Pechiparai Dam Releases Water for Irrigation in Kanniyakumari

The government opened the Pechiparai dam to release water.

This water is for helping farmers grow their crops.

The release will last for about 9 months, irrigating about 79,000 acres of farmland.

The amount of water released will change depending on how much is available in the dam.

This will allow the farmers to have enough water for the crops like paddy, banana, and coconut.
