Together with its tributaries and streams, the Chittar River serves as an important source of irrigation for the region and is a major tributary of the Tambaraparani River along with the Manimuthar River. [1]TributariesThe Chittar has several tributaries which include the Aintharuviar (joining near Gajamajorpuram), the Gundar which joins near Tenkasi, the Hanumanathi joining in Thayar Thoppu near Veerakeralampudur and the Aluthakanniar which merges in the village of Kadapagothi.[1] IrrigationThe Chittar runs for about {{convert|80|km|mi}} before it meets with its first tributary which has an anicut and irrigates about {{convert|293|ha|acre}} of land. One of its next tributaries has a reservoir provided by an anicut, feeding about {{convert|142|ha|acre}}. The next tributary has seven anicuts and a reservoir and irrigates about {{convert|465|ha|acre}} of land altogether. This pattern continues as each tributary and other contributing rivers has anicuts and reservoirs that provide irrigation for the adjacent land.[3] The Chittar River itself has 17 anicuts irrigating about {{convert|8903|ha|acre}} of land. It eventually joins with Thamirabarani river. Notes1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web |url=http://www.nellai.tn.nic.in/rivers.html |title= Nellai.
