Rain Water Harvesting: Safe and adequate drinking water all year round

Rekeula GN Division in Polpithigama is a dry area in Kurunegala District. This area gets rain during few months of the year. Since there is a very deep ground water table, villagers face difficulties to find water rest of the year, especially safe drinking water.

Adapting to climate change through water management

Farmers in the dry zone of Sri Lanka experience extreme weather conditions, especially droughts due to effects of climate change. Water collected in the tanks during the short rainy season, is the determinant factor of the type and extent of crop cultivation during the dry season. This is very important especially in paddy cultivation, since it requires ample of water.
