This dam constructed across the Siruvani River, is for supplying drinking water to the city of CoimbatoreinTamil Nadu. The dam is surrounded by reserve forests.

The famous 150-year-old Pattiyar Bungalow is on the banks of the Siruvani Reservoir. An agreement was executed in August 1973 between the state Governments for drinking water supply to Coimbatore town and neighbouring areas from the Siruvani Dam. The location being in the state of Kerala, the project was executed by the Kerala Public Works Department using the funds made available by the Tamil Nadu Government.
