Kakki Reservoir is a reservoir, located in Pathanamthitta district of Kerala, India.[1] The lake, which was created when Kakki Dam (9°19′31″N 77°08′31″E / 9.3253°N 77.1420°E / 9.3253; 77.1420) and Anathode dam (9°20′29″N 77°09′01″E / 9.3413°N 77.1503°E / 9.3413; 77.1503) were built, is on one of the tributaries of Pamba, the Kakki tributary. The dams were built in 1966 as part of the Sabarigiri Hydroelectric project.
