Sitamma Sagar Barrage, Water management barrage in Dummugudem, India.

The Sitamma Sagar Barrage extends 1,263 meters across the Godavari River, incorporating 52 spillways for precise water flow regulation and discharge management.

The barrage construction follows the legacy of the 150-year-old Dummugudem anicut, which served as a water crossing point during low flow periods.

The structure stands near Bhadrachalam, a temple town containing the Sita Ramachandraswamy Temple, recognized as the religious center of Telangana.

The barrage creates a reservoir capacity of 36.576 tmcft, enabling irrigation for 272,921 hectares of agricultural land in the Bhadradri Kothagudem district.

Eight bulb turbine units within the barrage structure generate 320 megawatts of hydroelectric power while managing water distribution across multiple districts.
