Cooum (Kuvam) és un riu de Tamil Nadu, que neix a Kavan a uns 70 km de Chennai. La seva fama deriva del fet que passa pel cor de la ciutat de Chennai, l'antiga Madras, desaiguant a la badia de Bengala. Actualment, com molts rius de l'Índia, està altament contaminat. (ca) Der Cooum (Tamil கூவம் IAST Kūvam [ˈkuːʋʌm]) ist ein rund 65 Kilometer langer Fluss im südindischen Bundesstaat Tamil Nadu. Der Cooum entspringt bei einem Dorf gleichen Namens im Distrikt Tiruvallur, fließt in östliche Richtung und mündet in der Millionenstadt Chennai (ehemals Madras) in den Golf von Bengalen. Oberhalb von Chennai wird der Fluss durch den Kesavaram-Staudamm zu einem See gestaut. Das Wasser wird für die Versorgung der Stadt Chennai verwendet und die Abflussmenge stark reduziert. Der Flusslauf des Cooum ist schmal und mäandernd. Innerhalb Chennais fließt der Cooum durch das Stadtzentrum und mündet nahe dem Fort St. George ins Meer. In Chennai leben mehrere Tausend Menschen unter prekären Bedingungen in Slums an den Ufern des Cooum. Der Cooum ist stark versandet und vor allem im Bereich des Stadtgebiets von Chennai hochgradig verschmutzt. Während der Trockenzeit führt der Fluss kaum Wasser und wird praktisch ausschließlich durch ungeklärte Abwässer gespeist. Im Wasser des unteren Flusslaufes ist fast kein Sauerstoff mehr vorhanden, aber hohe Konzentrationen an Schwermetallen. Während der Cooum früher für die Fischerei genutzt wurde, kommen heute wegen der starken Verschmutzung keine Fische in dem Fluss vor. Zurzeit wird ein Projekt von der Weltbank gefördert, das die Wasserqualität verbessern soll. (de) The Cooum river (also known as Thiruvallikenni river) is one of the shortest classified rivers draining into the Bay of Bengal. This river is about 72 km (45 mi) in length, flowing 32 km (20 mi) in the city of Chennai (urban part) and the rest in rural part. The river is highly polluted in the urban area (Chennai). Along with the Adyar River running parallel to the south and the Kosasthalaiyar River, the river trifurcates the city of Chennai and separates Northern Chennai from Central Chennai. Its source is in a place by the Kesavaram Anaicut built across in Vellore district adjoining Chennai district. From its origin in the Kesavaram village to (Pattabiram), Thiruverkadu Anaikat, the river remains unpolluted. Beyond this, the river is highly polluted till its mouth in the Bay of Bengal. In Chennai district, the river flows through three corporation zones—Kilpauk, Nungambakkam and Triplicane—for a total length of 16 kilometres (10 mi). Owing to intensive use of surface water upstream for agriculture, indiscriminate pumping of groundwater leading to reduced base flow in the river, formation of sand bar at the mouth of the river, discharge of untreated sewage and industrial effluents and encroachment along the banks, the river, especially the downstream, has been highly polluted. In 2018 alone, about 21,665 tonnes of waste was removed from the river.
