It is situated nearby Vattamalaikkarai an hillock area.  Hence this dam is called VATTAMALAIKKARAI ODAI DAM.  Its capacity is 268 million cubic metres.  There were about 6060 channels made for water irrigation for the cultivated lands.  Due to the scarcity of water, this dam found dried for the past ten years.   Government of Tamil Nadu planned to bring the water source from the River Amaravathi.

There are many places like Utthamapalayam, Sengalipalayam, Veeracholapuram etc are very near to this Odai River.
