Kerala is a land of rivers and backwaters. Forty-four rivers (41 west-flowing
and 3 east-flowing} criss-cross the state physique along with countless runlets.
During summer, these monsoon-fed rivers will turn into rivulets especially in
the upper parts of Kerala.
Backwaters
are an attractive, economically valuable feature of Kerala. These include lakes
and ocean in lets which stretch irregularly along the Kerala coast. The biggest
among these backwaters is the Vembanad lake, with an area of 200 sq km, which
opens out into the Arabian Sea at Cochin port.
The Periyar, Pamba, Manimala, Achenkovil, Meenachil and Moovattupuzha rivers
drain into this lake.The other important backwaters are Veli, Kadhinam kulam,
Anjengo (Anju Thengu),Edava, Nadayara, Paravoor. Ashtamudi (Quilon).
Kerala may be divided into three geographical regions:
(1) High lands, (2) Midlands and (3) Lowlands.
The Highlands slope down from the Western Ghats which rise to an average height
of 900 m, with a number of peaks well over 1,800 m in height. This is the area
of major plantations like tea, coffee, rubber, cardamom and other spices.
The Midlands, lying between the mountains and the lowlands, is made up of undulating
hills and valleys. This is an area of intensive cultivation. Cashew, coconut,
areca nut, cassava (tapioca), banana, rice, ginger, pepper, sugarcane and vegetables
of myriad varieties are grown in this area.
The Lowlands or the coastal area, made up of river deltas, backwaters and the
Arabian coast, is essentially a land of coconuts and rice. Fisheries and coif
industry constitute the major industries of this area.
