Meenar-1 Dam is a concrete, gravity dam constructed across Meenar river in Seethathodu village of Pathanamthitta district in Kerala, India. It is a diversion dam built as a part of Sabarigiri hydro electric project. [1]
Sabarigiri Hydro Electric Project (340 MW) is the second largest hydro electric project of Kerala and is located in Pathanamthitta district. This dam was constructed as a part of Sabaigiri Augmentation Scheme. The reservoir receives water from Kullar- Gavi reservoir and its own catchment. Water from this reservoir is diverted to Meenar – II reservoir through a tunnel. Taluks through which release flows to Pamba river and it flows through Ranni, Konni, Kozhencherry, Thiruvalla, Chengannur, Kuttanadu, Mavelikara and Karthikappally.[2]
