Feasibility Study GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL I Annex II – Feasibility Study GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL I Feasibility Study i Annex II – Feasibility Study GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL I Technical Feasibility Report Strengthening the resilience of smallholder farmers in the Dry Zone to climate variability and extreme events through an integrated approach to water management ii Annex II – Feasibility Study GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL I Forward Sri Lanka is a country highly vulnerable to climate change. As with many countries around the world, the country has experienced the impact of rising temperatures and erratic rainfall patterns associated with prolonged droughts and floods, respectively. In response to this situation, Sri Lanka has played an active role in climate change adaptation activities, both locally and globally. The Framework Convention on Climate Change was ratified by Sri Lanka in 1993, and action was taken to ratify Kyoto Protocol and establish a Climate Change Secretariat. Other actions include formulation of national policies, strategic plans and strategies including a National Adaptation Plan (NAP) for Climate Change Impacts in 2015. Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) of Sri Lanka were developed in 2015. Over the last few years, Sri Lanka has received a limited amount of adaptation finance from existing global vertical funds including the Special Climate Change Fund and Adaptation Fund. A large proportion of Sri Lankans are dependent on livelihoods connected to agriculture. Substantial investments in irrigation and agriculture, especially in the Dry Zone, have made the country self-sufficient in rice. However, the Dry Zone extending over 60% of the land, is heavily impacted by climate change. The loss of production from climate-related hazards affects mostly farmers with small land holdings, and undermines domestic food security as well as livelihood opportunities. At the national level, both food security of the nation and foreign income from export crops are adversely affected due to the impacts of climate change. Most smallholder farmers of the Dry Zone cultivate under “Village Irrigation Systems”, which consist of small reservoirs and water diversions, each irrigating less than 80 ha of land. These irrigation systems have provided water for domestic purposes, livestock, crops and inland fisheries of rural villages for several generations. They continue to be vital for the life, health and well- being of villagers. Climate change is compounding numerous other constraints affecting the agriculture sector. In particular, services provided by these irrigation systems are adversely affected, and have contributed to deteriorated water quality and quantity issues. With mounting concerns about the impact of climate change on the agriculture sector, the Government of Sri Lanka, under the leadership of the newly elected President, is paying the highest attention to this mounting and worsening crisis in the Dry Zone. Concerns are especially elevated due to the prevailing incidence of Chronic Kidney Disease, for which poor-quality water is cited as a contributing factor, and is increasing at an alarming rate in the Dry Zone. Recent experiences show that current climate forecasting and early warning systems have to be improved, in addition to structural and institutional solutions, to comprehensively address the impacts of the climate change on the agriculture sector. While several projects and programmes aimed at improving the resilience of the vulnerable communities to climate change were implemented in the recent times, many of them had often a sector specific focus which, in hindsight, has limited impacts. In the recent times, the increased realization of the inter-dependence of various issues and sectors such as drinking water, health and agriculture has become more prominent. Against this background, the Ministry of Mahaweli Development and Environment is pleased to present the findings of the feasibility study on iii Annex II – Feasibility Study GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL I ‘Strengthening the resilience of smallholder farmers in the Dry Zone to climate variability and extreme events’. The Ministry of Mahaweli Development and Environment prepared this assessment with inputs from the Ministries of Disaster Management, City Planning and Water Supply, Agriculture and Department of Agrarian Development, National Water Supply and Drainage Board, Department of National Community Water Supply, Department of Meteorology, Disaster Management Centre and several other national institutions. United Nations Development Programme provided the technical support to the Ministry to complete this assessment. The study examines the observed climate change and projections in Sri Lanka, impacts on agriculture and drinking water supply and their linkages, current state of irrigation, water supply, seasonal forecasting and early warning systems. It further outlines gaps in current approaches to address these critical issues for achieving key Sustainable Development Goals in Sri Lanka, the barriers to fill these gaps, and recommends solutions and measures to remove such barriers in three river basins and seven administrative districts which are found to be most vulnerable. The recommendations formulated by this study will be used to identify and inform concrete activities for implementation to strengthen the resilience and adaptive capacity of the most vulnerable communities in Sri Lanka, with a special focus on women. We look forward to working together with the concerned national and international institutions, UNDP and the Green Climate Fund to increase the resilience of vulnerable communities in the Dry Zone of Sri Lanka. It is expected that the experiences gained through implementation of these recommendations will result in policy impacts and strategic frameworks that can be replicated in other vulnerable river basins and districts.

