DESCRIPTION:The dry-zone water-harvesting and management system in Sri Lan
 ka is one of the oldest historically recorded systems in the world. A subs
 tantial number of ancient sources mention the management and governance st
 ructure of this system suggesting it was initiated in the 4th century BCE 
 and abandoned in the middle of the 13th century CE. In the 19th century CE
 \, it was reused under the British colonial government. Over the centuries
 \,large-scale irrigation works were important to expand and develop the Dr
 y Zone hydraulic civilization throughout the northern lowland plains and t
 o enhance the livelihoods of the people by ensuring water availability thr
 oughout the year. After nearly five centuries of abandonment\, the water m
 anagement and governance systems in the Rajarata kingdom were reutilized u
 nder the British colonial regime.
