The primary purpose of the Malankara Dam is to provide irrigation water for agricultural activities in the surrounding areas. The dam helps in regulating the flow of water and ensures a steady supply for irrigation during the dry season.
The Malankara Dam is a masonry gravity dam, which means it is constructed using stone or concrete blocks and relies on its weight to resist the force of water. The dam is built across the Malankara Lake, creating a reservoir that stores water during the monsoon season.
The reservoir created by the Malankara Dam offers picturesque views and serves as a water source for agricultural purposes. The area around the reservoir is surrounded by lush greenery and provides a serene and tranquil environment.
The Malankara Dam and its reservoir attract tourists who visit to enjoy the scenic beauty and engage in activities like boating, fishing, and picnicking. The calm waters of the reservoir provide a pleasant setting for relaxation and recreation.
