Low water flow at Kuttralam falls leaves tourists disappointed
Reduced flow at Kuttralam falls has left many visitors unable to bathe as usual; weak monsoon rains have caused the shortfall.
Water flow at the Kuttralam waterfalls near Tenkasi has dropped significantly, leaving the falls reduced to thin streams in many spots. Despite a large number of holiday visitors, insufficient water has prevented normal bathing and enjoyment at the falls.
Tourists continued to flock to the site, but the decreased discharge meant that visitors could not use the falls as they usually would. In some rocky sections only a small trickle of water was visible, affecting the visitor experience.
Local reports say the situation is linked to the weak onset of monsoon rains in the area; authorities and residents expect water levels to improve only when the western monsoon brings sustained rainfall.
