Practices of Downscaling Methods for Water Resources Management in Sri LankaPixel Clear (Pvt) Ltd
This document discusses methods for downscaling water resources management predictions in Sri Lanka. It examines using statistical downscaling with seasonal climate models (SCM), spatial synoptic classification (SSE), and multi-model regression (MRG) to predict rainfall and temperature in the OND season. SCM achieved a 44% success rate for both rainfall and temperature predictions. Dynamic downscaling was also explored using RegCM4 software for the South-West monsoon season, which achieved results consistent with past data. Further long-term simulations with RegCM3 and more station data are recommended to improve predictions.

Specifically, it notes that groundwater provides over 60% of total water needs and over 85% of drinking water needs in many cities. However, groundwater is often poorly managed. The document calls for mapping micro-watersheds and sub-aquifers to develop management plans, protecting aquifers from pollution, and harvesting rainwater, such as through the use of rain barrels on rooftops. Overall, the document advocates for integrated, sustainable water resource management.
This document discusses solutions for providing clean drinking water and sanitation in India. It proposes using silver nanoparticle water purification plants that can produce affordable drinking water. It also recommends establishing eco-sanitation toilets that reuse waste and produce fertilizer. Challenges include ensuring equal access for all villages and populations during implementation across India. Pipelines and passes may help address challenges until the systems are fully established.
Water management in India: By Gita Kavaranabmbks321
The document discusses the growing global water crisis and India's water challenges. It notes that over 75% of the world's population now lives in areas with low water availability. In India, heavy use of surface and groundwater without recharging has led to falling water tables and pollution of water sources. Most proposed solutions involve large, costly infrastructure projects, but these are not sustainable. The document argues for an alternative approach of rainwater harvesting using traditional decentralized methods, which do not require huge investments and can meet water needs sustainably.
The document discusses water resource management and presents insights from an IBM Watson analytics model. The model examines the impact of precipitation, temperature, and per capita water usage on optimal water conservation techniques. It finds that water treatment plants are often the best solution for areas with extreme temperatures and low precipitation. Underground water harvesting is commonly recommended, as it is an affordable option for countries with medium to high precipitation and temperatures. The model can help countries select efficient techniques by considering their unique climatic conditions.

Future of water and agriculture in Sri Lanka in the face of climate change, N...Global Water Partnership
This document discusses the future of water and agriculture in Sri Lanka in the face of climate change. It outlines observed changes like increasing temperatures and variable rainfall patterns. Projected changes include continued warming and uncertain rainfall projections. Impacts could include reduced water resources and agricultural yields. Climate change vulnerability hotspots are typical farming areas with high exposure, sensitivity, and low adaptive capacity. Responding will require mitigation, adaptation, and addressing knowledge gaps.
Contemporary industry and agriculture account for 92% of global freshwater use primarily to increase food and goods production rather than sustainability. This unsustainable management of a finite resource causes water scarcity. As population grows and wealth increases, over-extraction and pollution of freshwater will exacerbate the crisis unless addressed.

Hydroelectricity harnesses the kinetic energy of flowing water and is the most widely used renewable energy source, accounting for 16% of global electricity. China produces the most hydroelectricity but dams can harm local ecosystems by interrupting river flows. Tidal energy converts the kinetic energy of tides into electricity and has potential but high costs and limited sites have restricted its use. Geothermal energy uses heat from within the earth as a renewable source for power plants. Wave energy devices extract energy from ocean wave motion and pressure fluctuations. The Narmada Bachao Andolan is a social movement against large dams on the Narmada River in India, including the Sardar Sarovar Dam, due to environmental and social impacts

Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals, usually referring to hydroxylapatite, fluorapatite and chlorapatite, named for high concentrations of OH−, F− and Cl− ions, respectively, in the crystal. A very rare strontium-rich member Apatite-(SrOH) also exists, with the Calcium partially replaced by Strontium. There is also a rare member of Apatite which has the phosphate radical (PO4) partially replaced by a carbonate radical (CO3). It is known as Carbonate-Apatite.
Sedimentary deposits have provided about 80- 90 percent of world production in the last ten years. Igneous deposits and metamorphic rock phosphates are also available. China, The USA, Morocco and Western Sahara produce rock phosphates from sedimentary origins while Russia, South Africa, Brazil produce igneous originated rock phosphates. Sri Lanka has an igneous rock phosphate mine located in Eppawala, In the Anuradhapura district of north central province of the country.
The Rock Phosphate Deposit covers an area of approximately 324 ha of land and Nearly 60 million Metric Tons of phosphates have been determined to exist. Lanka Phosphates Limited has the sole authority to mine phosphates in Eppawala.
Rocks are covered in red-brown earth and occasional vegetation is mined by open cast mining processes and the extracted rocks are crushed. In this stage rocks and crystals are separated. Crushed crystals produce High Graded Eppawala Rock Phosphates (HERP) and Eppawala Rock Phosphate (ERP) is produced by crushed rocks.
The solubility of Eppawala rock phosphate is low. Ground Eppawala rock phosphate is used only for perennials such as Tea, Coconut and Rubber and spice crops. It is not recommended to short term crops due to the low solubility. The requirement of soluble phosphates at the initial stages of plant growth is high. Therefore more effective phosphate fertilizers (Triple Super Phosphate [TSP] and Single Super Phosphate [SSP]) are imported to Sri Lanka in order to fulfill the requirements. Around US$ 20 million worth foreign exchange is used for the imports. Phosphate fertilizer application for agriculture in Sri Lanka is one of the lowest in Asia. Therefore Value addition to Eppawala rock phosphate will save foreign exchange. When consider about the potential industries based on Eppawala rock phosphate manufacturing of SSP and Pharmaceuticals, Biomaterials (Artificial limbs, teeth) Analytical reagents, Animal feeds, Phosphoric Acid, Detergents, Emulsifiers can be indicated.
Exploitation of rock phosphate causes severe impacts on the environment and sustainable management of rock phosphate can be recommended.
This document discusses wastewater reuse and reclamation.

It explains that water conservation is important because people use fresh water faster than it can be naturally replenished. Some tips include only running full dishwashers and washing machines, adjusting sprinklers to avoid watering paved areas, watering lawns in the morning or evening to reduce evaporation, and washing produce in a pan of water instead of running the tap.
this presentation is about the reuse of treated wastewater.Different application and technologies involved. I have also put four case studies taken from some journals mentioned.
Sri Lanka; Rainwater Harvesting Projects in Sri LankaV9X
SOS Malta began implementing rainwater harvesting projects in Sri Lanka following the 2005 tsunami to provide communities with access to safe drinking water. The organization provided training to local residents on designing and installing inexpensive domestic rainwater collection systems. SOS Malta's long-term goals were to promote rainwater harvesting techniques, conduct awareness programs, and support the development of rainwater harvesting infrastructure in schools and villages. Through participatory approaches involving local organizations, SOS Malta established several community-based rainwater harvesting systems and trained local residents to maintain the systems and manage local water resources sustainably.
Sri Lanka; Promoting Domestic Rain Water Harvesting in Sri LankaV9X
The Lanka Rain Water Harvesting Forum (LRWHF) was formed in 1996 to promote rainwater harvesting in Sri Lanka. Through demonstration projects, training, and influencing policy, LRWHF has helped over 30,000 rainwater harvesting systems to be installed. In 2005, Sri Lanka adopted the world's first National Policy on Rainwater Harvesting due to lobbying by LRWHF. The policy aims to encourage communities to manage their own water resources. While LRWHF has successfully promoted rainwater harvesting rurally, further efforts are needed to address costs and change perceptions to ensure proper, long-term use of these systems.
The document discusses opportunities and challenges in the global water sector. It notes that while over 1 billion people lack access to clean water, providing solutions is complex due to issues like non-functional infrastructure, lack of community involvement, and ineffective technology deployment. Large projects have mixed results, and women and children are disproportionately impacted. Maintaining water systems is difficult due to corrosive water and expanding pipes. Many past projects failed due to poor planning, lack of maintenance resources, and losing trust when water quality declined. The document argues innovative water products must consider long-term usage, verification, and users who cannot detect failures. Politics, regulations, and the "tragedy of the commons" also impact solutions.
Water is essential for life but is increasingly scarce globally. Pakistan has abundant water resources from rivers and glaciers but also faces water scarcity issues. Water informatics uses information and communication technologies to help manage water resources equitably and efficiently by collecting data, estimating availability, predicting shortages, enabling adequate distribution, and supporting well-planned apportionment approaches. However, challenges remain in Pakistan including difficulties accessing information, lack of coordinated databases, shortage of trained professionals, and underutilization of water informatics potential.

