The pioneering work in this respect was done by Karikāla I, a Cola King, belonging to the close of the first century A.D. He erected embankments to control the river Kaveri. For utilising the water of the river Karikāla cut a number of canals so that water could reach the fields (Aiyangar, PTS; pp. 360 ff; Aiyangar SK. pp. 93 ff; Sastri, pp. 26 ff; Dikshitar, pp. 71ff).
