Parakrama Samudra: The Sea of King Parakramabahu

Sri Lanka has two large monsoon seasons, each lasting about three months. The rest of year remains dry and hot, except for a few short heat induced thunderstorms at night. This climate, with its lack of regular water, can have a devastating effect on those who make a living from agriculture. Parakrama Samudra in Sri Lanka was one such solution to the problem of lack of water.

In an attempt to alleviate this problem, many ancient kings built reservoirs that regulate water. Parakrama Samudra too is such a construction built in Polonnaruwa by King Parakramabahu the first who ruled there from 1153 AD to 1153 AD. The Sea of Parakrama or Parakrama Samudra originally consisted of five large reservoirs which relieved the pressure on the main dam. The first reservoir Thopa Vewa already existed in King Parakramabahu’s time having been built in 386 AD. The king had the other large reservoirs included and the entire system expanded. In addition, many smaller reservoirs were built around the primary reservoirs to feed them water and to take away any excess water.

Parakrama Samudra:The Main Reservoirs of the Original Parakrama Samudra

1. Thopa Vewa
2. Eramudu Vewa (Katu Vewa)
3. Dumbuthula Vewa
4. Kalahagala Vewa
5. Bhu Vewa

However, during reconstructions in the 19th century the water being fed to Thopa Vewa started flowing to Bhu Vewa as a result of some new structural error. With a possibility of destruction from flooding hanging over their heads, the engineers made the quick decision to build a temporary dam to halt the water flow. Unfortunately this separated the last two reservoirs, Kalahagala Vewa and Bhu Vewa, from the system completely. The temporary dam became a permanent road isolating the first three reservoirs into a smaller version of the originally vast Parakrama Samudra. In addition the reconstructions further reduced the capacity of the reservoir due to completely ignoring the complex ancient technology it was built with.

Polonnaruwa ringkonna kohta

Polonnaruwa on Sri Lanka põhja-keskprovintsi suuruselt teine ​​linn. Iidne Polonnaruwa linn on UNESCO poolt maailmapärandi nimistusse kuulutatud. Polonnaruwal on pikk vallutuste ja võitluste ajalugu ning see moodustab õigustatult kolmanda elemendi kultuurikolmnurgas. Kandyst umbes 140 km kirdes asuv Polonnaruwa pakub ajaloo- ja kultuurisõpradele lõputut naudingut, kuna seal on arvukalt olulisi vaatamisväärsusi.

Suur osa tänapäeval säilinud füüsilistest varemetest on omistatud kuningas Parakrama Bahu I-le, kes kulutas palju kuninglikke ressursse linnaplaneerimisele, sealhulgas parkidele, ehitistele, niisutussüsteemidele jne. Tema valitsemisaega peetakse kuldajastuks, mil kuningriik õitses ja õitses visionääri valitseja all. Parakrama Samudra on mammutlik veehoidla, mis on nimetatud oma patrooni järgi. Populaarne kuningapalee, kaunilt nikerdatud kivist elevantidega ümbritsetud audientsi saal ja supelbassein peegeldavad tolle aja suurepäraseid insenerivõimeid.

Põhja-Keskprovintsi kohta

Põhja-Keskprovints, mis on riigi suurim provints, hõlmas 16% riigi kogupindalast. Põhja-Keskprovints koosneb kahest ringkonnast: Polonnaruwa ja Anuradhapure. Anuradhapura on Sri Lanka suurim ringkond. Selle pindala on 7128 km².

Põhja-Keskprovintsil on investoritele arvukalt potentsiaali oma ettevõtete alustamiseks, eriti põllumajanduses, põllumajandusel põhinevas tööstuses ja loomakasvatussektoris. Üle 65% Põhja-Keskprovintsi elanikest sõltub põllumajandusest ja põllumajanduse baastööstusest. NCP-d nimetatakse ka "Wew Bendi Rajjeks", kuna provintsis asub üle 3000 keskmise ja suure mahutavusega veehoidla.
