Downstream exposure

The downstream reach and local body list for Aruvikkara have not been transcribed from a District Disaster Management Plan yet, so none are shown.

District control room: 1077 / 0471-2730067

Rule curve — seasonal operating target

No rule curve (seasonal guide curve) is published for Aruvikkara in a form this platform can verify, so none is shown. Where an operating curve is published — as for Idukki after the 2018 floods — it is plotted against actual storage instead of being estimated.

Environmental & carbon accounting

Insufficient data
Reservoir methane (gross)
Not enough data /yr

CH₄ from flooded land × GWP-100 (27), age-adjusted

Green carbon — catchment forest
Not enough data /yr

Western Ghats forest sink, 60% forest cover assumed

Blue carbon — sediment burial
Not enough data /yr

—

Hydropower grid offset
Not enough data /yr

vs CEA grid 0.716 kg CO₂/kWh, 35% capacity factor

Net catchment balance: Not enough data/yr (forest + sediment sinks minus reservoir methane)

Estimate, not a measurement — built from IPCC 2019 Flooded Lands factors and public dam data. Kerala does not publish measured reservoir emissions. Credits shown are indicative, not registered. How this is calculated
