You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''South Pennar River''' (also known as '''Dakshina Pinakini''' in [[Kannada language|Kannada]] and ''Thenpennai or Ponnaiyar'' or ''Pennaiyar'' in [[Tamil language|Tamil]]) is a river in [[India]]. [[Bangalore]], [[Hosur]], [[Krishnagiri]],[[Kaveripattinam, Krishnagiri|Kaveripattinam]], and [[Cuddalore]] are the important cities on the banks of South Pennar river. This is the second longest river in [[Tamil Nadu]], with a length of 497&nbsp;km, after the [[Kaveri]]. [[Chandapura]], [[Anekal]], [[Hosur]], [[Bagalur, Hosur|Bagalur]], and [[Chengam]] are the major industrial settlements on its banks. The river is severely polluted by industrial waste as it flows through major industrial areas in the eastern suburbs of [[Bangalore]], Industrial parks of Hosur and Chengam.((citation needed|date=July 2022))

The river originates in the [[Nandi Hills, India|Nandi Hills]] in the [[Chikkaballapura district]] of Karnataka and flows through Tamil Nadu before emptying into the Bay of Bengal. It has a [[drainage basin|catchment area]] of ((convert|1424|mi2|km2)) located in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu states. Small dams of Kelavarapalli and [[Krishnagiri Dam]]s are built across this river near [[Hosur]] and Krishnagiri.<ref>[http://www.india9.com/i9show/Kelavarapalli-Dam-52422.htm Kelavarapalli dam]</ref> The largest dam on this river, [[Sathanur Reservoir|Sathanur Dam]] with 7.3 Tmcft Gross Capacity is built near Tiruvannamalai. [[Moongilthuraipattu]] Sugar Factory is also situated on the bank of river.((citation needed|date=July 2022))

The river is dry for the most part of the year. Water flows during the monsoon season when it is fed by the south-west monsoon in 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.<ref>((cite news |title=TN now lays claim to City sewage |author=P M Raghunandan |location=Bangalore |date=April 23, 2012 |url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/244394/tn-now-lays-claim-city.html |publisher=[[Deccan Herald]]  |access-date=19 August 2016))</ref>
Substantial part of [[Bangalore]]'s sewage enters this river via [[Bellandur Lake|Bellandur]] and [[Varthur Lake]]s and other channels.<ref>((cite news |title=Water from Krishnagiri dam raises a scare |author=S. Prasad |url=http://www.hindu.com/2005/04/19/stories/2005041911090300.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050419214906/http://www.hindu.com/2005/04/19/stories/2005041911090300.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=19 April 2005 |work=[[The Hindu]] |date=2005-04-19 |access-date=19 August 2016 ))</ref>

The sand build of the river is quite impressive, suggesting that it may have been a perennial river with much larger water flow in the past. Mention of the river is found in [[Sangam literature|Sangam]] and medieval ([[Tevaram]] - [[Bhakti]] cult era) literature, where it is depicted as rich with lush vegetation on its banks.  There are Famous temples on its banks like [[Penneswaraar Temple]],[[Shree Venkateshwara Swamy temple, Dakshina Tirupati]], [[Veerateeswarar Temple, Thirukovilur|Veerateshwarar Temple]] and [[Kabilar Kundru]] . It irrigates [[Chikkaballapur district]], [[Bengaluru Rural district]], [[Bengaluru Urban district]], [[Kolar district]][[Krishnagiri district]], [[Dharmapuri district]], [[Tiruvannamalai]], [[Viluppuram district]], and [[Cuddalore district]]. It splits into a delta on which [[Cuddalore]] town is located.((citation needed|date=February 2022))

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 remaining parts of the year.((citation needed|date=July 2022))
