Abstract

Kallayi river originates from Kunnamangalam as a small stream and flows
down 30 km through Kunnathupalam, Mankavu and Kallayi towns and ends in
the Arabian Sea (Fig. 1). Perennial in nature, it is connected to Beypore river
by a channel at Mankavu. Considerable amount of coconut husks are deposited
in this river by the coir cottage-industry units for retting. These husks settle
onto the bottom and due to the decay of these, a black silt is formed on the
substratum mixed with sand
