Sri Ram Sagar is a reservoir across the River Godavari near Nirmal town in Telangana, India.
The reservoir is formed by the Pochampad Dam. It was constructed to serve the farmers of Telangana. When completed, it could hold 120 Million Cubic Metres of water at its peak. Its back waters extended into the neighboring state of Maharashtra, at least 150 kilometres (93 mi) from the actual site of the dam. The present capacity of the reservoir is 88.7 Million Cubic Metres as of 2008. The reduction in capacity has been attributed to the silt that accumulated on the riverbed, a characteristic of the River Godavari.
