Download or read book Institutional changes to reduce land preparation delay in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka written by Ronald Loeve, and published by IWMI. This book was released on 2003 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many irrigation systems in the dry zone of Sri Lanka have water shortage problems. In spite of the fact that water shortage is a problem, water consumption is very high during land preparation which takes prolonged periods of time. This paper analyzes the impact of institutional interventions on efficient water management, especially during the land preparation period, based on research conducted in Huruluwewa, Rajangana, Nuwarawewa and Minneriya irrigation schemes in maha season (wet season which is from October to mid January) 2001/2002. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the factors behind prolonged periods of land preparation so that system managers and farmer communities can develop appropriate interventions to reduce water consumption during this period.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Uda Walawe Irrigation and Resettlement Project (UWIRP) located in the Southern dry zone of Sri Lanka was initiated in the early 1950s. The original plan for the UWIRP was a highly ambitious social, economic and physical engineering project aimed at creating a modern, profitable agriculture sector. This report examines the history of water resources development and investment decisions for the UWIRP over a period of 50 years and uncovers underlying processes that shaped the evolution of the project and highlights the limitation of viewing development as a mere set of technical and social engineering endeavors.

Download or read book Irrigation Management for Crop Diversification in Indonesia the Philippines and Sri Lanka written by Senen M. Miranda and published by IWMI. This book was released on 1989 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is a synthesis of IIMI's research on irrigation management for crop diversification in Indonesia, the Philippines and Sri Lanka. It provides some conclusions and recommendations, the potentials and constraints to more intensive non-rice production during the drier part of the year in irrigation systems that have been developed primarily for rice production. The research results obtained from selected irrigation systems sites in the three countries from 1985 to date were analyzed and compared by establishing common reference points where they existed, such as common constraints, potentials and institutional arrangements and by explaining differences based on observed data for each system. Relevant secondary data other than from the research sites were located to shed further insight in the synthesis.
