The floods and landslides resulted in the loss of at least 93 lives and affected almost half a million people. The disaster damaged over 58,000 houses and caused a loss in income for over a million people dependent on agriculture, trade and industries. In the aftermath, extensive relief operations were conducted at national, provincial, district as well as divisional levels, significantly supported by the Sri Lanka Army, Navy and Air Force, civil society organisations, the private sector as well as individual contributions. As we now move on from the immediate relief phase, the subsequent recovery phase has been initiated by a Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA). This PDNA used a methodology, which was developed jointly by the United Nations, the World Bank and the European Union.

Rotifera from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) 2 Further Studies on the Eurotatoria Including New Records by R. CHENGALATH*, C. H. FERNANDo* and W. KosTEt INTRODUCTION In the first paper of this series, Chengalath and Fernando (1973) dealt with the genus Lecane from Sri Lanka. In all, twenty five species were recorded, of which seventeen species were new records. Two new species were also described. On the present paper we deal with the rest of the Eurotatoria. Again we have found many new records. In all 79 species are described in the present paper of which 47 are new records. The present study is based on the examination of over 300 samples from 135localities including large and small tanks, ponds of various sizes, rice fields, streams and marshes. The collections cover the whole area of Sri Lanka and were taken during different seasons of the year mainly from 1968-1972. The sampling localities are given in Fig. 1. In the previous paper (Chengalath and Fernando 1973) the literature on the Sri Lanka species was reviewed. Also the literature on the Eurotatoria of South and South-East Asia was given. Therefore, we have omitted reference to this literature. The methods used in the present study were the same as those referred to in Chengalath and Fernando (1973).

  • Freshwater Cultivation by Continuous Flush-Ing of River Water Through Elephant Pass La-Goon to Vadamarachchi Lagoon in Northern
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 8, Issue 2, February-2017 705 ISSN 2229-5518 Freshwater Cultivation by Continuous Flush- ing of River Water through Elephant Pass La- goon to Vadamarachchi Lagoon in Northern Sri Lanka Nitharsan, U., Anusuthan, N., Thinojah, T., Mafizur, R., and Sivakumar, S.S. Abstract— Elephant pass lagoon which is located between the mainland and the Jaffna peninsula is fed by the larger catchment. Sea water intrusion caused the lagoon water more brackish. Further ground water quality in Jaffna peninsula is getting worse due to the high contamination of nitrates, bac- teria-coliforms and oil. Posibility of converting the lagoon water to fresh water lake can be an alternative solution to reduce the water demand of pipe born water in the current situation in northern Sri Lanka. It can improve the agricultural land and reduce the salinity around the periphery of lagoons, presently abandoned due to salinity. This study is being carried out to analyze the water balance in Elephant pass lagoon and study the possibility of flushing the vadamarachchi lagoon by the excess water in elephant lagoon. Numerical rainfall runoff model was developed and the results were ana- lyzed by changing the crest level in eastern spill crest of elephant pass lagoon and sill level of the northern outlet of elephant lagoon to take water to Mandalai canal to flush saline water of vadamarachchi lagoon. Preliminary study indicate water availability but the insufficient driving head in “mandalai” canal to take excess water from elephant pass lagoon to vadamarachchi lagoon. Alternate possibilities are being studied by changing the crest level of eastern spill crest and sill of northern outlet of elephant pass lagoon.

Majority of these water Water heritage of Sri Lanka consist of 103 major resources are known to be contaminated with different river basins radiating from the hill country to the types of toxigenic cyanobacteria making water lowlands and over ten thousand operational unsuitable for human and animal consumption. reservoirs (Fernando, 1993). Historical evidence Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii, a toxin producing suggests that the origin of many of these tropical cyanobacterium, recently recorded at high reservoirs especially in the dry zone, date back to abundances in lentic waters of the country. This pre-Christian era during the period the country species is highly adaptive and exhibit different morphotypes: straight, coiled and sigmoid- shaped known to be self sufficient in agriculture trichomes under different environmental conditions. (Arumugam, 1969). In contrast, reservoirs Distribution and abundance of the species is mainly constructed during the recent history are used depending on the environmental factors and therefore mainly for hydroelectric power generation, remedies can be proposed to keep the populations irrigation and domestic use, though few under control. This preliminary study was conducted reservoirs are used exclusively for drinking.
