The South Pennar River (also known as Dakshina Pinakini in #Kannada and #Thenpennai or Ponnaiyar or Pennaiyar in Tamil) is a river in India. Outskirts of Bangalore, Hosur, Tiruvannamalai, Cuddalore are the important cities on the banks of the #SouthPennarRiver. This is the #second-longestriver in Tamilnadu length of 500km. Whereas, Hosur and #Chengam are the major #industrial settlements.

The river originates in the #NandiHills in the #Chikkaballapura district of #Karnataka and flows through Tamil Nadu before emptying into the Bay of Bengal. It has a catchment area of 1,424 square miles (3,690 km2) located in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu states. Small dams of Kelavarapalli and Krishnagiri Dams are built across this #river near #Hosur and #Krishnagiri. The largest dam on this river, #SathanurDam with 7.3 Tmcft Gross Capacity is built near #Tiruvannamalai. #Moongilthuraipattu Sugar Factory is also situated on the bank of the river.

The river is dry for most part of the year. Water flows during the monsoon season when it is fed by the southwest monsoon in the catchment area and the northeast monsoon in Tamil Nadu. However, this water flow raises the water table throughout the river basin and feeds numerous reservoirs/tanks.

The old river Dakshina Pinakini does not exist anymore. A substantial part of 3#Bangalore's sewage enters this river via Bellandur and Varthur Lakes and other channels.

The sand build of the river is quite impressive, suggesting that it may have been a perennial river with a much larger water flow in the past. Mention of the river is found in Sangam and medieval (Tevaram - Bhakti cult era) literature, where it is depicted as rich with lush vegetation on its banks. There are various #temples on its banks. It irrigates Krishnagiri, #Dharmapuri, #Tiruvannamalai, #Vizhuppuram, and #Cuddalore districts and empties into the Bay of Bengal.

This river is now looted for its rich availability of #sand. As the water flow will be only in #monsoon seasons, the river is dry in the remaining parts of the #year.
