Kayals are shallow sea inlets or lagoons that run in parallel to a coastline.
Kayal refers to the lagoon lakes of Kerala. Backwater is the definition of the term Kayal. The backwaters of Kerala are a system of saline lagoons and lakes.
The backwaters of Kerala are known as kayals, and they are a distinctive characteristic of the Coastline. The backwaters of Kerala are a network of pools and lakes that run parallel to the Coastline (the Arabian Sea coast).
There are small patches of motionless or slow moving water in the soil, which is supersaturated with water. Glacier remnants, obstructed streams, and river systems that fill geological basins all contribute to the formation of lakes and ponds. Inland marshes form as ponds and lakes dry up over time.
