    Proceedings of the Postgraduate Institute of Science Research Congress, Sri Lanka: 26th - 28th November 2020 Abstract No: 11 Earth and Environmental Sciences PRIORITIZATION OF WATERSHEDS IN UVA PROVINCE, SRI LANKA, BASED ON SOIL EROSION HAZARD I.D.U.H. Piyathilake1*, R.G.I. Sumudumali1, E.P.N. Udayakumara2, L.V. Ranaweera2, J.M.C.K. Jayawardana2 and S.K. 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.

The initial emphasis of this five-year project will be on developing a scientifically based, low-cost, community-based approach to rehabilitating key coastal ecosystems at specific sites in the East Coast and facilitating replication of these techniques all along the East Coast (and in due course other tsunami-affected coasts). Three sites representing three major ecosystems – mangroves, coastal lagoons, and sand dunes –have been identified for piloting these themes. The selection was based on outputs from the Threats Analysis and the following criteria. 1. Hotspot analysis: sites where the tsunami effect was severe on the ecosystems and post tsunami reconstructions are in progress, global/national biodiversity importance exist, concentration of various resource users and their high dependency over the available resources exist and user conflicts exist. 2. Accessibility: accessibility by road was a criterion for selecting pilot sites 3. Absence of ongoing management and monitoring projects: sites at which on-going projects have not being considered for selection 4.

Please include any information about check points. Sources indicate that travel to the north and east of Sri Lanka was possible between 2002 and 2006 due to the signing of the peace agreement between the Sri Lankan Army (SLA) and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam (LTTE) in 2002. This agreement, whilst not adhered to by either party, at least reduced full scale military activity in then LTTE-held areas,
