The river that passes through both Nanded in Maharashtra and Nirmal district in Telangana is the Godavari River. The Godavari River flows through Nanded district in Maharashtra, dividing it into hilly northern and low-lying southern regions. It then enters Telangana and flows along the border between Nirmal and Mancherial districts in the north and other districts to the south, including flowing through Nirmal district in Telangana.
