== Access and amenities ==

Moorkkanad is accessible from Karuvannur Valiyapalam and from Karuvannur puthan thode. It is 1.5 km from Valiyapalam and 2 km from Puthenthode. Many buses run from Trichur and Irinjalakuda via Moorkkanad which go to Katoor, [[Karalam]], Edamuttam and Triprayar.

The village has a high literacy rate and there is a strong emphasis on education and healthcare, which contributes to the reputation of the area. Moorkkand has a primary health centre and two anganvadis (play schools/pre-schools), which are administered by the Government of Kerala. The village also has an art and sports club named Kerala Athletic Club and a village library named Grammeena Vayanasala, both more than 50 years old.

Moorkkanad has a branch post office, which comes under the Karuvanoor main post office. Its postal code is 680711. There is a BSNL rural telephone exchange.

== Water ==

Moorkkanad Illikkal Sluice is on the [[Karuvannur River]]. The shutters of this sluice help to hold back water, which is used for the irrigation of [[paddyfields]] in the Kole wetlands in the adjoining areas during the period from December to May. Hidayathul Islam Madrasa is near to the Illikkal Dam, as is a water pumping station.
