The state of Telangana is primarily drained by two major peninsular rivers: the Godavari River and the Krishna River. Both rivers flow from west to east across the Deccan Plateau, traversing through Telangana.

These rivers and their tributaries form vital sources of water for irrigation, drinking water, and power generation in the state. Major projects like Kaleshwaram (Godavari) and Nagarjuna Sagar (Krishna) are located on these rivers.

The Godavari River is the largest river basin in Telangana, covering the northern and eastern parts, while the Krishna River basin covers the southern parts of the state. Tributaries like Bhima, Tungabhadra (of Krishna), and Manjira, Pranahita (of Godavari) also drain parts of the state.
