The AVM canal was formed in July 1860 during the reign of Marthanda Varma Maharaja of Travancore state. It was a scheme for connecting Thiruvananthapuram with Kanyakumari and thus extending the water communications to the extreme south of the country. All the coastal villages numbering more than 20, including, Pozhiyoor, Marthandamthurai, Thengapagttinam, Colachel, and Mondaicadu, all depended upon this resource for most of their needs, including navigation. But today the purpose is no longer served. http://maps.google.co.in/maps?hl=en&q=thiruvananthapuram+map&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Trivandrum,+Thiruvananthapuram,+Kerala&gl=in&ei=LCQ2TLeWDcyGkAWSpam7Aw&ved=0CCEQ8gEwAA&ll=8.316475,77.072525&spn=0.160344,0.22007&z=12
