The purpose of the Water Resources leaders Forum (WRLF) is to coordinate and facilitate the orderly development and efficient management of water resources by providing an interactive platform (forum) for discussion and development of ideas, plans and proposals towards meeting the fresh water needs of the residential, agricultural, fisheries, commercial and industrial sectors, initially in the Northern province of Sri Lanka, through:
minor tank restoration and development;
rainwater harvesting;
ground water recharging;
flood mitigation and
conservation.
The platform helps forum members by:
making relevant planning information available to enable identification of need, prioritization, scoping and development of projects in an integrated manner;
providing educational material and information on best practices for project design, project construction, project implementation and operations, and
facilitating discussions, communications and data sharing between project developers, funding organizations, stakeholders, farming groups, Governmental entities and educational institutions to facilitate coordinated action toward meeting the objectives of the WRLF.
