Cholan Book of World Records(CBWR) was started in the name of King Karikala cholan who made the world oldest dam with the intention of uplift irrigation thereby avoiding disaster of corps due to floods. The dam has a strong foundation as well as a solid design. Due to its stunning engineering, the dam is still an inspiration to most of the modern dams.
It is a world record and wonder.
Kallanai (is also known as Grand Anicut) is an incisive water flow system built by Karikala Cholan by his great engineering expertise. The main aim behind building a dam was to encourage irrigation. This was also constructed as a barrier across the river Kaveri, by means of protecting his kingdom from flooding. The dam was originally constructed by about 2000 years ago. Later on the 19th century, the British Captain Caldwell re-modeled the dam to cater irrigation needs.
About the Dam
It was an insightful construction to divert the river Kaveri to the delta districts to uplift irrigation thereby avoiding disaster of corps due to floods. The dam has a strong foundation as well as a solid design. Due to its stunning engineering, the dam is still an inspiration to most of the modern dams and Kallanai dam is still used for various irrigation needs in Tamil Nadu. Because of its spectacular architecture, it’s one of the prime tourist spots in Tamil Nadu.
The typical anatomy of Kallanai dam include the big stones sunk in the Kaveri river to reroute the water flow to the delta region. The British military engineer, Captain Caldwell was appointed in 1804 to study and promote irrigation to deltas. During the research he observed that majority of water is flowing to Kollidam and only a slight volume of water is left at Kallanai dam for irrigation at delta areas. Later as per the advice of Captain Caldwell, the capacity of the Kallanai dam was raised by height.
It is the world ancient first dam made of roughly cemented stone and is 1,080 feet long and 60 feet wide, across the main stream of the Cauvery. The area is irrigated by the ancient irrigation network of which the dam was the centrepiece, covering about 69,000 acres. By the early 20th century, the irrigated area had increased to about 1,000,000 acres.
