A stretch of the Noyyal river near Perur has been restored through the joint effort of Siruthuli, a Coimbatore-based environmental organisation, and the Water Resources Department (WRD). The work began in January 2026.
The restoration covered nearly 2 km between Perur Padithurai and Kurichi anaicut, and entailed desilting the riverbed, restoring bunds to their original dimensions and strengthening embankments to improve water flow.
