BACKWATERS

When a section of a river is near the coast or another feature that sets its base level, then the section which is influenced by the conditions at its mouth is termed a backwater. If a river flows into a lake or sea, this is the region in which the slope of the river decreases because the lower water flux permitted at the mouth causes the water to back up. Where the river outlet is strongly affected by tides, this cyclic change in base level changes the portion of the river that is a backwater. As a result fresh and salt water may become mixed to form an estuarine environment.

Kerala and backwaters are synonyms to one another. Known by the name of God’s    Own Country. It is really one of the best experiences of lifetime to hear the soothing  sound of ripples in the backwaters of Kerala, when you relax on the houseboats  away from the fast and hectic life of metros.

It's an intricate network of innumerable lagoons, lakes, canals, estuaries and the deltas of forty-four rivers that drain into the Arabian Sea. Over 900 km of this labyrinthine waterworld is navigable. The largest backwater stretch in Kerala is the Vembanad lake which flows through three districts and opens out into the sea at the Kochi port.
