There are 41 West Flowing and 3 East Flowing rivers in Kerala. Kerala receives a fairly good rainfall of 3000mm in an average, but the state is experiencing scarcity of water for its domestic needs. The state receives about 90% of the annual rainfall during the monsoon months from June to August and from October to November. The remaining period from December to May is practically dry. Most of the rain water received during monsoon period flows to sea within 48 hours of rainfall due to the character of the geographic terrain of the state.
