The dam is surrounded on one side by forest and on the other by Tata Tea Plantation. The dam is located near the Munnar - Kumily road. The water flowing from the dam reaches Kuthungal and Ponmudi dams through the Panniyar river. Power is generated at Kuthungal and Panniyar powerhouses. The dam stores water from small streams flowing from Bealram and rainwater flowing from the hills on the Tamil Nadu border. The height of the dam is 34.14 metres (112.0 ft) and Length is 326.13 metres (1, 070.0 ft). The reservoir usually fills up in June and July.

This water is then diverted to Panniyar Power station located on the left bank of Muthirapuzha and released back to Muthirapuzha River and flow
