The Follow-Up Study on the Rehabilitation of Hydropower Stations in the Kelani River Basin for Hydropower Optimization in Sri La No. THE FOLLOW-UP STUDY ON THE REHABILITATION OF HYDROPOWER STATIONS IN THE KELANI RIVER BASIN FOR HYDROPOWER OPTIMIZATION IN SRI LANKA FINAL REPORT Vol. I MAIN REPORT JULY 2005 JAPAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT ED JR 05 - 053 PREFACE In response to a request from Government of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, the Government of Japan decided to conduct the Follow-up Study on the Rehabilitation of Hydropower Stations on the Kelani River Basin for the Study on Hydropower Optimization in Sri Lanka and entrusted the study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA sent a study team led by Mr. Tsuyoshi Nakahata and organized by Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. to Sri Lanka five times from July 2004 to May 2005. The study team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Sri Lanka, and conducted field studies in Sri Lanka. After its return to Japan, the team conducted further studies and compiled the results in this report. I hope this report will contribute to the promotion of rehabilitation of hydropower stations in the Kelani River basin and to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the persons concerned for their close cooperation throughout the study. July 2005 Tadashi Izawa Vice-President Japan International Cooperation Agency July, 2005 Mr. Tadashi Izawa Vice-President Japan International Cooperation Agency Tokyo, Japan Dear Mr. IZAWA, Letter of Transmittal We are pleased to submit our report on the Follow-up Study on the Rehabilitation of Hydropower Stations in the Kelani River Basin for the Study on Hydropower Optimization in Sri Lanka. This study was conducted for the purposes of carrying out inspections of troubles in the five hydropower stations in the Kelani River basin, of making the rehabilitation plan such as repair and replace with a feasibility study level for them and of giving suggestions of the maintenance manuals for hydropower in Sri Lanka. During the study period, we made our best effort to establish the optimum plans from the technical, economic and environmental points of view. We wish to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to your Agency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. We also wish to express our deep gratitude to the Ceylon Electricity Board, the Embassy of Japan in Sri Lanka, the JICA Sri Lanka Office, and other agencies concerned in Sri Lanka for the close cooperation and assistance extended to us during our study period. Very truly yours, Tsuyoshi Nakahata Team Leader The study team of the Follow-up Study on the Rehabilitation of the Kelani River Basin for the Study of Hydropower Optimization in Sri Lanka Laxapana Fall Castlereagh Dam Laxapana Hydropower Station (Old and New Laxapana Hydropower Station) Wimalasurendra Hydropower Station Turbines and Generators in Old Laxapana Hydropower Station Efficiency test in New Laxapana Hydropower station Intake Guard Valve House of Canyon Hydropower Station Water Leakage from Turbine in Polpitiya Hydropower Station The Follow-up Study on the Rehabilitation of Hydropower Stations in the Kelani River Basin The Study of Hydropower Optimization in Sri Lanka CONTENTS CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION.........................................................................

  • 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.
