'''Tembhu''' is a small village situated on the eastern bank of the [[Krishna river|River Krishna]], near [[Karad]], in the [[Satara District]] of [[Maharashtra]], India. Tembhu is the site of an [[Indian rupee|Rs]] 9-billion [[irrigation]] project, set up in order to provide water to the [[drought]]-stricken Satara district. A recent report by a [[government of India|government]] committee has looked into the project and decided that it is unviable, citing, among other reasons, "unusually high" project costs.<br />
<br />
It is the birthplace of famous "samajsudharak" Mr. [[Gopal Ganesh Agarkar]] (Freedom Fighter) who played important role in political and social aspects of maharashtra before independence. That era is also known as "tilak-agarkar" era.<br />
<br />
Now Tembhu LIS project is costing Rs. 26&nbsp;billion. The project is likely to be declared as National Project<br />
<br />
On 10 August 2009, while testing the rising main an accident occurred; injuring 7 people and causing one death.<br />
