Integrated Rice-fish farming (IRFF) represents a symbiotic farming system where fish are cultivated in rice fields. This review aimed to assess the relevance and role of IRFF as a strategic approach to ensure food security ...

Despite its numerous advantages, the adoption of integrated rice-fish farming (IRFF) in the context of Sri Lanka remains limited. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the perception and knowledge of rice farmers ...

Aquatic plants face an array of stresses within the environment, while the water movements play a significant role in this regard. Although, velocity of flow and water level fluctuations has been extensively studied, ...

Microplastics (MPs) have been studied across coastal waters as they impact on ecological integrity of those sensitive ecosystems. Under this context, spatiotemporal variability of MPs level is a potential confounding ...

Flooding is a major risk in tropical regions, with Sri Lanka especially vulnerable due to its vast river network. The present study examined the Nilwala River catchment in the Southern Province, a region experiencing ...

Rainfall is a primary source of water not only for rain-fed and irrigated agriculture systems but also for many other industries that rely on hydroelectricity in Sri Lanka. Globally, there is a temporal and spatial ...

Freshwater ecosystems harbor exceptional biodiversity, yet they remain highly sensitive to changes in physical and chemical conditions, making continuous monitoring essential for evaluating their ecological health. Benthic ...
