About Aathupalayam Dam
The Aathupalayam Dam is situated in Karvazhi village of K. Paramathi taluk in Karur district. The parched aycut area has not been receiving supplies as the Aathupalayam reservoir had become a storage tank for Orathuppalayam polluted water flowing down the River Noyyal over the past few years.
