A t the confluence of Mullayar River and Periyar River is the masonry gravity dam , now referred to as “ Mullaperiyar Dam .” The Unique feature of this Dam is that the Dam is constructed on land and property of Kerala State and Government , whereas the operation and maintenance of The Dam is by Government of Tamil Nadu .
Constructed in late 19 th Century , After the Imperial British Crown struck a lease agreement for 999 years with the ruling Travancore Maharaja , Utilizing Lime stone , burnt brick powder and mixture of sugar with calcium oxide at a cost of 104 lakhs . The purpose was to divert periyar river water flow through subaltern tunnels into the stream of Vengai River deep in the territory of madras presidency with periyar river deep in the kingdom of Travancore . The diverted water thus was used to irrigate lands in Madurai province and surrounding semiarid and arid regions . Over the years the state of Tamil Nadu has not made available alternate source of irrigation and power supply for these parched regions , continuing to rely mainly on Kerala state ’ s depleting natural resource , which has been one of the many cause for tensions among the states concerned .
