Mathoor Aqueduct, locally known as Mathoor Thottipalam,was constructed in 1966 by the then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Karmaveerar Kamarajar, as a drought relief measure.
Aqueduct is built across the Parali river, to carry water of the Pattanamkal canal for irrigation over the Parali, from one hill to another, for a distance of close to 1km.
Mathoor Aqueduct is a concrete structure supported by 28 huge pillars, the maximum height of the pillars reaching 115 ft. The trough structure is 7 ft in height, with a width of 7.5 ft. The trough is partly covered with concrete slabs, allowing people to walk on the bridge and to see the water going through the trough.
It stands out as a significant attraction in Kanyakumari.
