Low flow at Courtallam waterfalls disappoints tourists
Scanty rains have reduced inflows to Courtallam waterfalls, leaving many visiting tourists disappointed.
Courtallam (Kutralam) and nearby falls are experiencing reduced water flow, with many waterfalls now carrying only small amounts of water. Only about ten days of heavy rain were recorded in early June, leading to lower overall inflows.
Despite crowds of visitors during the holiday period, several popular falls such as Suruli Theertham, Kumbakkarai and Chinna Suruli had insufficient water for bathing, leaving many tourists disappointed.
Lower-than-usual rainfall during the southwest and northeastern spells has also reduced reservoir inflows in the region, affecting both visitors and local businesses dependent on tourism.
