About
The Manimuthar Dam is located in Manimutharu 50.8 kilometres (31.6 mi) away from Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu, India. It is the biggest reservoir of the Tirunelveli district. This dam was built in 1958 near Singampatti and Kallidaikurichi, by the then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K. Kamaraj, and K T Kosalram MP to prevent the drainage of surplus rainwaters with the Bay of Bengal during the rainy season. It can hold water up to 118 feet. The dam's storage capacity is 5,511 million cubic feet.
