The Cauvery Basin is shaped by far more than its rivers. Its forests, mountains, wetlands, wildlife, rainfall and land use together determine how water flows, where biodiversity thrives, and how resilient the basin remains.
The below cards explore the natural systems that sustain the Cauvery Basin. Through maps, data and stories, it brings together the landscapes that support the river from the Western Ghats and protected areas to forests, coffee landscapes, tributaries, and other ecological features that influence the basin’s health.
This section will continue to grow with new maps, stories and evidence on biodiversity, coffee landscapes, eco-sensitive areas, wetlands and other ecosystems that sustain the Cauvery Basin.
