The project is consequent to a request made by the National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWS&DB) to the Japanese embassy under the guidance of Minister Deinesh Gunawardena for immediate requirement of drinking water in the Northern Province. The Japanese government allocated Rs 260 million to the Sri Lankan government. The NWS&DB has taken steps to facilitate the related activities and ensure a smooth implementation of the project to benefit the people who are living in the Northern Province.
