By virtue of its extensive network of tributaries, the river drains all of [[Vidarbha]] region in [[Maharashtra]], as well as the southern slopes of the [[Satpura Range]]s. It flows along the border of [[Gadchiroli district]] in [[Maharashtra]] and [[Adilabad district]] in [[Telangana]].

|
| |
| The Pranhita River begins at the confluence of two extensive rivers: the [[Wardha River|Wardha]] (catchment area: 46,237 km<sup>2</sup>) and the [[Wainganga River|Wainganga]] (catchment area: 49,677 km<sup>2</sup>). This junction lies on the border between the states of [[Maharashtra]] and [[Telangana]] near Kouthala (near Sirpur (T)). Right at the onset, the river enjoys a wide river bed.
| |
|
| |
| ==Course==
| |
| The Pranhita River follows a short course of 113 kilometers, strictly adhering to the boundary between [[Gadchiroli district]] in [[Maharashtra]] and [[Adilabad district]] in [[Telangana]]. The direction of flow is southward, unlike most rivers of the [[Deccan Plateau]]. Along its course, the river is flanked by thick forests and harbors a rich biodiversity of flora and fauna. After completing its short journey, the river empties itself into the [[Godavari River]] at [[Kaleshwaram|Kaleswaram]].
| |
|
| |
| ==Dams==
| |
| The Pranhita River currently does not have any dams built on it. However, a water project to construct a barrage is currently underway. This project, the [[Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project]], has an estimated cost of Rs.38,500 crore and is a project the Indian state of [[Telangana]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/telangana/submergence-irrigation-issues-continue-to-dog-pranahita-project/article7252445.ece|title=Submergence, irrigation issues continue to dog Pranahita project|website=Thehindu.com|access-date=20 August 2017}}</ref>
| |
|
| |
| ==Uses==
| |
| The River is used for water transport between [[Sironcha]] and [[Kaleshwaram|Kaleswaram]]. It is also one of twelve rivers in the [[Pushkaram]], a festival in Hindu traditions.
