N2  - This study presents an evaluation of economic benefits from  irrigation and energy generation in the Mahaweli River Basin, Sri Lanka  which consists of number of multipurpose reservoirs. The Mahaweli  Development Project has been established to meet two main objectives,  namely water supply for irrigation and hydroenergy generation . This  analysis presents how the water can be best used between these two  objectives.  At the first stage of the analysis irrigation demands in the system  were completely relaxed and then by imposing irrigation demands into the  system by little degrees the performances of the system was observed in  monetary terms. Depending on these observations minimum loss operation  condition was found. Deterministic inflow data occurred in the past were  used for the analysis. Data of three different kinds of years, namely dry  year, wet year and average year were used.  Mainly two mathematical models were developed in this study . They  are IDP model for energy maximization from the power plants and GP model  for supplying water for irrigation. The GP model was divided into two  stages in order to determine final outcome from irrigation. Simplified  configurations were used in solving both IDP and GP models. Rule curves  for reservoirs in irrigation areas have also been developed as a result  of this study. Analysis was performed for both 3-year and 1-year time  horizons
