Inspires me to go on adventures. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This work is impossible without support and guidance from my advisor George Hornberger. Thank you, George, for believing me and accepting me as a PhD student. You are one among the few who make the world a better place. I am grateful for your guidance as my academic advisor as well as a second father throughout the graduate life. I would also thank to my research committee members – Hiba, Jonathan and Doug. Doug your generous offer to reach and speak is a great gift of the schooling time. It is a great opportunity to collaborate with Hiba and Jonathan for ADAPT- SL project and other studies. Your advices strengthen my studies present in this document. This work is supported by funding from National Science Foundation and Vanderbilt University. National Science Foundation Water, Sustainability and Climate program [Grant No EAR- 1204685] mainly supported for the work. Vanderbilt University supported part of the study and travel grants to participate the conferences where I got to know scientific community around the world. I would like to thank my friends and colleagues for their countless support. Thank you Asiri and Kishan from National Building Research Organization introducing me to ADAPT-SL Vanderbilt research team and support me to ascertain the PhD opportunity. Buddhika and my other Ceylon Electricity Board friends, without your support this might be impossible. I also offer my gratitude to Sunil Liyanagama and Mahaweli Authority staff for supporting me to complete this study. It would be a very hard task coming to US and going to school after 17 years without my Vanderbilt colleagues. Thanks to Emily, Thushara, Chelsea, Elizabeth, Mike, Josh, Paromita, Xiago, JinZhu, Saideep, CEE faculty & staff, and ISSS staff making my school life easy and happy. I treasure my memories with AAEES and ANS committee members and Jim Clarke. Also, my thanks go to Nashville Sri Lankan community being our new family to go through all those challenges. Last but certainly not least, I thank to my family for their love, support and being patience with me. I thank to my wonderful husband Muditha being with me this journey. My dear Nethmi, Sithmi and Devmi you always remind me what all those efforts are for. Thank you Amma (mom), Dilhan, Tharindu, Nadeesha and rest of the family for your love and support from Sri Lanka. I finally thank to you Thatta (dad) being the support, guide and strength of my life. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page DEDICATION…………………………………………………………………………………….2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

  • Water for Energy
    Water for Energy H. S. Somatilake' 1.1 General information The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) is a government owned and controlled utility of Sri Lanka that takes care of the general energy facilities of the island. The Ministry of Power, and Energy is the responsible ministry above the CEB. The CEB comes under statutory duty to develop and maintain an efficient, coordinated and economical supply system of electricity. Therefore the CEB has to: Generate or acquire supplies of electricity; Construct, maintain and operate the necessary works for the generation of electricity; Construct, maintain and operate the necessary works for the interconnection of Generating Stations and Sub-stations; Construct, maintain and operate the necessary works for the transmission of electricity in bulk from Generating Stations and Sub-stations to such places as may be necessary from time to time; Distribute and sell electricity in bulk or otherwise. The ideas behind these obligations sound right, but the problem of the CEB is the shortage of generating capacity. The current installed capacity of 1838 MW (the CEB owns about 90% of it, the private sector owns the rest) allows only a generation of about 6.800 GWh, while far more electricity is needed Because of this, Sri Lankan energy users often have to reckon with power cuts. A 'power cut schedule' (among other things mentioned on the website of the CEB) indicates the dates and time of the power cuts for the next week. This is not an encouraging sign while the demand for electricity has been growing at an average annual rate of 8% and is expected to grow at the same speed in the foreseeable future.

The year under review was eventful and we were able to take many progressive steps that will steer this sector to be more productive to serve the nation in the coming years. The capital investment programme of the Ministry had a workload of approximately Rs 20,000 million. This was a heavy development programme. We were on the path to achieve good progress, in spite of floods occurred in the beginning of the year and other constraints that had to be overcome during implementation. Steps were taken to remedy constraints such as staff shortages that existed, by new recruitments to the certain skilled technical grades but the shortage still prevails by large especially in the grades of Engineers, Engineering Assistants and other technical categories, which is being addressed by way of restructuring institutions, reviewing schemes of recruitments etc.

  • Economic and Social Infrastructure
    3 ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE easures aimed at improving the provision of economic and social infrastructure continued, with progress in energy supply, transportation and telecommunication activities as well as health and education services. A mechanism has been established Mto ensure cost-reflective domestic fuel pricing. Accordingly, against the backdrop of elevated global crude oil prices, the first major revision of domestic petroleum prices, since January 2015, took place in May 2018, and a series of regular revisions followed. The dependence on thermal power in electricity generation was somewhat limited during the first seven months of 2018, due to increased hydropower generation supported by favourable weather conditions. However, electricity tariffs that are in general below the cost recovery levels highlight the need for expediting the adoption of a cost-reflective electricity tariff as well. With regard to transport infrastructure, several projects to improve the road and expressway network continued. Port activities continued to record significant growth while the performance of the civil aviation sector improved, particularly with increased tourist arrivals. Meanwhile, the government continued to provide social infrastructure, increasingly supported by private sector participation in such service provision. Initiatives were taken to address some of the resource constraints in the education sector, with greater emphasis on technical and vocational education. The health sector continued to support the wellbeing of the people, although there was a surge in the incidence of some communicable diseases, namely influenza and leptospirosis, during the period under review. Moreover, social safety nets continued to support economically vulnerable sectors of the society. However, amidst the demographic transition and structural reforms that are taking place in the country, the need for better targeting of social security schemes should also be addressed.
