'''Soorappallam''' is a village located 1&nbsp;km away from [[Pattukkottai]] town in [[Thanjavur]] district in [[Tamil Nadu]] state in [[India]] on the way to [[Mannargudi]] and [[Kumbakonam]] via [[Vadaseri]].<br />
<br />
Soorappallam, a part of [[Pattukkottai taluk]], is most fertile as the land is with rich content of alluvial soil, deposited by the river flowing across the region through [[Kallanai]] canal which is one of the distributaries for the [[Cauvery]] river.<br />

<br />
== Employment ==<br />
<br />
In this village, historically, the main occupation has been [[Tillage|cultivation]], and it provides employment for most of the people as the water resource is available either by [[Bore-Well]] pumps or water flowing in the Cauvery river as this village lies in the tail-end area of the delta region formed by the cauvery river and other water resources that includes a great lake and many ponds. The crops cultivated here are [[peanut|groundnut]], [[sesame]], [[coconut]], [[black gram]], [[maize]], [[sugarcane]] and [[banana tree]] while the main crop is [[Paddy (unmilled rice)|paddy]] ([[rice]]). But nowadays, it is evident that the importance for the agriculture goes on decreasing due to many factors. Some of them are rain deficiency, not receiving water in time from mettur dam, not getting the affordable price for the yielded grains, and soaring labour cost. Many village youngsters have been leaving for and working in many foreign countries such as [[United States|USA]], [[United Kingdom|UK]], [[Singapore]], [[Malaysia]], and [[Middle East]] etc. as they claim this is the best way to earn a large amount of money in very short time that easily outweighs the revenue in agriculture.<br />
<br />
== Climate ==<br />
As basically India is a tropical country, This village is very hot in summer season (April–July) and the rainy season lies in three months from October to December.
