== Geography ==
Diviseema is located in the [[river delta|delta]] area formed at Puligadda ([[Avanigadda]]), where the [[Krishna River]] is divided into two before merging into the [[Bay of Bengal]]. One merges in Bay of Bengal at Hamsaladeevi ([[Koduru mandal]]) and the other near to Gullalamoda ([[Nagayalanka mandal]]).

It is a fertile low lying plain interspersed with Krishna river and its distributaries. It is irrigated by canal irrigation drawn from Prakasam Barrage at Vijayawada. The confluence of Krishna River and Bay of Bengal at Palakayatippa is a weekend getaway and also a pilgrimage center. Towards the sea, Diviseema has rich mangroves and is notified as Krishna Wildlife Sanctuary.
