The Government of Sri Lanka has committed to a 10-year development framework of increased growth and policymakers in the Southern Province have embarked on an ambitious program of improved roads and other large infrastructure projects. Watershed management is perhaps the most significant issue since they supply such a wide variety of environmental services to the population and environment. Due to the numerous beneficial flows it is difficult to visualize any development that would not affect any of these values to some degree.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIESAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL LANDSAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL PURPOSESAGRICULTUREANNUAL SOIL LOSSAQUACULTUREAQUATIC ECOSYSTEMSARID LANDSBASINBASIN LEVELBASINSBAYBEQUEST VALUEBIODIVERSITYBIOLOGICAL CONTROLBIOLOGICAL DIVERSITYBIOLOGICAL RESOURCESBREEDING GROUNDBREEDING GROUNDSCANALSCARBONCASE STUDIESCHEMICAL FERTILIZERSCLAYCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECOASTCOASTAL AREASCOASTAL COMMUNITIESCOASTAL ECOSYSTEMSCOASTAL EROSIONCOASTAL PLAINSCOASTAL PROTECTIONCOASTAL WETLANDCOASTAL WETLANDSCOASTAL ZONESCOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMON PROPERTYCONSERVATIONCONSERVATION EFFORTSCONSTRUCTIONCONTINGENT VALUATIONCONTINGENT VALUATION METHODCORALCORAL REEFCORAL REEFSCOST SAVINGSCREEKSCRITICAL ECOSYSTEMSCROPPING SYSTEMSCROPSDAMSDATA COLLECTIONDECISION MAKINGDOMESTIC WATER USEDOSE-RESPONSE RELATIONSHIPSDRINKING WATERDRY PERIODSDRY SEASONECOLOGICAL FUNCTIONSECOLOGICAL ZONESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC BENEFITSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC PROCESSESECONOMIC VALUEECONOMIC VALUESECOSYSTEMECOSYSTEM GOODSECOSYSTEMSENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONSENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL FLOWSENVIRONMENTAL GOODSENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESENVIRONMENTAL QUALITYENVIRONMENTAL VALUESEROSIONEROSION CONTROLESTUARIESESTUARYEXISTENCE VALUEEXISTENCE VALUESEXPENDITURESEXPLOITATIONEXPORTEXTERNALITIESFARMERSFARMINGFARMING PRACTICESFISHFISH BREEDINGFISH STOCKSFISHERIESFISHERYFISHERY MANAGEMENTFISHINGFLOOD ATTENUATIONFLOOD CONTROLFLOODSFOOD PRODUCTIONFORESTFORESTRYFORESTSFRESH WATERFRESHWATERFRUITFRUITSGAUGINGHABITAT FUNCTIONSHEDONIC PRICINGINDUSTRIAL WASTEWATERINPUT PRICESISLANDLABOR COSTSLAGOONSLAKESLAND AREALATERAL DRAINSLIVELIHOODSLIVESTOCK PRODUCTIONMANGROVEMANGROVE FORESTSMANGROVE SWAMPSMANGROVESMARINE ECOSYSTEMMARINE ECOSYSTEMSMARKET PRICESMARSHMEADOWSNATIONAL PARKSNATIVE SPECIESNATURAL ECOSYSTEMSNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNATURENITROGENNON-USE VALUESNUTRIENTNUTRIENT CONTENTNUTRIENT LEVELSNUTRIENTSOPTION VALUEORGANIC MATTERPARKSPEATPERMEABILITYPHOSPHATEPHOSPHORUSPLANTATIONSPOINT SOURCEPOINT SOURCE POLLUTIONPOLLUTANTSPONDSPRECIPITATIONPRESENT VALUEPRESERVATIONPRODUCTION FUNCTIONSPROGRAMSPROPERTY VALUESPUBLIC GOODRAINFALLRAINFALL EVENTSRANGESRECHARGERECLAMATIONRECREATIONAL USERECYCLINGREEF FISHREMOVAL OF SOILREPLACEMENT COSTSRESERVOIRRESERVOIRSRESOURCE CONSERVATIONRESOURCE MANAGEMENTRESOURCE USERIVERRIVER BASINSRIVER SYSTEMSRUNOFFSALINE WATERSALT WATERSANDSEASEA GRASSSEA LEVELSEA LEVEL RISESEAWATERSEDIMENTSEDIMENT LOADSEDIMENTATIONSEWAGESEWAGE TREATMENTSHORESSOIL CONSERVATIONSOIL DEGRADATIONSOIL EROSIONSOIL FERTILITYSOIL PRODUCTIVITYSOILSSPECIESSTABILIZATIONSTREAMSTREAMSSUSTAINABILITY CONCEPTSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE FISHERIESSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE WATERSWAMPTIDAL MARSHESTIMBERTOPOGRAPHYTRADEOFFSTRAVEL COST METHODTSUNAMIURBAN WETLANDSUREAUSE VALUEVEGETATIONWAGESWASTEWATERWASTEWATER TREATMENTWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER DEMANDWATER ECOSYSTEMSWATER MANAGEMENTWATER POLLUTIONWATER QUALITYWATER RESOURCEWATER SHORTAGESWATER SUPPLYWATER SUPPLY PROJECTSWATER TABLEWATERFALLSWATERSHEDWATERSHED MANAGEMENTWATERSHED PROTECTIONWATERSHEDSWELLSWETLANDWETLAND AREASWETLAND HABITATSWETLANDSWETLANDS ASSESSMENTWILDLIFEWILLINGNESS TO ACCEPTWILLINGNESS TO PAYWTPWorld Bank10.1596/12488
