THE ARTICAL

🌊Water the needs of nature and people🌊

Sri lanka is lucky that she does not have to share water with any other contry. Hence she is able to manage her water resources and mnimize environmental hazards. If we are to preserve the natural beauty of sri Lanka we hve to manage our water resourses well. Sri Lanka is called, 'the Pearl of Indian Ocean', because of her shape and natural beauty.

There are two aspects to water management ; firstly allocate water to the environment according to the environmental demands, secondly to supply the human requirenment of water for agricuiture, industry, power generation and domestic work.  

Excessive removal of water from rivers, tanks and other waterways has exposed bird, animal, fish and plant species to danger.it also has thereatened the livelihood of farmers and fishermen. Many people depnd on river water for drinking , cooking, washing and for various other uses. When the supply of water for irrigation is interrupted, the farmers cannot cultivate their lands and inland fishing will not be possible.


The flow of water keeps the ecosystem healthy and productive. Dr. Validimir Smakhtin , the principal researcher at the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) based in Colombo, points our that the water flow has to vary at different times of the year,to miantain the good health of the ecosystem. According to the IWMI, the environmental needs are not being met as too much of water ie being removed. The policy makers should pay greater attention to the over exploitation of fresh water. They must recognize the need to allocate water for the maintenance of the environment. The water wastage must be controiied. They must also monitor the flow of water and pay greater attention to environmental effects. Finally they must takes steps to maintain the ecosystem.

I have many teachers throughout my school life who have guided me and moulded me into a fine student. I'm ever so grateful to all of them who have shown me the correct path in life. I shall always remember them with gratitude and whish them good health and happiness throughout their life. There was one teacher who impressed me a lot out of all of them. She was Mrs. Amaya Senevirathna. Engllish, being my favourite subject i always had a special interest in learning the subject. The English teacher whome i met in grade eight was a very special one. She was very smart and always well dressed. She had short hair and very pleasent manner of talking. She was a very strict teacher but knew her subject well.

Before she gets down to the lesson she used to always make the class lively by either singing a song or reciting a poem with the students. We enjoyed this very much. When she begi

CLOWNS

Clowns enjoy making people laught. It's their job. They like it. They paint their face and put on funny nose. They smile a lot, but here's a funny thing - when they are not smiling , the make - up on their faces makes them look sad. Mostly though, clowns smile and laugh, they also wear funny clothes and funny shoes. We see them most often in circuses. They run, jump, fall down turn somersaults and cartwheels, do handstand and bunny rolls. They ride donkeys backwards, push each other in wheelbarrows and pour flour and buckets of water over each other when they pretend to be angry. Clowns have to work hard, though. They must train to keep fit and active. They must work long hours but the pay is quit low for most of them. They are kind people usually and they sometimes give a show free to an orphans' home or a hospital. Sick children and old people too, usually feel better after seeing the clowns. In fact ther is a saying "Lauhhter is the best medicine'.
