Shanigaram Reservoir (Telugu:శనిగరం జలాశయం) also known as Shanigaram Cheruvu is a medium irrigation project constructed across the Shanigaram River, at Shanigaram Village, Siddipet District, Telangana.
This is one of the oldest reservoir constructed in 1891 under Nizam rule. Project construction cost was 560 seers (504 kg) of gold.
As part of Sriram Sagar Stage-II work, this reservoir will be filled by lift canal from Thotapally Reservoir in which water carried from Mid Manair through MMD Right Canal. Both Reservoirs and MMD Right Canal construction is in progress,[when?]; it is expected to finish by end of 2015.[citation needed]
