The Uma Oya Hydropower Complex (also internally called Uma Oya Multipurpose Development Project or UOMDP) is an irrigation and hydroelectric complex in the Badulla District of Sri Lanka. Early assessments of the project date back to 1989, when the first studies was conducted by the country's Central Engineering and Consultancy Bureau.
Similar most other dam's impacts on rivers around the world, the Upper Kotmale Dam will periodically stop the St. Clair's Falls, located 2.2 km (1.4 mi) downstream of the dam, and a further 2.9 km (1.8 mi) of the Kotmale River downstream of St. Clairs Falls, before the river is restored by water from the Devon River, the river forming the ...
The dam creates the Kukule Ganga Reservoir, which has a capacity and catchment area of 1,630,000 m 3 (58,000,000 cu ft) and 312 km 2 (120 sq mi) respectively. After passing through the dam and sand traps, water from the reservoir is fed into a 5.71 km (3.55 mi) long tunnel, which leads to the underground power station.
