The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) identified seven pollution sources in the Tunga River. The district administration is investigating encroachments along its banks. The Tunga River flows through Karnataka, originating from Varaha Parvata in the Western Ghats. It merges with the Bhadra River at Koodli, forming the Tungabhadra River, which later joins the Krishna River in Andhra Pradesh. Known for its pristine waters, it has religious sites like Sringeri, Sarada Temple, and Vidyasankara Temple. The Gajanur Dam, an S-shaped dam, is built over the river.
