usually i look for these things on wikipedia but all i could find was "the geography of sri lanka". heres a paragraph from that article:\n\nThe nature of agricultural pursuits in Sri Lanka has changed over the centuries and has usually depended upon the availability of arable land and water resources. In earlier times, when villagers had access to plentiful forests that separated settlements from each other, slash-and-burn agriculture was a standard technique. As expanding population and commercial pressures reduced the amount of available forestland, however, slash-and-burn cultivation steadily declined in favor of permanent cultivation by private owners. Until the 13th century, the village farming communities were mainly on the northern plains around Anuradhapura and then Polonnaruwa, but they later shifted to the southwest. In the 1980s, wide expanses of the northern and eastern plains were sparsely populated, with scattered villages each huddled around an artificial lake. The Jaffna Peninsula, although a dry area, is densely populated and intensively cultivated. The southwest contains most of the people, and villages are densely clustered with little unused land. In the Central Highlands around Kandy, villagers faced with limited flat land have developed intricately terraced hillsides where they grow rice. In the 1970s and 1980s, the wet cultivation area was expanding rapidly, as the government implemented large-scale irrigation projects to restore the dry zone to agricultural productivity. In the 1980s, the area drained by the Mahaweli Ganga changed from a sparsely inhabited region to a wet rice area similar to the southwest. Through such projects, the government of Sri Lanka has planned to recreate in the dry zone the lush, irrigated landscape associated with the ancient Sinhalese civilization.

Sri Lanka was a British colaney and the English brought Tamil people from India to work in tea estates which they started. So many of them were brought and now they want a seperate state saying that this was their motherland. But does UK help Sri Lanka in this conflict ? No.They just give out smug ideas and advice.

It is with great trepidation I discuss the creation of the new nation.  It's current recreation is fornication which has lead to drastic dehydration and procreation.  We need to find a location for the re-hydration station as it's current situation is in need of relocation.\n\nI've done the paragraph and I am filled with humiliation at the state of my exultation.

The Narmada Dam Project, is a project involving the construction of a series of large hydroelectric dams on the Narmada River in India.Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP) is the largest multipurpose project in it. The project was first conceived of in the 1940s by the country's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. The project only took form in 1979 as part of a development scheme to increase irrigation and produce hydroelectricity. Of the 30 large dams planned on river Narmada, Sardar Sarovar is the largest. With a proposed height of 136.5 m, it's also high on discord between the planners and the Narmada Bachao Andolan. The multi-purpose project will irrigate more than 18,000 square kilometres - most of it in drought prone areas like - Kutch and Saurashtra.\n\nThe expected benefits of the dam as listed in the Judgement of Supreme Court of India are as follows: " The benefits expected to flow from the implementation of the Sardar Sarovar Project had been estimated as follows:\n\nIrrigation: 1,792,000 km² of land spread over 12 districts, 62 talukas and 3393 villages (75% of which is drought-prone areas) in Gujarat and 730 km² in the arid areas of Barmer and Jalore districts of Rajasthan. \nDrinking water facilities to 8215 villages and 135 urban centers in Gujarat both within and outside command.These include 5825 villages and 100 urban centers of Saurashtra and Kachchh which are outside the command. In addition, 881 villages affected due to high contents of fluoride will get potable water. \nPower Generation: 1450 megawatts. \nAnnual Employment Potential: \n700,000 man-years during construction \n600,000 man-years in post construction. \nProtection against advancement of little Rann of Kutch and Rajasthan desert. \nFlood protection to riverine reaches measuring 300 km², 210 villages including Bharuch city and 750,000 population. \nBenefits to: \na) Dhumkhal Sloth Bear Sanctuary.\nb) Wild Ass Sanctuary in Little Rann of Kachchh\nc) Black Buck Sanctuary at Velavadar.\nd) Great Indian Bustard Sanctuary in Kachchh\ne) Nal Sarovar Bird Sanctuary.\n\nDevelopment of fisheries: Deepening of all village tanks of \ncommand which will increase their capacities, conserve water, will recharge ground water, save acquisition of costly lands for getting earth required for constructing canal banks and will reduce health hazard.\n\nFacilities of sophisticated communication system in the entire \ncommand.\n\nIncrease in additional annual production on account of (the dam ) \nAgricultural production- Rupees 9,000,000,000, Domestic water supply-Rupees 1,000,000,000, Power Generation -Rupees 4,400,000,000 thus totalling Rupees 14,000,000,000."

Well i should ask you, about the killings that the the LTTE has done for the last few years of cease fire! and what about the bomb in the ancient city of anuradhapura which killed 70 school children? this war is not between Tamils and Sinhalese, but between the LTTE leader ( who threw a lavish b'day party in London for his daughter, when he is recruiting child soldiers in Sri Lanka) who wants to retain his power and the Sri Lankan Government, the truth about the photograph's should be dealt with carefully, and i wish to urge to those who read not to throw your self but to search for facts before!

WHAT U R TAKING ABOUT????\n\nIf u r talking about the recent election result then thats nothing to do with money. \n\nThe result showed talent of a experienced politian kalaingar. During election campaign he started different way of canvassing. He made initiatives and started giving promises. Basically whatever statements or promises ADMK gave are only reactions.\n\nIf tamilians are money oriented then they should have voted for the MGR's mistress, because she was offering better by giving computers and rice freely compared to color TV and 2 rupee rice.\nSo it clearly shows that tamilans are not money oriented they  very clever, so they are choosing the government in rotation basis. \n\nSO WHATEVER HAS HAPPENED IS FOR GOOD.

Bharath is a great country with en-lighted superb leaders like Gandi, Neru. India has a vision and mission on their development. They appreciate what they produce. They buy their nations product. They do not hang on other nations economy. So as a Sri Lankan I am proud of my neighbor country. I wish it will devolop soon in coming years.

Hi,\n\nIn simple terms it is a part of their subterranean irrigation system. Since it is so hot there they dont use open canals to water their fields for the risk of water getting evaporated so quickly. So instead they have developed a system of making covered or underground channels to carry water from the wells to the fields. These underground water channels are called Karaze, and the well that supplies water to them is a karaze well.

I was having this talk with a Sinhalese guy last week. The LTTE don't actually want peace or perhaps even an independent nation.\n\nHow are they going to build that nation with no infrastructure, currency, trade, education? Who is going to run schools, banks and ports....etc.?\nNo, they want this guerrilla war to go on and on, every time there's a ceasefire, sooner or later they will be a breach and escalation in hostilities... why?\n\nBecause in this way, they will always garner support, people will still support them with funds, manpower etc. When there is peace, there are hard questions to deal with and the LTTE knows it. \n\nBack to your question, I think the Sri Lankan military still do not have the means to totally wipe the Tigers out. And even if they did, they would need a political settlement because the Tigers still enjoy widespread support in Jaffna.

If it wasn't for the revenue from licences and the vigilance of fishermen our rivers would be in a state. How much time do the antis spend near the water, how much knowledge do they have of aquatic life and what are they doing to keep rivers and ponds maintained. I've been in a syndicate before, the lake was dug on an old grass-track racing track. The lake is teeming with life, we maintained it and paid particular attention ti the wildlife that we were keen to attract to the water, from insects up to water birds and even mammals such as the water vole which is supposed to be extremely rare. Pffft I've seen them every time I visited the lake. Anglers can also recognise the first signs of disease and nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand.\n\nWhat next? Ban fly spray?
