Kunderipallam Dam

Built across the Bhavani River, the dam's construction began in 1975 and was completed in 1980. With a height of 42 feet and a length of 2,174 meters, the dam has a reservoir capacity of 49.2 million cubic meters (1.72 Tmcft) and covers an area of approximately 2,500 hectares. It is a small dam, supporting agriculture on roughly 3000 acres (~1214 hectares), mostly by increasing the ground water level rather than direct canal irrigation. Steep hills with dense jungle take off on both the right and left (East and West) sides of the dam, where wild varieties of flora and fauna are seen. == Irrigation and Agriculture ==
