It is reported that the Irrigation Department has requested the people to use water sparingly due to the dry weather.
The department emphasizes to the people that the hot weather will last until the middle of April, so be careful about this.
Apart from this, Dr. Hemali Kothalawala, Director of the Department of Animal Production and Health, said to pay special attention to the animals and to pay special attention to the dairy cows.
The lady has further stated that by providing sufficient water to the animals, the reduction in milk production can be prevented and thus the dehydration of the animals can be reduced.
