Preserved Fulltext
The tsunami that struck the Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004, devastated parts of Sri Lanka's southern and eastern coastline. As well as killing 31,000 people, it also destroyed wells that fell within the range of the saline floodwater. As a result, many families living along the island's east coast found their supplies of freshwater abruptly cut off. IWMI's research formed the basis of guidelines on cleaning wells that restore water quality and avoid outbreaks of infectious diseases.
