Kuttanad Lake
Kuttanad Lake is part of the Kuttanad region in Alappuzha, Kerala, known as the "Rice Bowl of Kerala" for its extensive paddy fields, some of which are cultivated below sea level, a rare farming practice globally. The area features a unique landscape of backwaters, rivers, canals, and lush green fields separated by dykes, creating a scenic maze ideal for houseboat cruises. Kuttanad relies on rivers like the Pamba, Meenachil, and Achankovil, and the Vembanad wetland, which is India's second-largest, to maintain its water system.
The region faces challenges such as flooding and salinity intrusion, which have been partially addressed by infrastructure like the Thottappally Spillway and Thanneermukkam Bund to control water flow and support multiple rice crops annually. Kuttanad's rich agricultural tradition, combined with its natural beauty and vibrant culture, makes it a unique and significant area for farming and tourism in Kerala.
