| Moragahakanda Dam |
The Moragahakanda Dam is a large gravity dam, and the main component of the larger and more complex Moragahakanda — Kalu Ganga Irrigation Project, in the Matale District of Sri Lanka.
Moragahakanda - Kalu Ganga Irrigation project, the biggest multi-functional irrigation project, currently undergoing constructions, was inaugurated in January 2007, when President Sirisena was the Irrigation and Mahaweli Development Minister.
Work on the Moragahakanda Kalu Ganga Multi- purpose Development Project which was restricted only to plans for around four decades, was launched by His Excellency President Mahinda Rajapaksa on 25th January 2007, making it a reality as mentioned in the “Mahinda Chinthana” program.
The Moragahakanda Kaluganga Development Project which is a major component of Mahaweli Master Plan has been progressing steadily and is to improve irrigation facilities to existing water scarce farmlands (82,000ha) and most importantly open up new land (5000ha) for agriculture development in Northern, North Central, Eastern and North Western provinces. The Project will generate25MW hydro-power to the national grid. Increasing inland fish production, provision of potable and industrial water requirements, Eco tourism and effective flood control are the other targets of the project.
