The plant's non-operational status may impact local water quality in the surrounding area.

The plant is situated in the Krishna River basin, a major river system in peninsular India that flows eastward into the Bay of Bengal. The Krishna River and its tributaries support diverse aquatic life and provide water for irrigation and drinking. The non-operational status of the plant could lead to untreated wastewater entering local streams, affecting downstream water quality and ecosystems. The region's climate is tropical, with monsoon rains influencing seasonal flow patterns.
