KRP DAM. One of the largest in India.
Another known reservoir in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu is the Krishnagiri reservoir. This reservoir in Tamil Nadu was founded upstream of Sathanur Dam. Even if the Krishnagiri reservoir occupies the same area to that of the dam, the reservoir is much shallower. The native species commonly available in the Krishnagiri reservoir were preserved but seldom used for commercial purposes. The species available in this reservoir are P. sarana, M. vittatus, Notopterus sp., Ompok bimaculatus, murrels and others. A year after, species like rohu, catla, mrigal, L. fimbriatus, C. cirrhosa, L. calbasu, C. carpio, C. reba, L. kontius, Oreochromis mossambicus, P. dubius and Rhinomugil corsula are also stocked. Initially, breeding rate was very high, but now it has become moderate. This was a healthy drift, demonstrating the achievement of proper preservation. The present yield of the reservoir is just 10.6 kg/ha/year with a range of 8.61 to 13.00 kg every hectare. Another 7.5 MWatts of capacity is being added.
