A backwater is a part of a river in which there is little or no current. It can refer to a branch of a main river, which lies alongside it and then rejoins it, or to a body of water in a main river, backed up by the tide or by an obstruction such as a dam.

Reasons why it is called backwaters in Kerala: The backwaters of Kerala are marked by a unique ecosystem wherein lagoons, lakes, canals, estuaries, and deltas of several rivers meet the Arabian Sea. Backwaters are formed when the seawater collects at the sea-shores.

The network includes five large lakes linked by canals, both man made and natural, fed by 38 rivers, and extending virtually half the length of Kerala state….Kerala backwaters.

The backwaters were formed by the action of waves and shore currents creating low barrier islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western Ghats range. The backwaters have a unique ecosystem: freshwater from the rivers meets the seawater from the Arabian Sea.

The water in the Kerala backwaters is not suitable for swimming. 230,160 liters of wastewater reaches the largest lake in the Backwaters each day. Plus, 26.9% of water sources in Kerala are completely polluted and 46.1% are partly polluted, according to the Fauna Journal.
