  • 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)
  • Le Cooum est un fleuve côtier, coulant dans l’état du Tamil Nadu au sud-est de l'Inde, et se jetant dans le golfe du Bengale au niveau de la ville de Chennai. (fr)
  • 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. (de)
