8.1 WATER SUPPLY
8.1.1 Source of Water Supply
The existing water supply scheme for Gudiyattam town was commissioned in the
year 1908 with river Goundanya Maganadhi as source. This scheme was designed
for the population of 22,650 @ 66lpcd. In Gudiyattam Town the main sources of
water are from the Goundanya and Palar River. There are two waterworks schemes,
where as first head work is located at Goundanya River at Bodipet, 2 km away from
the town and the other is located at Palar River at Pasumathur which is 10 km away
from the town. Since the Goundanya source was not a perennial source it was
proposed to take the water from palar river which was commissioned during 1976.
The Figure 8.1 & 8.2 shows the Bodipet & pasumathur head works.
