  • A Case Study of the Kotmale Dam in Sri Lanka Jagath Manatungea* and Naruhiko Takesadab
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Digital Repository, University of Moratuwa International Journal of Water Resources Development Vol. 29, No. 1, March 2013, 87–100 Long-term perceptions of project-affected persons: a case study of the Kotmale Dam in Sri Lanka Jagath Manatungea* and Naruhiko Takesadab aDepartment of Civil Engineering, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka; bFaculty of Humanity and Environment, Hosei University, Tokyo, Japan (Received 3 June 2012; final version received 11 June 2012) Many of the negative consequences of dam-related involuntary displacement of affected communities can be overcome by careful planning and by providing resettlers with adequate compensation. In this paper the resettlement scheme of the Kotmale Dam in Sri Lanka is revisited, focusing on resettlers’ positive perceptions. Displaced communities expressed satisfaction when income levels and stability were higher in addition to their having access to land ownership titles, good irrigation infrastructure, water, and more opportunities for their children. However, harsh climate conditions, increased incidence of diseases and human–wildlife conflicts caused much discomfort among resettlers. Diversification away from paddy farming to other agricultural activities and providing legal land titles would have allowed them to gain more from resettlement compensation. Keywords: dam construction; involuntary displacement; livelihood rebuilding; resettlement compensation Introduction Over the decades, there has been growing concern about the negative consequences of the involuntary displacement of rural communities for large-scale infrastructure development (De Wet, 2006; Robinson, 2003). The construction of dams is the most often cited example of development projects that cause forced displacement of communities (McCully, 2001).

  • Ancient Water Management and Governance in the Dry Zone of Sri Lanka Until Abandonment, and the Influence of Colonial Politics During Reclamation
    water Article Ancient Water Management and Governance in the Dry Zone of Sri Lanka Until Abandonment, and the Influence of Colonial Politics during Reclamation Nuwan Abeywardana * , Wiebke Bebermeier * and Brigitta Schütt Department of Earth Sciences, Physical Geography, Freie Universität Berlin, Malteserstr. 74-100, 12249 Berlin, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (N.A.), [email protected] (W.B.) Received: 30 October 2018; Accepted: 21 November 2018; Published: 27 November 2018 Abstract: The dry-zone water-harvesting and management system in Sri Lanka is one of the oldest historically recorded systems in the world. A substantial number of ancient sources mention the management and governance structure of this system suggesting it was initiated in the 4th century BCE (Before Common Era) and abandoned in the middle of the 13th century CE (Common Era). In the 19th century CE, it was reused under the British colonial government. This research aims to identify the ancient water management and governance structure in the dry zone of Sri Lanka through a systematic analysis of ancient sources. Furthermore, colonial politics and interventions during reclamation have been critically analyzed. Information was captured from 222 text passages containing 560 different records. 201 of these text passages were captured from lithic inscriptions and 21 text passages originate from the chronicles. The spatial and temporal distribution of the records and the qualitative information they contain reflect the evolution of the water management and governance systems in Sri Lanka. Vast multitudes of small tanks were developed and managed by the local communities. Due to the sustainable management structure set up within society, the small tank systems have remained intact for more than two millennia.

Box 5050, Saint John, New Brunswick, E2L 4L5, Canada 2Institute of Fundamental Studies, Hanthana Road, Kandy 20000, Sri Lanka 3Permanent Address: Office of the Registrar of Pesticides, Department of Agriculture, 1056, Getambe, P.O. Box 49, Peradeniya 20400, Sri Lanka Abstract: Patterns of fish community composition in the Mahaweli ichthyological region of Sri Lanka were examined in agricultural tributaries of the Uma-oya catchment of the upper Mahaweli River in comparison to more pristine streams in a nature reserve in the Amban-ganga catchment. The Uma-oya catchment shows characteristics commonly observed in extensive agricultural exploitation such as impaired water quality and altered riparian vegetation. The most abundant fish species in the two regions were Garra ceylonensis, Devario malabaricus, and Rasbora daniconius, although their relative abundance differed between sites. G. ceylonensis and Neomacheilus notostigma were the only endemic fish species in common but the latter has been extremely depauperate. Endemism is higher in the reference sites (62.5%) than agricultural sites (ca. 25%); some of the reference streams showed greater diversity with unique fish species and a few species that have not been recorded previously in the catchment. The ichthyofaunal similarity between two catchments was 39% and fish species diversity was negatively correlated with stream gradients (Pearson correlation (-0.630); r2 = 39.6% p = 0.028).

Udayakumar Abstract The main focus of this thesis work is to perform a preliminary evaluation for the introduction of a pumped energy storage system to an existing hydropower plant located on the Randenigala water reservoir in Sri Lanka. The selected power plant is located in an area where farming is done extensively, therefore electrical power generation and release of water for downstream irrigation purposes is to be properly coordinated with relevant authorities. The solution to this situation is to introduce a wind powered pumped energy storage power plant to the Mahaweli hydro cascade for the purpose of saving peak power for around half an hour. A feasibility study was carried out on the utilization of wind energy and excess power to drive the motors of the pumped storage system. Three versions with different numbers of pump motors and wind turbines have been considered to meet the half hour peak demand of the energy storage system. The optimum number of turbines and motor capacities and their number and brand have been selected with view of both energy and water management system.
