Installation of early-warning systems, construction of infrastructure that can resist overflow of water, and proper land-use planning are needed to reduce the impact of seasonal floods in Kerala, says the Kozhikode-based Centre for Water Resources Development and Management (CWRDM).
This is part of ‘Rivers and rain 2022: Assessing Kerala’s water sustainability, a status report’ published by the CWRDM recently. K. Naveena, T.M. Sharannya, M.C. Raicy, T.K. Drissia, U. Surendran, and Manoj P. Samuel are part of the team that prepared the report.
