From around the large compound wall of KMML, reddish brown water (untreated or partially treated) flows into the drainage build right around it and from there it makes it way to Vattakkayal.
Vattakayal is connected to the National water way. The national water way enters Ashtamudi Lake between Palliyadiyil and Mananthara Stretches.
This explains the presence of various heavy metals in Ashtamudi Lake and thus polluting the entire district of Kollam as the Ashtamudi is fanned out across 22 Local bodies of Kerala. This if left unchecked has far reaching consequences to the entire populace of Kollam, which has actually started to unravel around Panmana and Chavara Areas.
