To satisfy the global demand for food by 2015, water requirements for agriculture are expected to be increased by 1.2 times (IGES, 2003). Therefore, it is extremely important to adopt an appropriate irrigation technology which maximises water use efficiency to meet the anticipated water demand. Micro Irrigation (MI) technology which includes bpth drip and sprinkler systems is proved to be an efficient method of water saving in irrigated agriculture The government has implemented many subsidy schemes to invest large amounts of money to promote MI technology. The government is focusing on supporting drip irrigation considering its higher efficiency in water saving compared to sprinkler irrigation. This study is aimed at identifying the current status of drip irrigation adoption and the problems and options for increasing the area under drip irrigation in Sri Lanka.
