Nagarjuna Sagar tail pond, Hydroelectric reservoir in Nalgonda District, India
The Nagarjuna Sagar tail pond extends across 21 kilometers downstream from the main dam, storing 6 trillion cubic feet of water from the Krishna River.
The reservoir began operations in 2008 and reached completion in 2014, integrating with the existing 810-megawatt power station at the Nagarjuna Sagar dam.
This water infrastructure represents Indian engineering capabilities, combining traditional water management principles with modern hydroelectric technology.
The reservoir enables water recycling through seven 100-megawatt reversible turbines, supporting irrigation needs across multiple districts in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
The tail pond receives water transfers from the Godavari River through the Dummugudem Lift Irrigation Scheme, facilitating inter-basin water distribution.
