Peppara Dam
The Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary constitutes the catchments of the Peppara Dam on the Karamana River near Thiruvananthapuram, India.
The Peppara Dam was commissioned in 1983 to augment the drinking water supply to Thiruvananthapuram
city and suburban areas. Considering the ecological significance of the
area, it was declared a sanctuary in 1983. The area was formerly a part
of the Paruthippally range of the Thiruvananthapuram Territorial
Division. Forests consist of part of the Palode reserve (24 square
kilometres (9.3 sq mi)) and part of Kottoor reserve (29 square
kilometres (11 sq mi)). The total water spread of the reservoir is 5.82
square kilometres (2.25 sq mi). Recently, a joint effort has been made
by Kerala
Tourism with the State Forest Department and the Kerala Water Authority
to beautify the dam site and provide more entertainment and leisure
facilities here.
