There is least possibility to construct new reservoirs in the river basin area due to land submergence and displacement of population. However, a freshwater [[coastal reservoir]], located on the adjacent sea,  with adequate storage capacity (nearly 29 billion m<sup>3</sup>) is economically feasible to harness the remaining unutilized water in the river.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Sasidhar |first=Nallapaneni |date=May 2023 |title=Multipurpose Freshwater Coastal Reservoirs and Their Role in Mitigating Climate Change |url=https://www.ijee.latticescipub.com/wp-content/uploads/papers/v3i1/A1842053123.pdf |access-date=16 May 2024 |journal=Indian Journal of Environment Engineering |issn=2582-9289 |volume=3 |issue=1|pages=31–46 |doi=10.54105/ijee.A1842.053123 |s2cid=258753397 }}</ref>
