Pannagam thodu

The Pannagam thodu is a river in the state of Kerala in southern India,[1] forming near Madapattu and flowing north for 30 kilometers before joining the Meenachil River close to Punnathara.

Several streams from small hills in the towns of Pampady, Pallickathode, and Kooropada combine near the 14th Mile Church along the Kottayam–Kumily Road to form the Pannagam Thodu, which grows as it flows north through the towns of Madapattu, Mattakkara, Akalakunnam, Arumanoor, and Ayarkunnam.

There are a few issues affecting the water pollution, mainly from disposal of urban and domestic waste into the streams.

Illegal sand mining is rare in this river.

The main bridges are at: Eruthupusza, Myladiyil kadav, Kaniparambu Mattakkara, and Kongandoor (Charathupadi).
