The Vedganga River rises at an elevation of 900 m in the [[Kolhapur District]] of [[Maharashtra State]] from the eastern slopes of the [[Western Ghats]]. The river flows mostly north-eastwards in Maharashtra State and thereafter continues to flow eastwards in Karnataka state to join the [[Dudhganga River]] at Barawad in Karnataka, [[Dudhganga River]] flowing eastwards joining the [[Krishna River]] in Kallol Yedur in Karnataka from the right bank.<ref name="Wapcos">{{Cite web |url=http://powermin.nic.in/whats_new/PFR/Maharastra/Hiranyakeshi.pdf |title=PFR Studies of Hiranyakeshi Hydroelectric Project |access-date=2014-08-31 |archive-date=2016-03-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304040923/http://powermin.nic.in/whats_new/PFR/Maharastra/Hiranyakeshi.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The rugged terrain is cut with valleys of dentritic pattern of streams feeding the tributaries of the Krishna River system. The sub-tributaries and tributaries of Ghatprabha and Malprabha located on the right bank of the Krishna River offer good sites for hydro-electric development through dam-toe-power stations.<ref name="Wapcos" />
