Location info:

Kundalika is a small river flowing from the hills of Sahyadri to the Arabian sea. This river originates at a small town called Bhira, 150 km south east of Mumbai. The important towns located on the banks of Kundalika are Kolad, Korlai, Chaul, Roha and Salav.

River Kundalika is fed by the excess water from Tata power's mulshi dam project on to a series of hydroelectric projects and dams, including Ravalje followed by Bhira and then dholvan, where the water is released in the morning typically at 6 am. The gush of the water reaches Sutarwadi at 7:30 am and water rises at kolad at 10:00 am.
