Ente Kuttanadu





Kuttanad

The study site lies in the Greater Kuttanad region, a low-lying zone of marshy and peaty lands, intersected by a myriad of waterways and has a complex network of rivers and rivulets, lakes, islands and sea inlets called the kayal or backwaters.  The central part of the backwaters in the State is dominated by a sizeable stretch of open water body called the Vembanad lake. The main part of Kuttanad region falls within Alleppey district, of which Alleppey town is the centre. A large portion of this area had been reclaimed in the past by constructing embankments along the submerged shoals within the lagoon body.
