7 GROUNDWATER MONITORING PROGRAMME In Jaffna Peninsula, well Monitoring programs are being conducted by WRB Results of well monitoring and water sample analysis revealed a high concentration of NO3 in groundwater exceeding maximum permissible level of WHO for drinking water in the western part of the Jaffna Municipal Area. Higher values of EC observed in southern and western part of Jaffna Municipal Area.

30 [4]. Alluvial Aquifers One of the largest carriers of groundwater among the sedimentary formation is river alluvium. Rivers such as Mahaweli ganga, Kelani ganga, Deduru oya, Mi oya, Kirindi oya and Malwathu oya have broad and deep alluvial beds in their lower reaches. Old buried river beds with high groundwater yields are present in the lower Kelani river aspects. This river alluvium may vary from 10 to 30 m in thickness Part of Puttalam water supply is drawn from alluvium of the Mi-oya.
31 ALLUVIAL AQUIFER OF MI-OYA
32 UTILIZATION OF GROUNDWATER IN COASTAL REGIONS Water supply to Jaffna is drawn 100% of the total requirement from shallow karstic aquifers. Water Supply to Mannar, Baticalloa and smaller towns are drawn from high yielding coastal sand aquifers Hambantota drew a part of its water supply from the sand dunes which occur very prominently around the town. Water suppiles to Koggala Free Trade Zone are drawn from high yielding coastal sand aquifer. The Katunayake moderately deep aquifer is now being fully exploited for both the requirement of the IAP and also industrial enterprises in Katunayake FTZ
