'''Siruvani dam''' is a dam in [[Palakkad District]], [[Kerala]] located 46 km away from [[Palakkad]] town. This dam constructed across the [[Siruvani River]], is for supplying drinking water to the city of [[Coimbatore]] in [[Tamil Nadu]]. The dam is surrounded by reserve forests. Muthikulam hill is situated on the eastern side of the dam. There is a natural waterfall in the hill. The waterfalls and the Dam are big tourist attractions. The famous 150-year-old Pattiyar Bungalow is on the banks of the Siruvani Reservoir.
An agreement was executed in August 1973 between the state Governments for drinking water supply to Coimbatore town and neighbouring areas from the Siruvani Dam. The location being in the state of Kerala, the project was executed by the Kerala Public Works Department using the funds made available by the Tamil Nadu Government.<ref>http://www.idrb.in/malayalam/images/pdf/dams.pdf{{dead link|date=May 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>http://india-wris.nrsc.gov.in/wrpinfo/images/d/d4/116.pdf</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cwc.nic.in/main/downloads/National%20Register%20of%20Large%20Dams%202009.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2011-06-30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721165130/http://www.cwc.nic.in/main/downloads/National%20Register%20of%20Large%20Dams%202009.pdf |archive-date=2011-07-21 }}</ref>
