The Manair River (also spelled Maner or Maneru) is a river in the Indian state of Telangana and a right-bank tributary of the Godavari River. It flows through the districts of Rajanna Sircilla, Karimnagar district, and Jayashankar Bhupalpally district, supporting irrigation, drinking water supply, and several major dams.[3]
The Manair originates in the Sircilla hills of Rajanna Sircilla district.[1] From its source, it flows southeast through Rajanna Sircilla and Karimnagar districts, and then east into Jayashankar Bhupalpally district. The river ultimately joins the Godavari River near Narmala village in Mahadevapur taluk, Jayashankar Bhupalpally district.[2] Along its course, it passes towns such as Sircilla and Karimnagar.
The total length of the river is estimated at 128 to 161 km, draining a catchment area of about 6,464 km².[2]
