Abstract

This research study presents the results of a Post Graduate Work at the University of Colombo to develop a Training Plan for the Water Management Staff involved in the Operation and Maintenance (0 & M) of the irrigation Systems in System "B". Training in water management is required to improve both the flexibility and efficiency of water distribution for the more sophisticated agricultural cropping patterns involved in diversified cropping. Training in water management is also required to ensure continuous effective operations through a well designed programme of systematic maintenance.
