Abstract: A study of the irrigation and farming practices of an irrigation scheme in Sri Lanka's Angunukolapallessa area has been made and it has been pointed out that even though the broader aspect of water management of coping with scarcity and abundance has been achieved by collection of excess water and the regulated discharge of same through implementation of irrigation schemes inclusive of tanks, reservoirs, channels etc., to effectively and efficiently deal with scarcity & abundance of water the detail aspects of water management must also be looked into. It is also shown that to reach the higher levels of effective and efficient water management the involvement, education and training of all concerned is a necessity.
