The Jaffna-Kilinochchi Water Supply and Sanitation Project (or JKWSSP) (Template:Lang-ta) is an under implementation project initiated by Government of Sri Lanka and funded by Asian Development Bank. This is a large scale project with a cost of LKR 18,328.19 million and benefiting 300,000 [1] people who are in immediate need of drinking water and sanitation facilities.
Background
The need to provide drinking water to Jaffna Peninsula and Kilinochchi District has been considered vital for more than two decades. After disasters, the Government of Sri Lanka as one of many infrastructure development projects, initiated JKWSSP in during 2010. However, the Feasibility Study was started early by 2005 by SMEC Consultants [2].
Location
The Project involves in two Districts of Northern Province, Sri Lanka, namely Jaffna and Kilinochchi. The two districts got affected by the long-term conflict and Tsunami that hit in 2004. Jaffna District had a population of 607,158 as of December 2012[3], while Kilinochchi District had 126,613 people by end of 2011.

Improvement of Iranaimadu Tank
The Iranaimadu Tank is a major Irrigation tank in the Northern Province of Sri Lanka. The tank was first built in 1902 with 49 Million m3. In 1951 the tank was raised to store water up to 88 m3. The tank was again augmented in 1954 with a capacity of 101 m3 of water. The tank remains declining in its strength since the last development in 1975 to be able to store 131 m3 for irrigation purpose. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/59/Downtream_of_Iranaimadu%2C_damaged.jpg
At present, the tank's bund has been weakened due to erosion and leakages. The downstream of the tank is dilapidated due to heavy outflow of water during rainy season. The tank needs renovation to prevent any possible outbreak and flooding. Meanwhile, it is suggested that the renovation should also include raising of the bund by two feet to augment its capacity to 148 m3, with a vision to utilize the additional water of 17 m3 of water for water supply and for additional irrigable lands.
The Improvement of Iranaimadu Tank component covers the needed renovation works to the tank as well as raising the bund by two feet, benefiting water users and farmers. This component is implemented by the Northern Provincial Council through Provincial Irrigation Department with a loan amount of USD $ 12.98 million.
