Kiliyur Falls is a waterfall on the Periyaaru river in the Servarayan hill range in the Eastern Ghats, Tamil nadu, India. The waters overflowing the Yercaud Lake fall 91 m (300 ft) into the Kiliyur Valley. [1] People need to walk down 200–250 steep steps from the nearest road to reach this waterfall. [citation needed]
The Periyaaru river originates from Pattipadi, Yercaud and is fed from many small streams along the way as it flows westwards. It creates the Kiliyur waterfalls at Kiliyur before reaching the Vattakaadu Eri weir. The river then continues to flow westwards, before joining the Sarabanga river.
Yercaud, also spelt Erkad, [note 1] is a town and hill station in Salem District in Tamil Nadu, India. Located in Servarayan Hills in the Eastern Ghats , it is situated at an altitude of 1,515 m (4,970 ft).
The utility posted a video of the dam the morning of Sept. 28, when water was receding by one feet each hour. The record flow of water over Nolichucky occurred late the night before.
Streamflow is one important route of water from the land to lakes and oceans. The other main routes are surface runoff (the flow of water from the land into nearby watercourses that occurs during precipitation and as a result of irrigation), flow of groundwater into surface waters, and the flow of water from constructed pipes and channels.

The Falls of Iguazú, on the border between Brazil and Argentina, registered a flow of 3.8 million gallons of water per second on Oct. 12, due to heavy rainfall in the area.
The water in this stream forms varying currents as it makes its way downhill. In hydrology, a current in a water body is the flow of water in any one particular direction. The current varies spatially as well as temporally, dependent upon the flow volume of water, stream gradient, and channel geometry.
The river was at 31.52 feet — more than 2 feet above flood stage of 29 feet. Evacuations have been issued for some locations.
