List of dams and reservoirs in Sri Lanka
The following page lists most dams in Sri Lanka.Hydroelectric dams, including small hydros, account for nearly half of the installed power capacity of Sri Lanka.Sri Lanka is pockmarked with many irrigation dams, with its water resource distributed across nearly the entirety of the island for agricultural purposes via artificial canals and streams.Utilization of hydro resources for agricultural production dates back to the pre-Colonial era, with the current crop production now largely dependent on these water resources.Privately owned "small-hydro" facilities (which are limited to a maximum nameplate capacity of 10 MW), are not included in this list.
