  • 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.

  • Precipitation Trends in the Kalu Ganga Basin in Sri Lanka
    January 2009 PRECIPITATION TRENDS IN THE KALU GANGA BASIN IN SRI LANKA A.D.Ampitiyawatta1, Shenglian Guo2 ABSTRACT Kalu Ganga basin is one of the most important river basins in Sri Lanka which receives very high rainfalls and has higher discharges. Due to its hydrological and topographical characteristics, the lower flood plain suffers from frequent floods and it affects socio- economic profile greatly. During the past several years, many researchers have investigated climatic changes of main river basins of the country, but no studies have been done on climatic changes in Kalu Ganga basin. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate precipitation trends in Kalu Ganga basin. Annual and monthly precipitation trends were detected with Mann-Kendall statistical test. Negative trends of annual precipitation were found in all the analyzed rainfall gauging stations. As an average, -0.98 trend with the annual rainfall reduction of 12.03 mm/year was found. April and August were observed to have strong decreasing trends. July and November displayed strong increasing trends. In conclusion, whole the Kalu Ganga basin has a decreasing trend of annual precipitation and it is clear that slight climatic changes may have affected the magnitude and timing of the precipitation within the study area Key words: Kalu Ganga basin, precipitation, trend, Mann-Kendall statistical test. INTRODUCTION since the lower flood plain of Kalu Ganga is densely populated and it is a potential Kalu Ganga basin is the second largest area for rice production. During the past river basin in Sri Lanka covering 2766 km2 several years, attention has been paid to and much of the catchment is located in study on precipitation changes of main the highest rainfall area of the country, river basins of Sri Lanka.

  • Development of a Flood Forecasting Model for Kalu River and Kelani River Basins in Sri Lanka Using Radial Basis Function Neural Networks
    Development of a Flood Forecasting Model For Kalu River and Kelani River Basins in Sri Lanka using Radial Basis Function Neural Networks Seenipellage Chaminda Sugeeswara Supervisor: Prof. A. W. Jayawardena MEE09208 Abstract This research is intended to investigate a kind of river stage/discharge forecasting model suitable for Sri Lankan flood prone rivers as an essential component of an effective early flood warning system. This work was carried out on a belief, that data driven river stage/discharge model would be more suitable for Sri Lankan rivers as there are considerable amount of past records of data while other physical information that are required to develop physically based models are rare. Artificial neural networks (ANN) have recently become popular in many fields including river stage/discharge forecasting in hydrology. Among various types of ANNs, radial basis function networks (RBFN) are popular over the more widely used multilayer perceptrone for its faster convergence, smaller extrapolation errors and higher reliability. In this study, generalized radial basis function network (GRBFN) with fully supervised algorithm (trained using daily data) was applied to two most flood prone river basins for forecasting one day ahead discharge at two respective river gauging stations. Upper Kalu River basin with smaller catchment area and smaller catchment response time did not show good forecasting results, but Kelani River catchment with comparatively large catchment area, with a response time of almost a day, showed good forecasting results. It was concluded that the GRBFN could be successfully applied to daily river stage/discharge forecasting for comparatively lager catchments with larger response time (close to a day).

  • Seasonality Impels the Antibiotic Resistance in Kelani River of the Emerging Economy of Sri Lanka ✉ Manish Kumar 1 , G
    www.nature.com/npjcleanwater ARTICLE OPEN Seasonality impels the antibiotic resistance in Kelani River of the emerging economy of Sri Lanka ✉ Manish Kumar 1 , G. G. Tushara Chaminda2 and Ryo Honda 3 We evaluated the occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, antibiotic-resistant gene, and metal concentration in a tropical river of Sri Lanka as a pre-emptive effort to understand the seasonal impact on their prevalence. Resistance for norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, kanamycin monosulfate (KM), tetracycline (TC), and sulfamethoxazole (ST) was measured with Kirby–Bauer disc diffusion method. The prevalence of Escherichia coli ranged from 10 to 27 CFU (colony-forming unit) ml−1 in Kelani River in Sri Lanka, and most of the E. coli isolates were resistant to more than one antibiotic. However, the resistance for TC and ST was much higher than other antibiotics. We found that the resistance percentage for older antibiotics like TC and ST was higher than the newer antibiotics. We detected genes that confer resistance to TCs, sulfonamides, β-lactams, and fluoroquinolones. Seasonal variation in the resistance of fluoroquinolones was much higher than the non-fluoroquinolones, but the effect was antagonistic. Overall, the significant seasonal variations imply the importance of mixed source and environmental conditions for development and transmission of antibiotic resistance. npj Clean Water (2020) 3:12 ; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41545-020-0058-6 1234567890():,; INTRODUCTION Introduction of ARGs into water bodies via anthropogenic 17 Antibiotic resistance and multidrug resistance are emerging activities include runoff from urban areas, aquaculture , agricul- 18 environmental concern owing to its potential threat to human ture, animal husbandry , and effluent from hospitals and 19,20 health, and fast-growing and widespread increase.

Box 1000 (61 Route 9W), Palisades, NY 10964, USA Received 4 June 2005; received in revised form 13 November 2006; accepted 27 November 2006 KEYWORDS Summary We investigate the viability of using El Nin˜o–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and El Nin˜o–southern sea surface temperature (SST) data to predict seasonal streamflow for one of the major oscillation; rivers in Sri Lanka, the Kelani, using correlation analysis, contingency tables, and principal Seasonal climate component analysis. The agricultural seasons in Sri Lanka are Yala (April–September) and predictions; Maha (October–March). The correlation between the Kelani River streamflow during Yala Streamflow variability; and ENSO indices (r = À0.41) is significant at 99% level. In addition, the Kelani streamflow Monsoon; during Yala has a correlation with the Central Indian Ocean SST (r = À0.40) that is also sig- Sri Lanka nificant at the 99% level. The first principal component of the Indo-Pacific Ocean SST is reminiscent of the SST associated with the ENSO mode. A prediction scheme based on this mode for the streamflow during Yala has a skill characterized by a correlation of 0.5 in a cross-validated mode. The prediction of streamflow during Maha is best carried out separately for the two halves of the season.
