The polavaram project is a massive irrigation project being constructed on the godavari river in Andhra Pradesh. It is a national project, which means it is supported by the central government. The project reservoir stretches 150 km on the main river. 115 km upstream of the Sabari River, it extends into parts of the states of chhattisgarh and Odisha. The project will enhance tourism in the area with Papikonda National Park, a hydroelectric power station, national waterway (under construction) as it is 40 km from Sir Arthur Cotton Barrage in rajamahendravaram City and 25 km from rajahmundry Airport.

India's National River-Linking Project aims to address water scarcity. The plan is to divert excess water from Himalayan rivers to rivers in South India. This massive project consists of 30 river links, 14,900 km with an estimated budget of $120 billion in 1999. It is the largest infrastructure project in the world. While there is excess water in the godavari river, there is not enough water in the krishna River. In 2008, 644 billion cubic feet of godavari river water flowed unnecessarily into the sea. By 2017, this number had increased to 3,000 billion cubic feet. A study suggests that surplus water from the Godavari should be diverted to the krishna river basin to meet future water needs (estimated by 2025).
