Three important
rivers flow through this district. They are Pampa, Achankovil and
Manimala Rivers. The Pampa river is formed by the confluence of Pambayar,
Aruthayar, Kakkadayar, Kakkar and Kallar. It descends from Sabarimala,
flows through various parts of Ranny taluk, enters Alappuzha district
after joining with river Manimala and river Achankovil and empties
itself into the Vembanad lake. The river Achankovil is formed by the
confluence of several small streams originating from Rishimala, Pasukidamettu
and Ramakkalteri and joins the Pamba at Veeyapuram in Alappuzha district.
One third of
the electricity produced by the State comes from this district. Power
is generated from the Sabarigiri Hydro-electric Project situated at
the Pamba basin in the district.
The abundant
water resource in the district is also utilised for irrigation purposes
through the Kallada Irrigation Project and the Pamba Irrigation Project.
