マハウェリ川 (මහවැලි ගඟ)

マハウェリ川は全長 335 km (208 マイル) の川で、スリランカで最も長い川としてランクされています。流域面積は 10,448 km2 (4,034 平方マイル) で国内最大で、島の総面積のほぼ 5 分の 1 を占めています。マハウェリ ガンガの本当の創造は、キャンディ地区のナワラピティヤ川岸にあるヌワラ エリヤ地区の人里離れた村、ポルワトゥラ (マハウィラ地区) から始まり、ハットンオヤとコットマレ オヤがさらに合流し、川は南西側のベンガル湾に達します。トリンコマリー湾の。この湾には、数ある海底峡谷の中で最初のものが含まれており、トリンコマリーは世界で最も素晴らしい深海港の 1 つとなっています。

マハウェリ開発プログラムの一環として、乾燥地帯での灌漑を可能にするために川とその支流の数カ所が堰き止められ、ほぼ 1,000 km2 (386 平方マイル) の土地が灌漑されています。マハウェリ水系の 6 つのダムからの水力発電により、スリランカの電力需要の 40% 以上が供給されています。数多くある川の源流の 1 つがコットマレ オヤ川です。

スリランカでは、マハウェリ語がスリ パダ山から始まるという誤解があります。マハウェリ川は、キリガルポタのホートン平原とトートポラ山脈から水源を得ています。
