Kerala should explore the possibility to create a storage dam on Achenkovil river for flood moderation and other multi-purpose use, according to N.N. Rai, Director, Hydrology (South) of the Central Water Commission (CWC).
"There is no storage dam on Achenkovil River. During the heavy rainfall, the runoff generated from the catchment of this river causes heavy flooding in the downstream area and some relief from flooding in these areas can be realized by storing the flood water in a storage dam," he told The Hindu.
Mr. Rai said that some additional water storage possibility should also be explored in Pampa sub-basin for flood moderation.
