Water Resources Board testing labs are leading water testing laboratories that specializes in analyzing of ground water on drinking purpose.   

Laboratory staff is trained not only on the tests they perform but on the basics of water operations which allows them to understand why they are performing the tests they perform. We are accredited in accordance with SLAB (Sri Lanka Accreditation Board) and commit to providing defensible data at a competitive price with first-class customer service.

The Water Resources Board’s Water Quality Laboratory including five laboratories in four districts is a full service laboratory that specializes in water analytical chemistry. The laboratories primary mission is to support WRB programs that require water quality analyses, by providing reliable chemical data for national assessment and groundwater trend analysis. This mission directly supports the WRB, which also mean providing the nation with reliable water quality information to help decision makers manage the Nation’s groundwater resources. This is how laboratories contribute in above aspects

About Us

The WRB was established in 1966 by the parliament Act No. 29 of 1964 and presently operating under Ministry of Water Supply "Adequate access to clean and safe water for all." Our aim is to conserve and sustainably utilize water resources of the country by using new technologies and management tools. Hence, the services of the WRB extends to develop the water resources to meet the growing demands of the country in domestic, industrial and agricultural sectors. Although, Sri Lanka is not considered as a water scarce country, in particular to groundwater, quantity, quality and availability of groundwater has started to deteriorate due to increasing human activities. This undesirable groundwater deterioration relates to land subsidence and seawater intrusion; coincides with urban development and excessive groundwater extraction. WRB is dedicated to research and training people to address these groundwater issues in the country.
