  The Mahanadi River flows slowly for 900 kilometres and has an estimated drainage area of 132,100 square kilometres. It deposits more silt than almost any other river in the Indian subcontinent.
  The area of the drainage basin is 141,464 km². The interior coastal plain has a relatively low elevation. The average elevation of the drainage basin is 426 m, with a maximum of 877 m and a minimum of 193 m.
