   Author : Veronika Widengren; [2022]
   Keywords : WaPOR; remote sensing; evapotranspiration; crop water productivity; irrigation scheme; AquaCrop; Malwathu Oya; Sri Lanka; paddy rice; humid tropical climate; WaPOR; fjärranalys; evapotranspiration; vattenproduktivitet; bevattningssystem; AquaCrop; Malwathu Oya; Sri Lanka; ris; fuktigt tropiskt klimat;

   Abstract : With a changing climate and an increased competition over water resources for agricultural irrigation, the need to improve crop water productivity using time and cost-efficient methodologies have become critically important. The Malwathu Oya river basin in Sri Lanka is struggling with water scarcity, which threatens food security and the income of farmers. READ MORE

3. 2. Improved Understanding of Water Balance in the Malwathu Oya River Basin Using SWAT and Remote Sensing

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Alexander Fors; [2022]
   Keywords : actual evapotranspiration; Malwathu Oya; remote sensing; Sri Lanka; SWAT modelling; SWAT calibration; WaPOR; water balance; faktisk evapotranspiration; fjärranalys; Malwathu Oya; Sri Lanka; SWAT-modellering; SWAT-kalibrering; vattenbalans; WaPOR;

   Abstract : As the need for climatic data is increasing in times of climate change and water scarcity, remote sensing (RS) and hydrological modelling are ways to battle these problems, especially in data scarce areas. The actual evapotranspiration (ETa) is one of the key parameters when assessing the water balance and a good estimate of this parameter is thus of great importance. READ MORE

5. 4. The effects of inlet sedimentation on water exchange in Maha Oya Estuary, Sri Lanka

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Linda Nylén; Ebba Ramel; [2012]
   Keywords : Maha Oya; water exchange; seasonal closure; HEC-RAS; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The Maha Oya river mouth, located on the west coast of Sri Lanka, is seasonally closed by a sand bar formed at the river mouth due to little rainfall and thus little river discharge. A new Outlet, located just north of the Maha Oya river mouth, was created by the 2004 tsunami. READ MORE

6. 5. Salinity Intrusion into the Maha Oya Estuary and Associated Coastal Waterway
