Part of the Siruvani River is near Mannarkkad in the Indian District of Palakkad, Kerala.

Banan Fort and the Siruvani Dam, are 15 to 25 kilometres (9 to 16 mi) west of Coimbatore city.

[citation needed] In 2012, the Government of Kerala proposed the construction of a check dam on the river to ensure use of the state's allocation of water under the Kaveri Tribunal.

[2] Tamil Nadu opposed this plan citing that it would disrupt water supply to the city of Coimbatore and would affect inflow into the River Bhavani, therefore affecting agriculture in the Erode and Tirupur districts.

[1][3] Tamil Nadu has threatened to take up the matter with the Supreme Court of India.
