The '''Karuvannur River''' is the fourth largest river in [[Thrissur District]] of [[Kerala]]. The river is formed by the confluence of the [[Kurumali River|Kurumali river]] and [[Manali River|Manali river]].<br />
<br />
==Course==<br />
The river has its origins at Arattupuzha where it is formed by the confluence of the two rivers, [[Manali River]] and [[Kurumali River]]. Both the rivers merge at [[Arattupuzha]] and forms the Karuvannur River. Then the river flows to the Kole wetlands.The river divides the [[Thrissur Kole Wetlands]] into two regions, an area of 8,072 hectares in the north is termed as North Kole, and an area of 2,115 hectares in the south is known as South Kole.<ref>{{cite web<br />
