Check Dam
The Kasaragod district has an average annual rainfall of 3500 mm. Two check dams are constructed using rubble masonry with concrete lining across a small stream flowing through the Campus to effectively utilize rain water. It is one of the contemporary practices of rain harvesting. Also it improves soil moisture of the adjoining areas and allows percolation to recharge the aquifers.
