Social Environment

Jangareddygudem faces significant environmental challenges, particularly concerning water quality and the impact of the monsoon season. Comprehensive environmental impact assessments for municipal projects have highlighted the need for better drainage systems and pollution control to protect both surface and groundwater sources from contamination. Furthermore, the town’s proximity to the Yerrakalva Reservoir means it is prone to issues like flooding and heavy water flow during intense rains, posing a constant risk to infrastructure and local agriculture, including tobacco and horticultural farms. Ongoing efforts by the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board (APPCB) and local consultants focus on monitoring air and water standards and implementing strategies for solid waste and sewage management to ensure a healthier and more resilient local environment.
