Short summary
This focused on my experience as an Engineer in the Mahaweli River basin. Simultaneously, Floods & droughts are the major problems in this basin, I tried to use the upper reservoirs to control these disasters by finding the reasons and ways to manage these difficulties by using gathered knowledge at ICHARM. This helps me to understand the conflict among stakeholders, and find the reasons and solutions for efficient water management in the system, by developing a physical model based on policies.
