Explanation

Kerala's famous backwaters are a unique geographical feature - a network of interconnected lakes, canals, estuaries and rivers with narrow strips of land (called 'ezhara') in between. They are not just lakes, islands or rivers individually, but a complex lagoon ecosystem formed by 38 rivers and their tributaries flowing into the Arabian Sea.
