The Pranhita is the most important tributary of the Godavari River which gets water from two important tributaries, namely the Wardha and the Wainganga. The combined waters of the Wainganga and the Wardha are called the Pranhita, which traverses for 113 km along the border between Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh before falling into the Godavari at an elevation of 107 m. The catchment area of the Pranhita and of all its tributaries is 109,077 km2 and lies in a medium rainfall zone of 889 mm to 1,600 mm (annual).
