- The construction of the dam across the Markandeya River at Yargol in neighbouring Karnataka is likely to cast a shadow over the much-awaited Thenpennai-Palar river interlinking project.
- If the Karnataka government holds back water at the Yargol dam, it will lessen the flow into Pennaiyar.
- This will subsequently dim the prospects of the Krishnagiri dam receiving copious amount of water during the monsoon.
- This will have an adverse impact on the areas of northern Tamil Nadu downstream.
Note
- Thenpennai-Palar interlinking project envisages bringing 3 tmc water from Thenpennai river to Palar at Vaniyambadi in Tirupathur district.
- The project would benefit Vellore, Tirupathur and Ranipet districts.
