Undoubtedly, the "Grand Anicut" dam duilt by the king "Karikaala Chola I" in South India is THE oldest in the world. It was built in 150 A.D. by unhewn stones across the historic river Cauveri. It is 300 meters long and helps in the irrigation of 1,000,000 acres of agricultural land. It is THE only oldest dam still in use by the government of Tamil Nadu, INDIA.
