Suvarnavathi Reservoir

India

The Suvarnavathi River, also called the Honnuhole or Honhole river, is a 88 kilometres (55 mi) southern tributary of the Kaveri River in the Indian states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Its drainage area is about 1,787 square kilometres (690 sq mi). The river begins at Badibadga in the Nasurghat hills of southern Karnataka's Mysore district as the convergence of two streams, the Niredurgihalla and Araikaduhalla. It is joined by two significant tributaries, the Chikkahole and the Yenehole, on its journey, generally to the east, to the Kaveri. The Suvarnavathi Reservoir, entirely in Karnataka, is formed by the Suvarnavathi Dam built across the river. The dam is adjacent to the Karnataka State Forest near Punajanur along the border between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
