Mullaiperiyar Dam

Mullaperyiar dam was built by British in 1895. It stands on Periyar river whose flow ordinates from Thekkady. The dam was built mainly for watering the paddy fields of Tamil Nadu perennially drought - prone. Even though the dam is now in Kerala, most of the water in the reservoir is still released to Tamil Nadu and is cause for considerable political tensions between the two states.The dam is 175 feet tall in height and is 5704 feet long.
