The share of rice production from Kuttanad region is around 30% of the state’s total production. This research paves the way for the preparation of a wetland planning and management framework that can work as the schedule for the protection and management of wetland regions in India. The method of analysis relies on system dynamics technique, which can be modelled on the local requirements. This research into the wetland system presents a clear portrayal of the various interrelated subsystems that affect the system’s growth. Secondly, the model is adaptable for both national and international conditions with replacements of criteria related to contextual necessities. It is also a critical study for the rehabilitation and resettlement strategies in the post-flood scenario in Kerala.enAuthor owns copyright, except where explicitly noted.
