The Nilgiris: Ralliah Dam in Coonoor is one of the primary sources of drinking water with a total capacity of 30.2 ft of water.
The water in the dam is regularly cleansed and directed through pipes to the 30 wards in Coonoor. In recent times, drinking water is being supplied only once in a fortnight due to shortage of water which has caused inconvenience to residents. Moreover, hotels and shops in Coonoor depend on paid water cans. Officials have reassured that if the heavy rains lashing Nilgiris continue, the water scarcity can be managed in spite of the water levels in Ralliah Dam receding.
