Hydrology
Based on rainfall data and other characteristics of the basin, the average annual yield of the Upper Bhima River basin has been assessed as 7,373 km3 (1,769 cu mi). Since the Bhima River which is a major tributary of the Krishna River is an interstate river, the flows are shared by the Upper riparian state of Maharashtra with the lower riparian Karnataka state. The Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal, in its award of 1976 permitted Maharashtra to use only 4,753 km3 (1,140 cu mi) from the Upper Bhima River Basin. The Bhima or Ujjani dam has planned annual utilization of 1,878 km3 (451 cu mi) (including evaporation losses).
