How Ancient Kings Split a River & Fed Millions
Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to South India to film the ancient water management system of the Cholla Dynasty in the Cauvery River Delta. We visit multiple structures within the state of Tamil Nadu including the Kallanai Dam, the Ranganathaswamy Temple, and numerous smaller check dams which split the Cauvery River into a vast delta which is the rice-basket of South India. This ancient design when seen as a whole actually creates the largest inland water body in the entire country of India.
