Many seasonal and few perennial rivers such as the Chittar River, the Manimuthar River, the Pachaiyar River and the Tambaraparani River originate in this region.

The falls carry a good amount of water only when there is a rain on the hills. Season begins from June of every year till September.

From October to December North East Monsoon sets over in Tamil Nadu and the climate is cold and the rains are very heavy sometimes. Sometimes the falls get flooded and people are not allowed to take bath during floods.There is a place famous for small and attractive five falls known as Aintharuvi.
