Abstract:	"Examines the spatial and temporal variations of water availability and demand in Sri Lanka, under both present conditions and projected conditions in 2025. Demonstrates that aggregated national-level statistics on water scarcity are misleading, even for a small country like Sri Lanka, in monsoonal Asia."
