The first and oldest dam in Kerala is Mullaperiyar. It is a masonry gravity dam on the Periyar river. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Kerala. The Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary is spread around the reservoir formed by this dam. The water of this reservoir is used for irrigation purposes in Tamil Nadu. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ @Kerala

Mattupetty Dam (Madupetty Dam), near Munnar in Idukki District, is a storage Concrete Gravity dam built in the mountains of Kerala, India to conserve water for hydroelectricity. It has been a vital source of power yielding along with other such dams, huge revenue to the states. The large amount of perennially available water allows wild animals and birds to flourish. However salinity caused by irrigation and water-logging are of concern to environmentalists. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ @Kerala

Bekal Fort was built by Shivappa Nayaka of Keladi in 1650 AD, at Bekal. It is the largest fort in Kerala, spreading over 40 acres (160,000 m2). The fort appears to emerge from the sea. Almost three-quarters of its exterior is in contact with water. Bekal fort was not an administrative centre and does not include any palaces or mansions. An important feature is the water-tank, magazine and the flight of steps leading to an observation tower built by Tipu Sultan. Standing at the centre of the fort, this offers views of the coastline and the towns of Kanhangad, Pallikkara, Bekal, Mavval, Kottikkulam, and Uduma. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ @Kerala

The Kavvayi Backwaters in the Kannur district of Kerala form the largest Lake in the Malabar region (North Kerala) and the third largest in Kerala. It is formed by the estuaries of the Thejaswini, Karingode and the Perumbra rivers. The 20 km long Lake extends from Cheruvathur in the north and Ezhimala in the south. A barrier island separates the lake from the Arabian Sea. The Kavvayi Lake has an opening towards the Arabian Sea at its northern side in Azhithala. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ @Kerala
