  • Spatial Variability of Rainfall Trends in Sri Lanka from 1989 to 2019 As an Indication of Climate Change
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Spatial Variability of Rainfall Trends in Sri Lanka from 1989 to 2019 as an Indication of Climate Change Niranga Alahacoon 1,2,* and Mahesh Edirisinghe 1 1 Department of Physics, University of Colombo, Colombo 00300, Sri Lanka; [email protected] 2 International Water Management Institute (IWMI), 127, Sunil Mawatha, Pelawatte, Colombo 10120, Sri Lanka * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Analysis of long-term rainfall trends provides a wealth of information on effective crop planning and water resource management, and a better understanding of climate variability over time. This study reveals the spatial variability of rainfall trends in Sri Lanka from 1989 to 2019 as an indication of climate change. The exclusivity of the study is the use of rainfall data that provide spatial variability instead of the traditional location-based approach. Henceforth, daily rainfall data available at Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation corrected with stations (CHIRPS) data were used for this study. The geographic information system (GIS) is used to perform spatial data analysis on both vector and raster data. Sen’s slope estimator and the Mann–Kendall (M–K) test are used to investigate the trends in annual and seasonal rainfall throughout all districts and climatic zones of Sri Lanka. The most important thing reflected in this study is that there has been a significant increase in annual rainfall from 1989 to 2019 in all climatic zones (wet, dry, intermediate, and Semi-arid) of Sri Lanka. The maximum increase is recorded in the wet zone and the minimum increase is in the semi-arid zone.

  • Game of Loans: How China Bought Hambantota
    JULY 2017 CSIS BRIEFS CSIS Game of Loans How China Bought Hambantota By Jonathan Hillman MARCH 2018 THE ISSUE Unable to repay its debt, Sri Lanka gave China a controlling equity stake and a 99-year lease for Hambantota port, which it handed over in December 2017. The economic rationale for Hambantota is weak, given existing capacity and expansion plans at Colombo port, fueling concerns that it could become a Chinese naval facility. RECOMMENDATIONS Recipient countries should link infrastructure projects to broader development strategies that assess projects within larger networks and monitor overall debt levels. The international community should expand alternatives to Chinese infrastructure financing but cannot and should not support all proposed projects.

  • Port of Hambantota
    2016 PORT OF HAMBANTOTA SRI LANKA PORTS AUTHORITY Port of Hambantota Page 1 1. INTRODUCTION Located in the Indian Ocean, bordering on the equator, the island of Sri Lanka boasts of a rich history of civilization, rulers, religion, traditions and marvels of engineering. A 30,000 year history beginning with the “Balangoda Manawaya” to the present Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, the country has had its fair share of influences but has always remained true to its identity of being the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean”. Due to the unique geographical nature as well as its global position, the island of Sri Lanka became a prime target for European Conquerors during the Colonial Era. From the beginning of 16th century up to the mid-20th century, initially the coastal areas and later the whole island was under the governance of European Empires. Since, the independence in 1948, Sri Lanka has been through its thick and thin of geo-political troubles and has blossomed into a unique destination for multinational trade, tourists, entrepreneurs, etc. Trade via sea routes has always been the prime source, which generated international trade to Sri Lanka. Hence, the establishment of Sri Lanka Ports Authority in 1979 under the act “The Sri Lanka Ports Authority Act No. 51 of 1979” was a critical juncture in the economic development timeline of Sri Lanka. It enabled a single entity to develop maintain, operate and oversee all activities in relation to the Port Sector of Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka Ports Authority currently owns a total of seven Ports located all around the island.

  • China - Sri Lanka Strategic Hambantota Port Deal
    http://www.maritimeindia.org/ China - Sri Lanka Strategic Hambantota Port Deal Author: Anjelina Patrick* Date: 13 April 2017 Introduction Sri Lanka is conscious of its geostrategic position, and the advantage its ports hold in the Indian Ocean Region. One such port is the Hambantota Port, situated along one of the world's busiest east-west shipping routes, which passes 10 nautical miles from Hambantota. The island country holds the potential to become an advanced commercial hub so as to accelerate the country’s economy and trade, with the help of infrastructural investment from foreign entities like China. China has already invested USD 2 billion on the Hambantota Port Development Project. These investments were made without any feasible study or consideration of other repayment options. The port’s existing economic non-viability, massive maintenance expenses, and huge interest payments have led to a serious ‘debt trap’ for the island country. In December 2006, the initial agreement between the two parties was signed; wherein the Sri Lankan government was expected to sell 80 per cent stake in the Hambantota port for a 99-year lease, for USD1.12 billion. This issue brief aims to trace the development of the Hambantota Port Development Project vis-a-vis the degrading economy of Sri Lanka. It further examines the implications of the proposed agreement on the security, politics, and society of Sri Lanka. It also attempts to analyze China’s intentions behind the huge non-viable investment. Background The Hambantota port is an initiative of the Lankan government to further develop the strategic port and proposed industrial zone of 1,235 acres.

  • Debunking the Myth of 'Debt-Trap Diplomacy'
    Research Paper Lee Jones and Shahar Hameiri Asia-Pacific Programme | August 2020 Debunking the Myth of ‘Debt-trap Diplomacy’ How Recipient Countries Shape China’s Belt and Road Initiative Contents Summary 2 1 Introduction 3 2 The Economic Drivers of the BRI 5 3 Governing the Belt and Road 8 4 Sri Lanka and the BRI 13 5 Malaysia and the BRI 20 6 Conclusion and Policy Recommendations 28 About the Authors 31 Acknowledgments 32 References 33 1 | Chatham House Debunking the Myth of ‘Debt-trap Diplomacy’: How Recipient Countries Shape China’s Belt and Road Initiative Summary • The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is seen by some as a geopolitical strategy to ensnare countries in unsustainable debt and allow China undue influence. However, the available evidence challenges this position: economic factors are the primary driver of current BRI projects; China’s development financing system is too fragmented and poorly coordinated to pursue detailed strategic objectives; and developing-country governments and their associated political and economic interests determine the nature of BRI projects on their territory. • The BRI is being built piecemeal, through diverse bilateral interactions. Political-economy dynamics and governance problems on both sides have led to poorly conceived and managed projects. These have resulted in substantial negative economic, political, social and environmental consequences that are forcing China to adjust its BRI approach. • In Sri Lanka and Malaysia, the two most widely cited ‘victims’ of China’s ‘debt-trap diplomacy’, the most controversial BRI projects were initiated by the recipient governments, which pursued their own domestic agendas. Their debt problems arose mainly from the misconduct of local elites and Western-dominated financial markets.