This document discusses water issues and management in India. It notes that while India has large total water resources, availability and access are uneven both temporally and spatially. Population growth and increasing demand from agriculture, industry and domestic sectors are exacerbating water stress. Groundwater overexploitation is a major problem, with over 30 million wells. The document calls for more sustainable and equitable water management based on principles of social and environmental responsibility. It proposes a framework where industries view themselves as part of the broader water ecosystem and engage in sustainable practices both within and outside their facilities.
This document discusses groundwater resources in Bangladesh and the need for effective groundwater governance. It makes three key points:
1) Groundwater is an essential resource but accounts for a small portion of available freshwater. Over-extraction is a major problem in Bangladesh.
2) Existing policies and frameworks aim to ensure sustainable groundwater use, protect resources, and align water management across sectors and agencies. However, implementation challenges remain.
3) Effective long-term groundwater monitoring is needed to understand aquifer systems, trends in water levels and quality, and inform evidence-based management decisions around resource protection and sustainable development.
Desalination Approach of Seawater and Brackish Water by Coconut Shell Activat...ijtsrd
"Engineers are challenged to develop cost effective ways to produce large quantities of water suitable for drinking, crop irrigation and commercial use for regions of the world that suffer from water shortages. Water desalination is expensive, requiring large amounts of energy and specialized equipment to convert saltwater into drinking water. The present study aims to develop a cheaper, cleaner, easy and more energy efficient way of desalinating seawater technique by using natural filters, it can help the common people as it affordable during their immediate requirements. The developed technique seemed to be very effective in reducing the concentration of seawater ions. The desalination system is developed by selecting coconut shell charcoal as the substrate material. As per the results obtained from prototype of seawater and brackish water, there is 60 reduction in chloride and 75 reduction in sodium this is mainly due to the usage of activated carbon charcoal as the filter media. It is also observed through experiments that there is 100 reduction in iron,53 reduction in sulphate, 20 reduction in total dissolved solids and 12 reduction in hardness which clearly indicates that the selected filter medias those are activated carbon charcoal, sand, laterite would be used as the filter medias for future experiments on desalination using natural filters.This work is to present an overview of current and future technologies applied to the desalination of brackish as well as seawater to produce freshwater for supplementing drinking water supplies to the common people in smaller quantity. Removal efficiency increases with the increase in contact time respectively, for both seawater and brackish water, which was considered to be maximum purification ~40 .

Water conservation is any reduction in water loss, use, or waste through improved efficiency or reduced consumption. Water management aims to allocate water resources equitably among competing demands. Singapore is a model for water management, sourcing water from four "taps": local catchment, imported water, recycled water (NEWater), and desalinated water. NEWater and desalinated water increase Singapore's water supply through advanced purification and desalination technologies.

Design for Harvesting and Treatment of Rainwater in Naval, Biliranijtsrd
The study takes advantage of rainwater, a naturally processed water. Developing a design for an affordable, less chemically oriented method that would help many people gain access to the water they need easily. The design used materials that were cheap and can be easily accessed on the local market. The process starts from a stage where large particles of contaminants were removed through straining. The next was iltering the water through a sequence of sponge, charcoal, coarse and fine sand. And lastly was chlorination, which treated the rainwater from the bacteria's which were previously not removed from the filter. The study came up with the design that were easily availed on the local markets of Naval, Biliran. The components were easy to install and were effective in harvesting rainwater. The treatment results were not what the researchers envisioned it to be, but still they were able to produce safe drinking water. Sure enough, it could be an alternative for other uses aside from drinking. The design was incomplete, especially on the part of the treatment device thus, further studies are recommended for its improvement. Nevertheless, the study proved that simple customized rainwater harvester and treatment device is achievable with the materials that can easily be found on the local market. Ramon L.
