Peppara Dam

The Peppara Dam stretches across the Karamana River with a height of 36.5 meters, forming a substantial reservoir in the Western Ghats mountain range.

The Kerala Water Authority constructed this dam to address the growing water demands of Thiruvananthapuram city and its neighboring regions during the late 20th century.

The dam resides within the Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary, integrating water management infrastructure with natural habitat preservation according to Indian conservation principles.

The reservoir supplies drinking water to Thiruvananthapuram city and surrounding areas while supporting local agricultural activities through controlled water distribution systems.

The dam's location inside a protected wildlife sanctuary creates a natural corridor for diverse species, including rare flora and fauna native to the Western Ghats.
