Notes

CBSL Economic and Social Statistics, table 1.28. Compiled by Mahaweli Authority of Sri Lanka. Settlements (families, cumulative for the year) and land cultivated (hectares) under the Mahaweli Programme, by system (B, C, D, E, G, H, L, Huruluwewa, Udawalawe, Victoria/Kotmale/Rambakenoya, Rambakan Oya). Land Cultivated splits each system into Paddy and Other Crops; Settlements does not. 'Total' is the sheet's own island-wide total, not a system. Source errors, kept as printed: System B's 2015 Paddy (41,332) + Other Crops (1,187) = 42,519 ha, not the printed system total of 40,519 ha (short by exactly 2,000); System E's 2024 Paddy (921) + Other Crops (1,335) = 2,256 ha against a printed 2,366 ha (short by 110); the island-wide 2015 Total (206,374) is itself short of Paddy+Other Crops summed across every system (208,374) by exactly the same 2,000 as System B's own shortfall, so System B's 2015 total appears to be the single figure at fault.
