Inlet and Outlet : The tank has two main feeding sources, Koilmedu and Karperayan. It also receives water from the Noyyal River through the Chitrachavadi channel. The Karperayan stream which is bigger than the Koilmedu drain, comes from the Marudamalai forest area and directly joins the tank. Koilmedu receives water from the research farm area of Tamilnadu Agricultural University.
