Lessons of Experience
By
M.M.M.Aheeyar, V.K.Nanayakkara, M.A.C.S.Bandara
November 2008
The problem of water allocation among the sectors has emerged as a growing
problem in Sri Lanka. The water allocation mechanisms adopted in the country
have resulted in many problems of coordination and conflicts. This research
report has made an attempt to analyze the implications of the past water
allocation interventions in the socio economic conditions for the different
stakeholders and the lessons of experience, which are useful for the formulation
of sustainable water policy. The findings of the report are based on three
case studies conducted on water allocation namely at Thuruwila (between
agriculture and drinking water needs), Kalthota (between agriculture and
hydro-power generation) and Kirindi-oya Irrigation and Settlement Project
(between agriculture and livestock water needs) and the review of the
water allocation policies in selected countries.

Agricultural
Marketing Information Systems - Case Study in Matale District
By
L.P.Rupasena, Bandara Rathnayake, T.Ravichandran
December 2007
The
objective of the study was to recommend an appropriate and sustainable
agricultural Marketing Information System (AGMARIS) for the Matale district.
Setting up an AGMARIS at district level is necessary to access market
information by the stakeholders, specially farmers who operate at production
level. AGMARIS helps market participants to make informed decision in
their respective areas. For instance, the farmer can utilize market information
to decide what and when to plant; when and where to sell and at what price.
It is therefore necessary to set up a Marketing Information Unit (MIU)
at district level to provide timely, accurate and relevant information
on a continuous basis. |
