Mullaperiyar Dam
Context
In the Supreme Court, Tamil Nadu accused Kerala of both "wilfully obstructing" work that was necessary to repair the over 125-year-old Mullaperiyar dam and "crying foul" over its safety.
About
- Location: On the Periyar River in Kerala's Idukki district
- Its building was finished in 1895.
- The dam was built to redirect the waters of the west-flowing River Periyar eastward, into the dry areas that receive rain shadows in the Tamil Nadu districts of Theni, Madurai, Sivaganga, and Ramanathapuram.
- The dam was constructed to supply the temple town of Madurai in Tamil Nadu with the water it needs.
- For this reason, the Tamil Nadu government runs the dam even though it is located in Kerala.
- The operational rights were given to Tamil Nadu in accordance with a 999-year lease agreement made during British rule.
