Rising salinity is causing daily water struggles for people living along Kerala’s coastline.
Salt water's intrusion into fresh water is a growing problem linked to climate change.
It means residents in Chellanam, India can no longer depend on ponds and wells for the water they need to drink, cook and wash.
Anthony Kuttappassera's family has lived in the same house at the edge of the Arabian Sea for more than a century. He grew up drinking water from the pond and the well outside his home.
But in recent decades, that water gradually became too salty to drink. Then it grew too salty for bathing or washing clothes.