Gunatilake2 1Faculty of Graduate Studies, Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka, Belihuloya, Sri Lanka 2Department of Natural Resources, Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka, Belihuloya, Sri Lanka *[email protected] Uva Province in Sri Lanka is most significant in terms of its hydrological contributions since it consists of ten major river basins including source areas of three tributaries of Mahaweli River. The Province is affected by human-induced soil erosion by water. Hence, identification of soil erosion hazards and prioritizing them based on watersheds are crucial for improving soil conservation and water management plans. This study assessed the mean annual soil loss from the Province and watersheds separately using the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) Sediment Delivery Ratio (SDR) model introduced by the Stanford University, USA, using ArcGIS 10.4 environment. To cover the spatial extent of the Uva Province, the raster maps of Digital Elevation Model (DEM), rainfall erosivity factor (R), soil erodibility factor (K), and land use land cover (LULC) maps were prepared using ArcGIS 10.4. A biophysical table was formulated as a .csv (Comma Separated Value) table containing crop management (C) and support practice (P) factors corresponding to each land use classes in the LULC raster.

  • Fit.* IRRIGATION and MULTI-PURPOSE DEVELOPMENT
    fit.* The Historic Jaya Ganga — built by King Dbatustna in tbi <>tb century AD to carry the waters of the Kala Wewa to the ancient city tanks of Anuradbapura, 57 miles away, while feeding a number of village tanks in its course. This channel is also famous for the gentle gradient of 6 ins. per mile for the first I7 miles and an average of 1 //. per mile throughout its length. Both tbeKalawewa andtbefiya Garga were restored in 1885 — 18 8 8 by the British, but not to their fullest capacities. New under the Mabaweli Diversion project, the Kill Wewa his been augmented and the Jaya Gingi improved to carry 1000 cusecs of water. The history of our country dates back to the 6th century B.C. When the legendary Vijaya landed in L->nka, he is believed to have found an island occupied by certain tribes who had already developed a rudimentary sys­ tem of irrigation. Tradition has it that Kuveni was spinning cotton on the bund of a small lake which was presumably part of this ancient system. The development of an ancient civilization which was entirely depen­ dent on an irrigation system that grew in size and complexity through the years is described in our written history. Many examples are available which demonstrate this systematic development of water and land re­ sources throughout the so-called dry zone of our country over very long periods of time. The development of a water supply and irrigation system around the city of Anuradhapuia may be taken as an example.

  • An Assessment of the Water Quality in Major Streams of the Madu Ganga Catchment and Pollution Loads Draining Into the Madu Ganga from Its Own Catchment
    An assessment of the water quality in major streams of the Madu Ganga catchment and pollution loads draining into the Madu Ganga from its own catchment A.A.D. Amarathunga* and N. Sureshkumar National Aquatic Resources Research and Development Agency (NARA), Crow Island, Colombo 15, Sri Lanka. Abstract The Madu Ganga Lagoon is located in the Southern Coast, Northwest of the city of Galle within the Galle District. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pollution status of the lagoon and the contribution of the land base pollutants from the catchment of the Madu Ganga. Selected water quality parameters were measured at monthly intervals at twelve sampling locations in the catchment. Certain parameters such as salinity (2.2 + 1.7 ppt), oil & grease (8.5 + 6.5 mg/L), total suspended solids (16.1 ± 12.3 mg/L), and turbidity (20.1 ± 12.5 NTU) are found to be elevated levels when compared with water quality standards. The study revealed that the Lenagala Ela brought a high nutrient load (426.7 kg/day) into Madu Ganga and Arawavilla Ela, Magala Ela and Bogaha Ela also contributed significantly. The highest nutrient loads were found with the onset of the Northeast Monsoon during November to January. The increase in nutrient loads is attributed to the fertilizers added to the soil with the commencement of the major paddy cultivation season.

RIVER SAND MINING - BOON OR BANE? A synopsis of a series of national, provincial and local level dialogues on unregulated / illicit river sand mining Compiled by Ranjith Ratnayake Sri Lanka Water Partnership November 2008 River Sand Mining (Manual) Sand Removal from River Bed RIVER SAND BOON OR BANE? Preface Unregulated and illicit River Sand Mining (RSM) and its consequences with the related aspect of corruption, has been an issue that has constantly come up for discussion at forums organized by the Sri Lanka Water Partnership (SLWP) on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and other water related topics, starting with a Gender and Water dialogue held in Kurunegala in 2005. Two of the Area Water Partnerships (AWP) established for Deduru Oya (Deduru Oya Surakeeme Sanvidhanaya ) and the Maha Oya (Maha Oya Mithuro) have this as the priority issue, whilst three other AWP for Malwatu Oya , Upper Mahaveli and Nilwala highlight sand mining as needing urgent resolution. The SLWP after several local discussions organized a National Dialogue on River Sand and Clay Mining on 24th April 2006 in Colombo in collaboration with the Capacity Development Network (CapNet ) and the Network of Women Water Professionals ( NetWwater). The Hon; Minister of Science and Technology who was Chief Guest at this workshop attended by the relevant agencies and NGO agreed to set up a Ministerial Task Force for technological alternatives to river sand to be considered .
