Koodlu Hole is a perennial stream and right-bank tributary of the Chandragiri River in Kasaragod district, Kerala, India.[1] It originates in the Pattighat Reserve Forest of Kodagu district, Karnataka, and flows approximately 18 km along the Kerala-Karnataka border before joining the Chandragiri near Koodlu village.[2]
Course
Koodlu Hole drains a basin of about 85 km2, forming part of the natural boundary between Kasaragod taluk and Sullia taluk in Karnataka.[3] It facilitates cross-border irrigation for paddy and areca nut crops in the lower reaches.[4]
Ecology
The Koodlu Hole passes through semi-evergreen forests of the Kodagu-Kasaragod border, supporting riparian flora like wild mango and cane thickets.[5] It hosts native fish species including Deccan mahseer and barbels, contributing to the regional aquatic food web, with peak flows during monsoons aiding migration.[6] Conservation includes joint Kerala-Karnataka patrols for watershed protection against illegal logging and siltation.[7]
