The correct answer is Only A.

  • Kuttanad Wetland Agriculture System (KWAS)
    • Kuttanad is a region in Kerala that has many interesting aspects emanating from its culture, evolution, agricultural practices, and many more. 
    • It is a land where backwaters and canals make their presence felt more than any other region in Kerala.
    • In 2002, it was included in the list of wetlands of international importance, as defined by the Ramsar Convention
    • KWAS is unique, as it is the only system in India that favors rice cultivation below sea level on the land.
    • It is created by draining delta swamps in brackish waters.
    • The Kuttanad system is a complex mosaic of fragmented agricultural landscapes divided into three structures, i.e. wetlands used for paddy activities and fish catching, garden lands used for coconut, tubers, and food crops plantation, and water areas used for inland fishing and shells.
    • Its predominant rice cultivation has earned Kuttanad the sobriquet - The rice bowl of Kerala.
    • Here, annually three crops are grown.
    • In earlier days when rice farming started gaining popularity in Kuttanad, large parts of Vembanad Lake were reclaimed by local farmers for rice cultivation.
