The Thenmala dam is the second largest irrigation project in Kerala, India. It impounds the longest reservoir in the State and water from the reservoir is also used for power generation.
The dam was started in 1961 under the Kallada Irrigation and Tree Crop development project with an original cost of Rs. 13.28 crores
and revised estimate of Rs. 728 crores at the 1999 schedule of rates,
the cost escalation reported is 5356 per cent. The ayacut targeted was
61630 hectares (net) and 92800 hectares (gross).
Though the project was targeted for completion, and priority in
allocation was given during Ninth Plan, it could not be completed and
commissioned fully.
It is now a centre of attraction at Thenmala and an ecotourism destination, with boating available on the reservoir, which is bordered on both sides by the Shendurney Wildlife Sanctuary.
Thanks a Lot
