The MWSIP will assist the Government of Sri Lanka to complete outstanding water conveyance investments under the Mahaweli Development Program (MDP). Completion of MDP is a key priority of the government and will maximize the productivity of Mahaweli River Basin water resources by transferring available water to the northern dry zone areas of Sri Lanka for irrigation, drinking, and commercial purposes. MWSIP’s ultimate goal is to increase agricultural production, improve the accessibility of safe drinking water for the people, and encourage economic growth in the northern dry zone of Sri Lanka. This will accelerate local and also national economic growth.
