mullai

Mullai, also known as Mullai Periyar, is a river in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It originates from the Mullaiyur Anicut, a small reservoir located in the Salem district. The river flows through the Salem and Namakkal districts before joining the Kaveri River, a major tributary of the Cauvery River. Mullai Periyar is an important water source for irrigation and drinking water in the region. It is also known for its scenic beauty, with lush greenery and numerous waterfalls along its course. The river plays a significant role in the local economy, supporting agriculture and providing livelihoods for the communities that live along its banks. However, like many rivers in the region, Mullai Periyar faces challenges related to pollution and water scarcity due to increasing urbanization and industrialization. Efforts are being made to conserve and protect the river through various environmental initiatives.
