Institutions, impact synergies and food security: a methodology with results from the Kala Oya Basin, Sri Lanka
This report analyzes a case from southern Sri Lanka, where the Samanalawewa dam and the Kaltota Irrigation Scheme (KIS) compete for the water of the Walawe river. At the catchment level, it is shown that dam releases are well attuned to the needs of KIS and to the occurrences of natural runoff, a...

Developing effective institutions for water resources management: A case study in the Deduru Oya Basin, Sri Lanka
Although many irrigation systems in the dry zone of Sri Lanka have water shortage problems, water consumption is very high during land preparation. This paper analyzes the impact of institutional interventions on efficient water management, especially during the land preparation period. It provid...
