1. Kole Wetlands
A wetland is a place where the land is covered by water, either salt, fresh or
somewhere in between. Marshes and ponds, the edge of a lake or ocean, the
delta at the mouth of a river, low-lying areas that frequently flood—all of these
are wetlands.
(Source: World Wildlife Fund)
Wetlands are defined as “areas of marsh, fen, peatland or water, whether natural
or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water that is static or flowing, fresh,
brackish or salt, including areas of marine water the depth of which at low tide
does not exceed six metres” (Source: Ramsar, 2018).

Functions of Kole Wetlands
• Kole Wetlands acts as a natural drainage system for Thrissur city and Thrissur
District. Also aid in the retention of stormwater, sediment, and nitrogen and
other nutrients and the runoff channelled into the catch basins are lessened.
• The Kole wetland plants and microorganisms filter the sediment, nutrients,
and other pollutants from adjacent impervious surfaces, thus reducing the
concentrations of nutrient-rich runoff into nearby surface waters.
(Source: www.wikiwand.com)
The people’s link with the Kole wetlands ecology is being lost in favour of a
modern approach in using the wetland area for creating a park. Apart from the
aesthetic value that the design provides, it should:
• It should be accessible and adapted to the cultural aspect of the region, for
the people to perceive the public space as a transit plate and not solely as a
scenery.
(Source: www.wikiwand.com)
BENNY
Ecosystem of Kole Wetlands
Kole Wetland ecosystems support more plants and animals and produce more
organic material when compared to the adjacent aquatic or upland areas.
They can be considered as the most biologically productive ecosystems. The
wetlands are important habitats for the fishes and wildlife which forms the
base of a rich food pyramid.
• Kole Wetlands are the home to many threatened or rare species of flora and
fauna. Wetlands can be the major breeding ground for fish, and crustaceans
which are harvested commercially and for recreation.
• Kole Wetlands attract wildlife for viewing and enhance the enjoyment
of parks and public spaces, also used for educational programmes and
studies.

Kole Wetlands Trail
The Kole Wetlands trail encourages visitors to explore the site and offers an
unusual variety of spaces to exercise in the fresh air and, at the same time, to
learn about the inequitable environmental qualities of the site.
The sensory path adds interest to the system of trails. Plants and flowers (with
different textures, fragrances, and colours), rocks, and ground surfaces border
the path. It can stimulate people with disabilities also.
The ropewalk can be designed as wayfinding for people with visual impairments.

Observation trails can be created through the site which would allow for thematic walks and boat tours. The
landscaping will be an important component of the biopark. It would be planned to incorporate observation
trails and help to improve the overall appearance of the area. The trail could be followed on foot or by
boats. The traditional boats of Kerala could be used for the trails and trained guides could make the ride
informative along with fun.
The boat tours will also provide interactive, hands-on experience with traditional boats for the educational
and other groups. Self-powered pedal boats and paddle boats can also be provided so that visitors can
follow the trails on their own leisure.
