Canal
The Western delta canal of GODAVARI river flows through Tadepalligudem and separates the town into two divisions. It is the main source for drinking water and agriculture. The canal water is stored in pampula cheruvu and supplied after filteration. Tadepalligudem (or T.P Gudem as it is colloquially known) is famous for its 'flyover canal' where one canal flows over another creating a crisscross of canals resembling an expressway crossing. It is because of this that some locals refer to their town fondly as 'Venice of Vijayawada (East)'.

“My impression about the Panama Canal is that the great revolution it is going to introduce in the trade of the world is in the trade between the east and the west coast of the United States.”
