Tidal flooding on Indian lake demands lasting solutions

Quick Summary:

Residents around India’s Vembanad Lake, battered by floods since December and distant ocean swells known as 'kallakkadal,' look to beach restoration and sand dune construction for solutions.

Sanjeevan says he doesn’t think removing silt from the lake is a solution as it would lead to higher intrusion of sea water.

However, the current water level in Vembanad Lake has remained high since last December, long before the supposed kallakkadal season.
