Five (05) rainfall stations, Aranayaka_Mini Hydro, Eraminigolla, Polgahawela, Ambepussa, and Andigama Farm were considered for the Giriulla watershed while Giriulla Gauging station considered as streamflow station
Summary
From the time of ancient civilizations, mankind had been searching for water systems to fulfill their requirements. Around the world, water has become scarce in quantity and poor in quality. This has been mainly due to increased water consumption resulting from rapid population growth, development activities, and industrialization for economic prosperity [1]. This situation is severely affected by impacts from anthropogenic climate change [2]. The difference between demand and supply of clean water is closing at a very rapid rate.
