Urumi 2 Weir' is a small diversion dam constructed across Poyilingalpuzha in Thiruvambady village of Kozhikode district in Kerala, India.[1] The weir is constructed across the Poyilingalpuzha river, downstream of Urumi I power house to divert water to Urumi II power house. This is located in Thiruvambady, 50 km away from Kozhikode town. The water from the reservoir is drawn to the Power House through a power channel 470 m long.[2] The Urumi falls near the dam has become a tourist attraction after the hydro electric project came into existence.[3]
