  • Watawala Carolina Tea Factory
    Watawala MAP OF WATAWALA AND AROUND Carolina Tea Factory - Watawala TP - 94 (0) 11 4702400 . Carolina Tea Company of Ceylon Ltd. Incorporated in 1892 is one of the pioneer tea companies in the country, set up primarily to plant tea. It consisted of a group of plantations situated in Lower Dickoya. They were Agarawatte, Carolina, Kandawella, Mount Jean, Wigton, Udeapola Group, Trafalgar, Goarfell and St.Margaret Estates.The Management of this group that was originally with Leechman and Company changed to Mackwoods Estates & Agencies Ltd. at a later date. According to the times of Ceylon Green Book of 1939, this group had over 1,000 hectares in tea, 245 hectares in rubber, a few hundred coconut trees, and 726 hectares uncultivated, comprising a total extent at the stage was considered a substantial area for administration. The Carolina tea factory was one of the original "central factories" constructed by the river that ran by the estate, to avail themselves of water power. It was indeed an improvement to some of other factories of the day, with no mud floors and cadjan roofs. The building was of wood assembled firmly on stone pillars. It had three floors going up to the height of 42 feet from ground to ridge. Provision had been made for further expansion, but there was sufficient space to accommodate all the leaf not only from that group, but from many other adjoining plantations who were satisfied with a return of 9 cents (about 2p) per pound. The novelty was that very often than not, the green leaf arrived by train.

At present, in Sri Lanka, about 600 stream sites have been identified as potential sites and about 150 plants have already been in operation in various river basins. Further, 1-2 km stream stretch had been notably affected at each small hydropower plant. In most cases, the developers do not maintain ecological flows, which is a requirement according to the Environmental Act of Sri Lanka. The negligence of the developers and poor understanding of the relevant authorities have led a devastating damage to the mountain stream ecosystems in terms of aquatic biodiversity and goods and services provided to the riparian communities. Therefore, Water Resources Science and Technology (WRST), a non-profit making company registered under guaranteed sought financial assistance from Asia-Pacific Network for Climate Change Research (APN)under CAPaBLE programme to carry out project with a view to build up the awareness of different categories of stakeholders in small hydropower generation sector, namely, small hydropower developers, consultants to developers, environmental officers, and relevant policy makers on the importance of correct design and operation of environmentally sustainable small hydropower plants.

Description of project activity A.1. Purpose and general description of project activity >> The main purpose of the project is to generate electricity from the renewable energy resources, secure energy security and be energy independent in some extent and to contribute sustainable development of the country. The Broadlands Hydropower Project is located on the middle reach of the Keleni River, which originates in the Central Highlands in southern central Sri Lanka and flows into the Indian Ocean through the vicinity of Colombo City, and 95km east of Colombo. The project is located near the confluence of the Maskeliya Oya and the Kehelgamu Oya, which are the two main tributaries of upstream of the Kelani River. The Kelani River Basin is entirely within a heavy-rain area. The annual precipitation upstream of the basin, where existing power stations are located, exceeds 4,000mm and that at the most upstream point exceeds 5,000mm.
