It was once a celebrated natural channel which supplied water for irrigation of lands in the surrounding areas it runs through. Being one of the minor tributaries to [[River Kaveri]], the canal gets sourced by rain through smaller [[rivulet]]s and the seepage from [[LBP Canal]].<br /> <br /> It starts near [[Chithode]] and ends its travel by inflowing into [[River Kaveri]] near [[RN Pudur]]. It runs for a length of {{convert|7|km|mi}} through the areas of Sottaiyampalayam and [[Suriyampalayam]].<br /> <br /> ==Environmental Issues==<br /> In the recent days, a number of Tanneries, dyeing units, textile mills and bleaching units has been established in this zone of [[Erode Municipal Corporation]]. The higher industrialization rate in this zone has caused adverse effects to this canal. It faces a lot of hazards and the water turns purple often due to the mix of untreated effluents that gets released into them from the nearby tanneries, dyeing and bleaching units.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news<br /> |url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/sunnambu-odai-turns-purple-and-erode-farmers-pale/article2688099.ece<br /> |title=Sunnambu Odai turns purple and Erode farmers, pale|publisher=[[The Hindu]]|accessdate=27 January 2018}}&lt;/ref&gt; The Government along with some other civic agencies has taken several measures to control pollution in this canal, by implement some biological and mechanical treatment methodologies with aid from Norway-based companies.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news<br /> |url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/sunnambu-odai-tnau-report-awaited/article5604193.ece<br /> |title=Sunnambu Odai: TNAU report awaited|publisher=[[The Hindu]]|accessdate=27 January 2018}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Perumpallam Canal]]<br /> * [[Pichaikaranpallam Canal]]<br /> * [[Nanjai Uthukuli Canal]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{coord|11.387524|77.695874|display=title}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Erode district]]<br /> [[Category:Canals in Tamil Nadu]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Erode-geo-stub}}</div>
