Kinnerasani River
River in India
Kinnerasani is an important tributary of Godavari flowing through the Warangal and Bhadradri districts of Telangana and Eluru district of Andhra Pradesh.[1]
In the Khammam District, a dam known as the Kinnerasani Dam is built on this river. The back waters of the dam are surrounded by verdant hills and come to be protected under the precincts of the Kinnerasani Wildlife Sanctuary. The gross storage capacity of the dam is 237.8 million cubic meters (Mcm) or 8.4 tmc ft [2] The river drains on the right bank of Godavari in Telangana and forms common boundary between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states before its confluence with main Godavari river.

river basin's sustainable
productivity & ecology
- Algal bloom in reservoirs
- High alkalinity of river water in the river basin upstream of Pochampadu dam
- Frequent floods in tail end area of the river basin
- Alkali salts / high pH water run off from ash / red mud dumps of coal fired power stations / bauxite ore enrichment
- Excessive silting of reservoirs due to deforestation and mining activities
