Kithulgala Site Visit Report

EFL conducted a visit to a mini hydro project in Kitulgala on the 7^th July. A weir currently being constructed has resulted in the river bank being extensively cleared leading to a landslide blocking the river. In addition to felling of trees, rocks have been blasted and the debris has been dumped in the river. The mini hydro project belongs to the Divisional Secretariat of Yatiyanthota and lies in the village of Mahabage on the north bank of Girangkiththa oya which is a tributary of the Kelani River. Major habitat types include stream and streamside vegetation, supporting a wide range of flora and fauna.
