Abstract

The ancient Sri Lankan village tank cascade system (VTCS) is a unique agricultural system that irrigates 35% of rice lands in Sri Lanka. Climate change, population growth, and social determinants are increasing pressure on VTCS, and the available water resources are being limited and competing with other water users. Therefore, effective water management on the field and landscape scale needs attention to address these challenges.
