A very weed covered stretch of the waterways in Alleppey

This section of the waterways seems very weed infested, but if you look closely, this is actually close to a large habitation of people. The canal is bounded by cement and stone banks, and the trees on either side are specifically grown for cultivation. And you can see boats (multiple ones) in the water straight ahead.

There are several parts of Kerala (a state in the south of India) that have large sections of waterways (used by the local people for transport of self and goods). In these regions, especially near places such as Alleppey, people depend on the water for all their movement, such as this man paddling this small boat across these weed covered waterways.

This is another view of the Lake View Resort in Alleppey, Kerala, with the water inside the resort also having the same brackish water as is common in the waterways in the town. The resort uses this to its advantage, fishing for fish using these large nets, and also growing beautiful flowers on the borders of the property.
