Abstract

This paper presents an overview of Thanneermukkom bund with its implications on water security in the region as a freshwater reservoir in the southwest coast of India. The bund was constructed in 1974 to convert southern part of brackish Vembanad Lake into a freshwater reservoir to augment agricultural activities. This paper reviews past studies on the bund and highlights the fact that it is a coastal reservoir though the term coastal reservoir became popular only in the last two decades. The bund divides the Vembanad Lake into a freshwater lake in the south and brackish water lake fed by the ocean in the north. This paper reviews the issues and challenges related to the inefficient operation of the bund and presents possible solutions. The paper proposes to restore this unique coastal reservoir to ensure freshwater supply for drinking and irrigation in the low lands of Kuttanad.
喀拉拉邦库塔纳德沿海水库Thanneermukkom堤岸评价
本文概述了Thanneermukkom堤岸及其作为印度西南海岸淡水水库对该地区水安全的影响。该堤岸建于1974年,旨在将微咸的维姆巴纳德湖南部改造成淡水水库,以增加农业活动。本文回顾了过去对堤岸的研究,并强调了这是一个沿海水库的事实,尽管沿海水库一词在过去二十年才流行起来。堤岸将维姆巴纳德湖分为南部的淡水湖和北部由海洋补给的微咸水湖。本文回顾了与外滩低效运营相关的问题和挑战,并提出了可能的解决方案。本文建议修复这座独特的沿海水库,以确保库塔纳德低地的淡水供应和灌溉。
