The Rotary Club of Colombo Mid Town together with the Wariyapola Club and with the support of the Rotary Club of Falkoping in Sweden, recently rehabilitated and vested 3 village irrigation tanks.
The scope of work involved in this project included de-silting of tanks, repairing sluice gates and reconstructing “Anicut” and rehabilitating “Tank Bund”.
Farmers were trained in maintaining the irrigation tanks and made aware of the economical use of water in cultivation.
The three tanks are located in Karagaswewa, Kuda wewa, Tissawa Maha Wewa and Kudalugahamula Wewa also known as Timbirigahamula Wewa.
The rehabilitation of irrigation tanks was funded through a “Global Grant” by Rotary Foundation. This project will directly benefit over 100 farmer families and ensure sufficient water supply to facilitate paddy cultivation in both seasons thereby improving the yield, and benefitting the farmers economically.
The Colombo Mid Town Club greatly appreciates and acknowledges the support of the Rotary Club of Wariyapola and the Falkoping Club which enabled the successful completion of this project.
