  • Pilot Project Completion Report
    Pilot Project Completion Report Name of the Pilot Project Business Development and Marketing of Coir and Palmerah Products Pilot Project Code CC-1 Name of the Implementer Jaffna Social Action Centre (JSAC) Pilot Project Site Velanai East Background 120 members were registered with the WRDS Velanai East. Around 20 members of the WRDS were engaged in producing coir products, mainly broom. Role of the WRDS was provision of equipment for coir producing and materials; coconut fiber. The women were engaged in producing brooms in the evening in the small room of the community center. However, sales of the broom seemed to be down as business of factory manufactured brooms started in Velanai. Improvement of quality and variety of the products became urgent need to continue their business, keeping unity among women that had been brought up during past years. Objective Empower Woman Rural Development Society (WRDS) by addressing one of the most pressing women’s needs in the villages—income generation Activities (1) Capacity development trainings for WRDS active members (2) Trainings in producing coir & palmerah products and marketing for selected WRDS members, including provision of necessary equipment (3) Improvement of working center for coir industry (semi permanent building) Evaluation (1) Effectiveness: Average income from coir production has increased due to the increased quality and established marketing linkages. Degree of empowerment as society is observed. Production capacity has increased remarkably, as members gained technical production knowledge. The building was used as a place of production, storage, display, and sales. Now members actively discuss their issues at their meetings, with other CBOs in the village and also with the respective authorities like GS, RDO, DS, Pradeshiya Sabha officers, and so on.

  • Characterization of Irrigation Water Quality of Chunnakam Aquifer in Jaffna Peninsula
    Tropical Agricultural Research Vol. 23 (3): 237 – 248 (2012) Characterization of Irrigation Water Quality of Chunnakam Aquifer in Jaffna Peninsula A. Sutharsiny, S. Pathmarajah1*, M. Thushyanthy2 and V. Meththika3 Postgraduate Institute of Agriculture University of Peradeniya Sri Lanka ABSTRACT. Chunnakam aquifer is the main lime stone aquifer of Jaffna Peninsula. This study focused on characterization of Chunnakam aquifer for its suitability for irrigation. Groundwater samples were collected from wells to represent different uses such as domestic, domestic with home garden, public wells and farm wells during January to April 2011. Important chemical parameters, namely electrical conductivity (EC), chloride, calcium, magnesium, carbonate, bicarbonate, sulfate, sodium and potassium were determined in water samples from 44 wells. Sodium percentage, Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), and residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC) levels were calculated using standard equations to map the spatial variation of irrigation water quality of the aquifer using GIS. Groundwater was classified based on Chadha diagram and US salinity diagram. Two major hydro chemical facies Ca-Mg-Cl-SO4 and Na-Cl-SO4 were identified using Chadha diagram. Accordingly, it indicates permanent hardness and salinity problems. Based on EC, 16 % of the monitored wells showed good quality and 16 % showed unsuitable water for irrigation. Based on sodium percentage, 7 % has excellent and 23 % has doubtful irrigation water quality. However, according to SAR and RSC values, most of the wells have water good for irrigation. US salinity hazard diagram showed, 16 % as medium salinity and low alkali hazard. These groundwater sources can be used to irrigate all types of soils with little danger of increasing exchangeable sodium in soil.
