Kotmale oya river using its origin in the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka at an elevation of 2134 m (7000 ft.) running between both hills of Tispane and Kadadora resulted in the valley having a fertile soil, the ideal good earth for cultivation. Through the glorious days of ancient kings of Lanka too, the valley had been of immense vibrancy: paddy cultivation generator sri lanka
took root in clusters of villages amidst the industries of pottery and carpentry. It absolutely was home to goldsmiths as well as blacksmiths. Pidurutalagala Oya stream, Nanu oya river, Greogory’s tank rush within their waters to the Kotmale Oya river. So can be Devon falls, St Clair’s falls, Puna falls and Cat Snake Garadi falls. Because the glorious days of ancient Sri Lanka to the years of modern accelerated Mahaweli multi-purpose irrigation project, a huge level of water rushed in resulting in floods sinking clusters of hamlets and villages of the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka. The high watermark of floods are noted even today in the railway station of Gampola near Kandy, the gateway to Central Highlands of Sri Lanka.

Although the necessity of a dam was observed in 1950, a few years following independence from the colonial British rulers, it was just in 1961 the preliminary studies of the Kotmale project were carried out by the Government of Sri Lanka in partnership with US Agency for International Development (USAID) and then again by UNDP-FAO from 1964 to 1968. During the time between 1973 and 1976, a feasibility study was carried out by the water and Power Development Consultancy Services (India) Limited (WAPCOS). In 1979, Sir William Halcrow and Partners in association with Messrs Kennedy & Donkin and the Central Engineering Consultancy Bureau (CECB)of Sri Lanka were appointed to offer consultancy services: construction work commenced in February 1979; reservoir was impounded in November 1984; commercial power generation commenced in June 1985; ceremonially commissioned in August 1985.

Kotmale Dam, reservoir and power station

The dam with a Crest Period of 520 m and Height of 122 m created Kotmale reservoir, which at its full capacity regulates 174 million cubic meters of waters of the Kotamale Oya River. The water thus impounded is utilized first for the hydro electric power generation. The contribution to the national power grid of Sri Lanka by hydro electricity at Kotmale amounts to no less than 206 megawatts. Then a water is discharged to become listed on the confluence of Mahaweli ganga river and the Atabaghe Oya river.

But all the good things come at a price. generator sri lanka paid huge price for Kotmale dam, reservoir, tunnel and underground hydro electricity power station. Kotmale project is among the five head works projects of the mega project of Mahaweli River Diversification, the greatest (modern or ancient) irrigation scheme ever in the island.
57 villages were lost. 54 ancient and medieval Buddhist temples were sunk along with 57 villages on both banks of Kotmale Oya river hugging Tispane hill and Kadadola hill. It absolutely was thousands of times worse than floods. I was ironic. Everything in the valley was lost for the others of the time, even the floods. There won’t be floods any more, but there aren’t any more villages either. It had been analogous to throwing the baby with the bath water. However Sri Lanka wanted the accelerated Mahaweli multi-purpose irrigation project. How do you make an omelet without breaking the egg?
