Why IWRM is Critical for Kerala

1. Declining Groundwater Levels & Over-Extraction

📌 Issue: In districts like Palakkad, Thrissur, and Ernakulam, excessive groundwater extraction has led to falling water tables.
📌 Solution: Recharge structures, rainwater harvesting & demand-side management strategies to replenish aquifers.

2. River & Wetland Degradation

📌 Issue: Encroachment and pollution have impacted Kerala’s major rivers like Periyar, Bharathapuzha, and Pamba.
📌 Solution: River basin management, wetland restoration, and eco-sensitive urban planning.

3. Water Pollution from Industries & Sewage

📌 Issue: Industrial effluents and untreated sewage are contaminating Kerala’s lakes, rivers, and groundwater.
📌 Solution: Efficient wastewater treatment, industrial discharge monitoring & pollution control policies.

4. Climate Change & Extreme Weather Events

📌 Issue: Erratic monsoons and prolonged dry spells are increasing water stress in both urban and rural areas.
📌 Solution: Floodwater management, sustainable irrigation, and climate-resilient water planning.
