According to the local people, the dam site at Nilikkal is known as Sairandhripuzha as the entire area comes under the Sairandhri forests forming part of the park.
After Nilikkal, the area is known as Pathrakadavu and further down, the river is called Kunthipuzha where it joins the Thuthapuzha to form the Bharathapuzha.
Tony Thomas, an environmentalist, told The Hindu that if the dam was constructed at Nilikkal, all the three major waterfalls of the Kunti river would be lost.

Its tributaries like the Kannadipuzha, Kalpathipuzha, Gayathripuzha and Thuthapuzha have also dried up, resulting in acute drinking water shortage in parts of Palakkad, Thrissur and Malappuram districts.
The non-implementation of the 18 major recommendations of the Expert Committee on Bharathapuzha constituted by the Kerala Government in 1994 has led to the present scenario.
