Cauvery and its tributaries and their hinterland neighbourhood have natural sanctuaries of wild life and floral wealth, coromondel shrub forests and mangroves representing echo systems which have nurtured biological diversity.

Two major dams were constructed on the river. One at Krishna Raja Sagar and the other at Mettur in the twenties and thirties of the 20th century. The river systems have a reasonable flow only five months in the year.
