'''Kanithi Balancing Reservoir''' (KBR) is a [[reservoir]] in [[Ukkunagaram]], [[Visakhapatnam]], [[India]]. <br />
It is the water source for the entire Vizag steel plant and steel plant township.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Visakhapatnam/LT-awarded-main-package-for-second-reservoir-of-RINL/article14484907.ece|title = L&T awarded main package for second reservoir of RINL|newspaper = The Hindu|date = 12 July 2016|last1 = Patnaik|first1 = Santosh}}</ref><br />
<br />
This large mass of water reservoir is for the captive consumption of the plant and the township alike and sits between the Township and the NH16. It draws its water from a special canal built exclusively for it from the [[Yeleswaram|Yeleru River]] flowing in [[East Godavari district]]. The reservoir spans 2.2&nbsp;km by 2.0&nbsp;km area with 0.5 [[Tmcft]] water storage capacity.<br />
<br />
Most of this fresh water consumption in the steel plant can be avoided by recycling the generated effluent water which is drained into the sea.<br />
