The canal starts from Dummugudem pond at {{Coord\|17\|57\|43\|N\|80\|51\|31\|E\|name=Anantharam}} to [[Nagarjuna Sagar tail pond]] located across the [[Krishna River]]. This lift canal is an inter river basin transfer link by feeding Godavari river water from the Dummugudem pond to Krishna river basin to the extent of 165 [[tmcft]]. The total length of the canal is 244 km and the capacity of the canal is 22,000 [[cusec]]s to feed 165 tmcft water in three months duration of the monsoon season. Presently, the canal is planned to terminate at {{Coord\|16\|47\|19\|N\|79\|19\|03\|E\|name=Halia}} by feeding the water into the Halia river to reach the downstream Nagarjuna Sagar tail pond.

== Alternate to Dummugudem to Nagarjuna Sagar tail pond link canal==
{{Main|Polavaram Project}}

An alternative link canal to Nagarjuna Sagar tail pond from [[Polavaram Project|Polavaram dam]] is also economically feasible to transfer [[Godavari]] water. This link canal passes entirely through the coastal Andhra region only.
