Moragolla Dam
The 928th tallest dam in the world
The Moragolla Dam is a planned hydroelectric dam in Moragolla, Sri Lanka. The dam is to be 35 m (115 ft) high and is planned to create the 1,980,000 m3 (70, 000, 000 ft3) Moragolla Reservoir with a maximum supply level at 548 m (1, 798 ft) MSL. Upon completion, the Moragolla Power Station would have a gross installed capacity of 30 megawatts from two francis turbines. Preliminary assessments and feasibility studies of the hydroelectric dam and power station began on 24 September 2012. The dam is planned to impound the Mahaweli River at Weliganga and have five spillways, with the powerhouse located approximately 500 m (1, 600 ft) from the tailrace discharge of the Kotmale Power Station.
