A considerable amount of rainfall was received across the country during the North-East monsoon (December 2020 to February 2021), however, it was less in the central areas compared to the long-term average. The DMC, NDRSC, Military, and Public Administrative agencies implemented a special preparedness programme which was supported by WFP and other agencies during October and November to prepare for the North-East monsoon, however only minor flooding was experienced in addition to the havoc created by cyclone “Burevi” in the northern region. Meanwhile, an above-normal rainfall was observed in North-central, North-western and Northern regions (Figure 01 & 02) during December and January, accumulating good water storage in tanks in the Dry & Intermediate zones. These favourable rainfall regimes during the “Maha” season helped to enhance the cultivation of paddy, vegeta bles, fruits and other cash crops, despite the COVID-19 outbreak. The 2020/21 "Maha" season harvest was above the 10-year average despite the delayed start of the season due to weak second inter-monsoon rains during Octo ber and November 2020. The movement restrictions imposed to contain the COVID-19 outbreak during October and November, impacted the household economy and food security in the country. The consequent return to functioning markets and sup ply chain helped to stabilize the demand and supply of food and other essentials. The Government also com menced an island-wide home gardening campaign to increase domestic production, which helped to provide stable income options for vulnerable communities while ensuring household food security. The current storage levels of major and medium reservoirs in the country are above average, which is conducive for a good Yala cropping season in 2021. For the next three months, near-normal rains are forecasted, associated with the conditions created by a mild La-Nina event currently observed in the equatorial Pacific Ocean and neutral IOD in the Indian Ocean, which may not negatively influence the water storage and cultivation in the 2021 Yala season.Item Special issue on selected papers from 2019 World Water Week(Journal Issue, 2021-01-20) Harris, G. D.; Barron, Jennie; Uhlenbrook, Stefan; Hussein, H.; Choi, G.Item Climate & Food Security Monitoring Bulletin Maha Season 2019 - 2020(Newsletter, 2020-04-20) International Water Management Institute; World Food ProgrammeA successful Maha Season 2019-2020 means paddy production is estimated to be sufficient to meet domestic demand until September 2020. Floods, mainly along the East and North coast, caused an estimated production loss of 57,065 Mt. This however, should not have an impact on short- to medium-term food security. Limitation of vegetables and onions were observed in early 2020.Item Building a common future: wetlands, biodiversity and people(Newsletter Article, 2020-02-01) Amerasinghe, Priyanie H.Item Feminist political ecologies of the commons and commoning(Journal Issue, 2019-05-14) Clement, Floriane; Harcourt, W.J.; Joshi, Deepa; Sato, C.Item Water justice, gender and disability(Journal Issue, 2017) Nicol, Alan; Cordier, S.; Clement, FlorianeItem Special Issue: Resource recovery from waste for agriculture, landscaping and aquaculture(Journal Issue, 2017) Drechsel, Pay; Otoo, Miriam; Paul, Johannes G.Item Five years after the Bonn Nexus Conference: implications for irrigation and drainage(News Item, 2016) Bird, JeremyItem Managing Rainwater and Small Reservoirs in Sub-Saharan Africa(Journal Issue, 2015-11) Cofie, Olufunke O.; Amede, TilahunItem Around the well: news, views and discussion on water and the environment in Sri Lanka(Newsletter, 2015) International Water Management InstituteItem Around the well: news, views and discussion on water and the environment in Sri Lanka(Newsletter, 2014) International Water Management InstituteItem Special Issue: Impact of Irrigation on Poverty and the Environment in Ethiopia(Journal Issue, 2010) Bossio, Deborah A.Item Smallholder system innovation for integrated watershed management in Sub-Saharan Africa(Journal Issue, 2011) Bossio, Deborah A.; Zaag, P. van der; Jewitt, G.P.W.; Mahoo, H.F.Item Newsletter of the West Africa Irrigation Network(Newsletter, 1990) International Irrigation Management InstituteItem Namanegdzanga: Irrigation et Environnement, issue 0(Newsletter, 1991) International Irrigation Management InstituteItem Namanegdzanga: Irrigation et Environnement, issue 1(Newsletter, 1993) International Irrigation Management Institute
