Note:Pamba is known as Southern Kerala's Kaveri. .
Length, width and water discharge are small in the rivers of Kerala.
Owing to the craggy terrain and as the short distance between the west Ghats and the ocean, the rivers run faster Both rivers are fully monsoon fed and many of them dry up in summer or shrink to rivulets.
