Kodiveri Dam, is located on the Bhavani river near Gobichettipalayam in Western Tamil Nadu.[1] The dam is situated along the State Highway 15 about {{convert|15|km|abbr=on}} from Gobichettipalayam towards Sathyamangalam.

History

It was constructed by Kongalvan in the year 1125 AD.[2][3] Creating the dam consisted of carving a 20-foot wall of rock. The stones were then interlocked with iron bars and lead was used as mortar. These features, however, are not visible except in the dry season when the water level in the river drops considerably.[4]

Hydrography

The dam is built on the Bhavani river. Two channels arise from the dam, Arakkankottai on the northern side of Bhavani river and Thadapalli on the southern side.[5] Lands north of Gobichettipalayam are irrigated by Thadapalli channel and cultivation of sugarcane and paddy are predominant in this area. The dam irrigates an area of {{convert|24504|acre}}.[6]

Recreation

The dam is a popular tourist spot. The park, associated play area and coracle rides are the main attractions.[7]
