'''Poonoor puzha''' (Poonoor River) is a perennial river in the [[Kozhikode district]] of [[Kerala]] state in India.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://malabarukaran.blogspot.com/2012/12/geography-and-climate.html|title=History,tourist destinations and {{sic|cusi|ne|nolink=y}} of kozhikode, the capital of Malabar: Geography and Climate|last=Unknown|date=2012-12-05|website=History, tourist destinations and cuisine of Kozhikode, the capital of Malabar|access-date=2019-04-16}}</ref> It meets [[Korapuzha]] and ends in [[Arabian Sea]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103131507256884618907/reviews|title=Contributions by Aboobacker Bin Abdullah|website=Contributions by Aboobacker Bin Abdullah|language=en|access-date=2019-04-16}}</ref> It is named from the village of [[Poonoor]] in Kozhikode district. Even though the length of river flowing through Poonoor is considerably less, the river carries the name.<br />
<br />
Poonoor Puzha is one of the longest in Kozhikode district which irrigates the majority of farming in the district. The river is normally very quiet and stream looks almost stationary but the inner flow is forceful. The river originates from the hillock called Arikkankunnu of western ghats.<br />
<br />
The rainy season stains the river and some years it floods to make the transportation impossible. In 2007 lives were lost in the flooding of Poonoor puzha.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/how-kerala-is-staying-afloat-after-the-deluge/story-nnscN5wA9vejixiMnFBKPK.html|title=Kerala slowly picks up pieces after devastating floods|date=2018-09-30|language=en|access-date=2019-04-16}}</ref><br />
<br />
Environmentalists and nature lovers are much concerned about the preservation of this river as much illegal construction and sand mining kills it.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.manoramaonline.com/cgi-bin/MMOnline.dll/portal/localContentView.do?district=Kozhikode&contentId=6919317&programId=1079897624&tabId=16&BV_ID=@@@|title=പൂനൂർ പുഴയുടെ ഗതികേട് (A deep concern over Poonoor Puzha)|date=24 April 2010|publisher=[[Malayala Manorama]]|access-date=24 April 2010}}</ref><br />
