Water Supply And Sanitation

Domestic rainwater harvesting has been revived in Sri Lanka since 1995 with the Community Water Supply and Sanitation Project. Since then, through the efforts of the Lanka Rainwater Harvesting Forum (LRWHF, an NGO set up to pro-mote rainwater harvesting for domestic need), the technology and the concept has been spread to other parts of the country. At present there are over 31,000 domestic rainwater systems in the country. Rainwater harvesting has been successfully legalized in Sri Lanka.  Key words: Rainwater harvesting; Water quality; Sri Lanka; Technology; PolicyDOI: 10.3126/hn.v6i0.4189  Hydro Nepal Vol 6, January 2010 Page : 27-30 Uploaded Date: 24 January, 2011

Luminescence Dating of the Sediments from a Buried Channel Loop in Fatehabad Area, Haryana: Insight into Vedic Saraswati River and its Environment Geomorphology and sedimentary composition of an archeologically important palaeochannel segment of the Vedic Saraswati River in northwestern Haryana have been evaluated and its temporal relation with the surrounding upland examined with the help of OSL dating. Sediment composition and OSL ages suggest that the channel received enough water supply between 5.9 and 4.3 ka ago, and even before. Several lakes and ponds had developed during this period in the surrounding areas. It was a wet phase in this area as well as in Rajastahn. After ~4.3 ka, the river got starved of regular water supply, became sluggish and finally dried up. Reduced water supply, indicative of decreased rainfall, occurred between 4.3 and 3.4 ka ago. The environmental history of the channel might have influenced the Harrapan archeology of the area.
