The Pambar Dam was completed in 1983, primarily for flood control and irrigation purposes. It is built across the Pambar River, a tributary of the Thenpennai River, flowing through Krishnagiri and Tirupattur districts.

While the dam is modern, the Pambar River and its surrounding region have historical significance, with mentions of older structures like a '100 years old pambar dam bridge' built by the British government. The dam's watershed is crucial, supporting agriculture across over 2,501 acres in 12 villages of Uthangarai and more than 1,499 acres in the Harur block of Dharmapuri district.
