  • This study considered the future precipitation prediction data in delineating locations for new water storage projects in the country
  • This study reveals that the districts of Colombo, Kalutara, Gampaha and Galle should be prioritized in large scale water storage projects.
  • The dry zone can self-sustain with the available water storages.

  • Green space development project alleviated LST.
  • Environment Criticality Index (ECI) indicates the environmentally critical areas.
  • Environmentally critical areas are mainly concentrated in city center and along the main transport corridor.
  • Attention should be paid to reduce the environmental stress in urban planning.

  • The computed sea level rise trends around Sri Lanka are around 2.5 to 3 mm per year.
  • The obtained trend of sea level rise from the altimetry data was found to be highly correlated with the tide gauge data in Colombo.
  • It is possible to use satellite altimetry successfully, to investigate the long term sea level trend studies, particularly in the absence of long term tide data.
