The Water Resources Department has taken up repair of Tamaraipakkam check dam, one of the oldest structures across the Kosasthalaiyar in Tiruvallur district. This structure is meant to divert surplus water to meet Chennai’s requirement. Built in 1868 near Ammanambakkam in Tiruvallur district, the dam is at 15 km downstream of Poondi reservoir, a primary source of water for Chennai. Officials said water is diverted to the Cholavaram reservoir from here through the 13.20-km-long upper supply channel. The channel has a carrying capacity of 1,226 cubic feet per second (cusecs).
