Extracted from the Wikipedia article Palar River.
Palar river water from Palar anicut is diverted to the Poondi reservoir located in the Kosasthalaiyar River basin and to Chembarambakkam Lake located in the Adayar River basin. These two reservoirs are major water supply points to Chennai city. After commissioning of the Telugu Ganga project to supply nearly 1,000,000,000 litres (260,000,000 US gal) per day of Krishna River water to the Chennai city, the dependence on Palar river water has reduced drastically.
