The Assistant Conservator of Forests and Assistant Director said that the Panchalinga Falls, which is the main source of water for the Thirumoorthy Dam, originates from the Shola forests at Picchichi Hills at an altitude of 2049 metres and has several tributaries joining together as panchalinga falls to meet the water needs of the people.

It is an essential duty to protect the shola forests which meet the water needs of mankind. It also protects humans from skin diseases and other diseases by protecting the ozone layer from being damaged by storing organic gases such as carbon emitted by factories and vehicles on their leaves.
