Kerala was supposed to receive 7.25 TMC feet of water per year from the Parambikulam Aliyar Project, according to the state agreement with Tamil Nadu. The Parambikulam Dam is a part of Parambikulam Aliyar Project. In 2004, Kerala did not receive any water until February. Thus paddy in thousands of acres in Chittur taluk dried.
