Soil erosion The site being located in the Ernakulam district of

Kerala, is having lower topography level compared to
There are water bodies abutting the project site also the average annual
other districts and thus is prone to water logging during
rainfall of the region is about 3,000 mm with peak daily rainfall up to
rainy seasons.
200 mm. The land portion with clayey soil will have marginal erosion
Moreover, the buildings has to be functional during rainy
during heavy rain and hence, some impact. Regarding the erosion on
seasons.
laterite soil, the impact will be minimal.

Subsidence & instability

The clayey soil do not have good soil bearing capacity and there are
chances of subsidence and will have impact. The laterite soil have good
soil bearing capacity and will have minimal impact.
