjuna sagar right canal near Nekarikallu in the first phase of Godavari Penna River linking project^[5] to utilize 73 tmcft of Godavari water. With FRL 25M newly created Vykuntapuram Barrage pond will have back waters beyond Pokkunuru up to the toe of Pulichinthala Project. It is more economical to construct First stage pump house of this lift project to lift water from Prakasam Barrage Back water into Newly Created Vykuntapuram Barrage pond and the second Lift stage from Vykuntapuram Barrage pond to Existing K.L Rao sagar pulichintala Project and later lift Stages from K.L Rao Sagar to Nagarjuna sagar right canal.It will shorten the length of this lift project canal, Pressure Main and less number of lift stages and also enables to lift water upto Srisailam Project via Existing Reversible Reverse turbine pump houses in nagarjuna sagar dam and its tail pond project. It is even more economical, if we construct a new gravity canal from Ibrahimpatnam to Vykuntapuram Barrage pond to deliver the Polavaram right main canal/ Budameru diversion canal waters directly into the Vykuntapuram barrage pond since Polavaram right main canal level is 33 m MSL at Ambapuram hill near Vijayawada.

ere is a proposal to link Nagarjuna Sagar Dam across the Krishna River and Somasila Dam across Penna River with 400 km canal as part of national river linking program. With help from the Indian Government, AP Govt can construct a new canal up to Somasila Dam as per DPR of Indian Rivers Inter-link program specifications.^[9]Thus the Godavari River water will travel up to Somasila Dam and then Swarnamukhi in Chittoor district via existing Somasila Swarnamukhi link canal. GoAP can also provide water to Tamil Nadu with this Godavari water and retained^[10] water in Krishna River (15 TMC allocation of Krishna water to Telugu Ganga) will be used for other projects in Rayalaseema region.

In future a new massive dam named Palnadu Sagar across hill range near Bollapalle^[11] with 700 TMC capacity reservoir is possible using of flood water of Krishna River and Godavari River diverted with this lift project. It will submerge nearly 300Sq KM of land at FRL 260m MSL.Palnadu Sagar spillway with Francis Turbine will take and release water into Nagarjuna Sagar right canal along with Hydroelectricity power generation. Flood water of Krishna River will be pumped to Palnadu Sagar. The water stored in Palnadu Sagar will be used for irrigation and drinking in drought years.
