==Origins==
It originates near [[Mahabubabad|Narsampet]] town of [[Warangal District]], Telangana.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-andhrapradesh/water-level-at-munneru-goes-up/article734043.ece|title=Water level at Munneru goes up|newspaper=The Hindu|date=24 March 2010}}</ref>

==Flow==
It flows through [[Dornakal]] Eru and comes via Kamanchkal to Danavaigudam suburb of [[Khammam]] city where it has a small [[Dam]] in order to facilitate water collection. Munneru acts as a water source to [[Khammam]] city. It goes through ManchiKanti Nagar, Kalavoddu, Moti Nagar, Prakash Nagar and Dhamsalampuram suburbs of [[Khammam]] city. It reaches Pedamandava [[Telangana Border]] and Vatsavayi village of [[Krishna District]]. It flows into [[Penuganchiprolu]] town, Keesara village<ref>{{cite web |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/School-picnic-turns-tragic-for-15/articleshow/1310068.cms |title=School picnic turns tragic for 15 - Times of India |website=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202185938/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2005-11-28/hyderabad/27835197_1_school-picnic-munneru-rivulet-class-ix |archive-date=2 February 2014 |url-status=live}}</ref> and finally discharges into the [[River Krishna|Krishna river]] at [[Eturu]] village near [[Nandigama]] downstream of [[Pulichinthala Project|Pulichintala dam]]. Muniyeru barrage was constructed in the year 1898 near [[Jaggayyapeta]] to supply irrigation water to 6,650 hectares of land.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://india-wris.nrsc.gov.in/wrpinfo/index.php?title=Muniyeru_Anicut_A00145 |title= Muniyeru Anicut A00145 |access-date=30 June 2014}}</ref>

==Bridges==
[[File:Munneru-bridge.jpg|thumb|Two Bridges across Munneru River in [[Khammam]] city.]]
There is a [[Water bridge]] constructed across Munneru to allow the flow of Nagarjunsagar water to [[Khammam]] city and other locations in [[Khammam district]]. Added to that Khammam has one old bridge for regular vehicles while heavy vehicles go through the new bridge.

Construction has started on a newer bridge to connect [[Nelakondapalli]] and [[Kodad]] to [[Khammam]] via Prakashnagar.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-andhrapradesh/work-on-munneru-bridge-to-commence-today/article3971194.ece|title = Work on Munneru bridge to commence today|newspaper = The Hindu|date = 6 October 2012}}</ref> This bridge would save the distance of travel and also would help easy flow of Munneru River.

In the [[Krishna District]] there is a road and railway bridge at Lingala village. There is a road bridge at [[Penuganchiprolu]] while there is a bridge on [[National Highway 9 (India)|National Highway 9]] at [[Nandigama]].

==Flooding==
Excess rainfall in [[Mahabubabad]], [[Dornakal]] and other regions along with [[Khammam]] causes regular floods on Munneru river.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hindu.com/2008/03/25/stories/2008032553000300.htm |title=The Hindu : Andhra Pradesh / Khammam News : Four washed away in Munneru river |website=www.hindu.com |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080328180442/http://www.hindu.com/2008/03/25/stories/2008032553000300.htm |archive-date=28 March 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hindu.com/2010/11/03/stories/2010110351580300.htm |title=The Hindu : Andhra Pradesh / Khammam News : Heavy rain batters Khammam |website=www.hindu.com |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101121153014/http://www.hindu.com/2010/11/03/stories/2010110351580300.htm |archive-date=21 November 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref> 2013 has seen the overflow of Munneru river.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-andhrapradesh/godavari-krishna-tributaries-in-spate/article5033953.ece|title = Godavari, Krishna tributaries in spate|newspaper = The Hindu|date = 18 August 2013}}</ref> This led to a plan for building a flood-bank along the river bank.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-andhrapradesh/plan-on-anvil-to-construct-flood-bank-along-munneru/article5027963.ece|title = Plan on anvil to construct flood bank along Munneru|newspaper = The Hindu|date = 16 August 2013}}</ref>
