mullaperiyar is a dam constructed at idukki district. this dam was guaranteed an age of about 50 years only. but the dam now has an age of about 116 years & is having a great chance of failiure.
if the dam fails, the water stored in the dam flows into idukki dam & if that dam also fails to hold the large amount of water coming from mullaperiyar four districts of kerala has to face a massive destruction. the districts are idukki, alappey, ernakulam, & kottayam.
the only safety measure is to construct a new dam.
the authorities of govt. should plan a method to save maximum number of people if the dams fail before the construction of a new one.
