One of the famous spiritual center in this district is Puttaparthi and it is 80Km. away from Ananthapuramu. The District falls partly in Krishna basin and partly in Pennar basin. The District is surrounded by Bellary, Kurnool Districts on the North, Kadapa and Kolar Districts of Karnataka on South East and North respectively. The district is principally a hot country and temperatures vary from 17°C-40°C. The important rivers flowing in the District are (1) Pennar (2) Jayamangali (3) Chitravathi (4) Vedavathi (also called Hagari), (5) Papagni, (6) Maddileru.

The district head quarter is connected by S.C. Railways broad gauge railway line from Secunderabad, Guntakal, Bangalore and Bellary (Via) Guntakal to Pakala.

Most of the area in this District is covered under Minor Irrigation Sources only in addition to one completed Major Irrigation Project viz., Tungabhadra Project High level canal (TBP HLC) system stage-I (A joint venture of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh States). The Right Bank High level canal (R.B.H.L.C.) takes off from right bank of T.B. Dam and runs in Karnataka and enters in Andhra Pradesh at Km. 105.437 and contemplated to irrigate an ayacut of 2.849 Lakh acres out of this 1,45,236 acres in Ananthapuramu district and remaining is Kurnool and Kadapa District. The T.B.P.H.L.C. Stage-II scheme, which is an Ongoing Project has been taken up during 1967 with a cost of Rs 914.70 Lakhs to provide irrigation facilities to an extent of 2,83,041 acres (including 1,01,600 acres under PABR Stage-II, i.e., Yadiki Canal System) in Ananthapuramu, Kadapa and Kurnool districts. Out of the total ayacut of 2,83,041 acres ayacut contemplated under T.B.P.H.L.C. Stage-II scheme, an ayacut of 1,33,807 acres is situated in Ananthapuramu district. Thus the total Ayacut contemplated in Ananthapuramu district under TBP HLC Scheme (Stage-I and II) is 2,44,770 acres.
