Comparison of November 2003 with that
of November 2002 indicates a more pronounced fall in water level in major parts
of the State. The fall in water level is in the range of 0 – 6 metres as
recorded by 71.8 % NHS. However fall in water level is restricted to 2 meters
as recorded by majority of the stations. Rise in water level is seen in the
eastern parts of Kasaragod, Wayanad, western parts of Kozhikode, Thrissur and
also in isolated areas in other districts.
The
conspicuous fall in water level is due to the poor rainfall distribution in
comparison with previous year’s rainfall. The comparison of rainfall
distribution during the period 1.10.03 to 12.11.03 with that of the previous
year indicates lesser rainfall in 12 districts with % departures varying from
–1.6 in Wayanad district to –71.2 in Kasaragod district
