Aliyar Reservoir, Irrigation reservoir in Pollachi, Tamil Nadu, India
The Aliyar Reservoir spans 6.48 square kilometers at the base of Valparai hills, within the Anaimalai range of the Western Ghats mountains.
Construction of the Aliyar Dam began in 1959 and concluded in 1969, with Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru inaugurating the structure in October 1962.
The reservoir complex includes a Temple of Consciousness near its entrance, reflecting the spiritual significance of water bodies in Indian culture.
The reservoir maintains three discharge channels: the Pollachi Canal, Vettaikaranpudur Canal, and river sluices, supporting agricultural irrigation in the surrounding regions.
The water body hosts forty indigenous fish species and maintains research facilities operated by the Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute.
