The Kollidam River, historically known as the Coleroon, plays a vital hydrological role as the primary northern distributary of the Cauvery River. It is essential for flood control in the Cauvery delta region, managing surplus monsoon discharge. The site's identification marks a significant step in mapping the ancient hydraulic engineering practices in the Tamil Nadu delta districts.
