River Gosthani
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
River Gosthani is medium sized east flowing river in Andhra Pradesh, India.
It is originated in the Ananthagiri Hills of Eastern Ghats.
Borra Caves are formed at its origin, probably the result of erosion of the lime stones by flowing waters of this river.
It flows down the hills mostly in Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam districts.
Thatipudi Reservoir Project [1] was constructed across Gosthani River during 1963-1968. The Project is located near Thatipudi village, Gantyada Mandal, Vizianagaram District. The aim of this project is to irrigate a total ayacut of 15,378 acres in Vizianagaram District and to provide drinking water to Visakhapatnam City. The project utilizes about 3 TMC of the available water. The reservoir storage capacity is about 3 TMC.
It joins the Bay of Bengal at the historical town Bheemunipatnam.
