 * Symbol question.svg 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Image is freely licensed and appears in the article. QPQ done. However, the hook is textbookish rather than hooky. Could you suggest something else? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 10:29, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. Matter of fact article, hence difficult to find an interesting hook. However, I am suggesting two alternative hooks.

ALT1 Hook ...that the interlinking of the Perunchani (pictured) and Chittar dams provides an additional irrigation potential of 15,000 acres (6,100 ha) in the system?

ALT2 Hook ... that the Perunchani Dam (pictured) was constructed between 1948-1953 by the then Travancore-Cochin State? -- Nvvchar . 12:19, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Could we name the system in ALT1?
 * ALT3: ... that the interlinking of the Perunchani (pictured) and Chittar Dams provides an additional irrigation potential of 15,000 acres (6,100 ha) in the Kodiyar Irrigation System? Yoninah (talk) 13:11, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, ALT3 would be fine. Thanks. -- Nvvchar . 14:51, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Great. Since I just filled in the name of the system, I'm going ahead and approving this. Hook ref verified and cited inline. ALT3 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 17:18, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
