Socio-economic Impacts
•Decline in the number of lagoon fishermen
•Diversification of livelihoods – lagoon fishing now only 28 % of income
•Reduction in income from lagoon fishing from RS 2000 to RS 100-150 per day (average in the area for all livelihoods RS 4350)
•Average income from paddy is RS 3097

WEAP - Scenarios
• Discussed scenarios based on water Discussed scenarios based on water sources sources and and demanddemandwith FGD participantswith FGD participants
e.g. WEAP-Livelihoods scenario – if 10 % less water is available e.g. WEAP-Livelihoods scenario – if 10 % less water is available for irrigation and yield decreases by 20 %, then rich farmer’s for irrigation and yield decreases by 20 %, then rich farmer’s income will decrease and poor farmers will diversify into income will decrease and poor farmers will diversify into labour work labour work
““If the lagoon returns to its original size the number If the lagoon returns to its original size the number of households in Thuduwa engaging in lagoon of households in Thuduwa engaging in lagoon fishing as a primary livelihood activity will increase fishing as a primary livelihood activity will increase from 20 % to 90 %”from 20 % to 90 %”
