With the starting at Bapatla,in July 1945,of the second Agricultural Colege ,one of the prime considerations was to ensure a continuous uninterrapted supply of water for the College laboratories and for the residential hostels . At Bapatla the soil is sandy,and the water table in very high,being almost within 2feet from the surface during the rainy months and about 8 to 10 feet in the summer.A common feature of the tract is the presence of a num - ber of 'dorucus'scattered within a few yards'distance of each other.A doruvu is a shallow excavated depression about 8 ft.deep,the cost of getting one ready being within Rs.10 to 15.These are the sources of irrigation,which is done by splashing,for crops ,like Paddy and tobacco nurseries ,ragi,brinjals,chillies and other vegetables raised round about Bapatla.
