Kodoor River is a river between Kottayam [1] and Alappuzha district s, Kerala, India.

Kodoor River has a long history with the old trading routes between the coastal district Alapuzha and the eastern villages of Kottayam. There was a busy jetty at Puthuppally named Angadi, which means market. The river is originated from the beautiful hills [2] in between Kottayam and Pathanamthitta districts and finally empties into the Meenachil River. [3]

Water Hyacinth

In July 2016, the cleaning of the Kodoor river was taken up to clear the water Hyacinth and make the way for Kottayam-Alappuzha boat service from Kodimatha boat jetty. [4] In May 2019, once again the water Hyacinth was removed to restore the 3.5km waterway from Kanjiram to Kodimatha. [5] Kerala also found a novel way to get rid of Hyacinth. [6]
