The Walayar Dam is in which district of Kerala?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Palakkad.
The Walayar Dam is located in the Palakkad district of Kerala. It is situated on the Walayar River, a tributary of the Kalpathipuzha River, and serves irrigation and water supply needs.
Other Options:
-
Idukki: Known for the Idukki Dam, one of India's tallest arch dams, but not the Walayar Dam.
-
Kasaragod: Located in northern Kerala, it has the Kakkadavu Dam, not Walayar.
-
Thrissur: Home to dams like Peechi and Chimmini, but Walayar is not in this district.
Thus, the correct answer is Palakkad, as the Walayar Dam is a key water resource in this border district near Tamil Nadu.
