Raichur is one of the districts of Karnataka situated along the southwest part of India. It is endowed with two major perennial rivers, the Krishna and Tungabhadra, which cover a total length of about 300 km. The water area of Tungabhadra reservoir is about 15,600 ha. There are 120 major and 218 minor tanks with water areas of 4,299 and 728 ha, respectively.
