The 24 hour water supply will be curtailed to 18 hours a day in the near future, due to the adverse drought conditions prevalent in the country, National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) Chairman K.A. Ansar said.

Ansar said they looked forward to public support to collect water for those affected by the drought while conserving remaining water resources.

“We will be at risk if we supply water in a continuous manner during such weather,” Ansar said. (Jayantha Samarakon)

I guess this is a good idea, but why stop there?We already have the planned shutting down of BIA airport for a long part of the day, why not cut off power supply, telephone, and everything else as well?Surely that would be the best way (the only way according to the government to do anything)

The weather patterns have changed drastically the monsoons are no longer reliable. It is about time we think of salt water desalination at least for the dry areas. They can act as backup for the other areas in a drought.
