- Environmental Resource Information System of Sri Lanka
Objective of this study is to develop and Environmental Resource Information System for the country which can be used as a tool for environmental management, planning, monitoring and awareness activities. This spatial database will include Environmentally related information such as water resources, wetlands, forest, wildlife and archaeological monuments etc. and socio economic data at the Grama Niladari level.
- Industrial Survey
Objective of this survey is to develop an Industrial data base with spatial information of industries of ‘A’ , ‘B’ and ‘C’ categories. This information would later be used to monitor industrial activities
