The best part is below... Read about this wonder and know.❤️
This dam is built at the narrowest point of Mahaweli river.
This Victoria dam is built a little below where the Hulu river joins the Mahaweli river.
This Victoria Dam was built by connecting the Denigala mountain in Thel Deniya Divisional Secretariat Kottasaye in Kandy District, Central Province and the Bolagala Mountain in Haguranketha Divisional Secretariat Kottasey in Nuwara Eliya District in Central Province.
Victoria Falls is 300m below this dam. The height of the falls is 10 meters.
This work was started when there was no radio in a house in Sri Lanka. The best thing to do is to survey to build this dam from 1949 to 1980. That means they have been researching this for 31 years.
Anyway, the best starts with J.R. after That means 1980.
J.R. When he became the president, these 3 gentlemen, Lalith Athulathmudali, whom Mahpola introduced, and Gamini Dissanayake, the then electricity minister, went to England to talk about the construction of the Victoria Dam.
These three people who went to England met Queen Elizabeth and said this.
We are going to build a reservoir, give us credit for it. But even if this amount is given as a loan, we will give the name of this dam as "Victoria" which comes from the royal line of the queen..
J.R. The learned people used to say that Mr. Kattaya, because of his brain, he made a mistake when he put his name here. Anyway, J.R. The queen is caught in the trump card.
Because the Queen Victoria is saying that we are not giving loans to build this, we are giving this money as a grant....
At that time, J.R. saved our country from corruption. Playing the game.
At that very moment, the Queen said to go and meet the Prime Minister of England. It was Margerstacher.
This Margerstacher, who was the Prime Minister at that time, is a character who has done some research and work. That's why I asked Mr. Gamini Dissanayake why he is making this...
⭕ Why build Victoria Dam?
📌️ To store water for agriculture.
📌️ To generate hydropower.
📌️ For the water consumption of those who were in the upper area of the dam.
📌️ To raise the fresh water industry.
📌️ To control the river water.
Later, England promises to give 8400 million rupees. Mr. Gamini Dissanayake said. There are no people with technical knowledge to make this in Sri Lanka. That's why he asked to provide technical knowledge for this. In short, it is said that if you give money, you will also give money. 🤗😃🤗
Accordingly, this work is handed over to Alexander Engineering Company in England.
