Bhavani rises in the silent valley in Palghat ranges in the
neighbouring state of Kerala,
after receiving Siruvani, it flows into Coimbatore
District where it gets reinforced by the Kundah River before entering
Erode District in Gopichettipalaiyam.
Bhavani is more or less a perennial river fed mostly by the South West
monsoon. North East monsoon also supplements its water resources. This
river runs for over hundred miles through Erode traversing through Bhavani
and Gopichettipalaiyam Taluks (also spelt as Taluka). It feeds the
Bhavanisagar reservoir, which takes an easterly course flowing through
Gopichettipalaiyam, Satyamangalam and Bhavani Taluks, before it ultimately
joins river Kaveri on the Salem borders.
