At the core of God’s Line: The Nest Eco City is the God’s Line Canal, a 500-kilometer-long, 20-meter-wide, and 20-meter-deep canal that serves as both a sustainable water resource and a natural barrier protecting Kerala’s coastline from erosion and rising sea levels. This canal system channels water from Kerala’s hill stations and dams, providing a reliable water supply for residential, agricultural, and industrial needs throughout the year.
The canal not only improves water availability but also supports Kerala’s agricultural ecosystem. By maintaining soil moisture levels and preventing coastal erosion, it contributes to the long-term sustainability of Kerala’s agricultural lands and fisheries.
The canal is designed to channel water from multiple hill stations, including the Idukki, Mullaperiyar, and Banasura Sagar dams. This ensures that even during the dry season, there is a steady flow of water for drinking, agriculture, and industry.
The canal not only serves as a waterway but also acts as a natural breakwater. By preventing coastal erosion and mitigating the effects of rising sea levels, it plays a critical role in protecting Kerala’s coastal communities from environmental degradation.
Equipped with AI-powered water management systems and IoT sensors, the canal’s flow is monitored in real-time to optimize water distribution. This ensures that no water is wasted and that resources are efficiently managed to meet demand during peak seasons.
The canal is lined with reinforced concrete to prevent seepage, ensuring long-term durability and effective water management. It also includes control gates, reservoirs, and spillways to regulate water levels and prevent flooding during heavy rainfall.
