The Navet Dam is one of the major reservoirs supplying potable water in Trinidad and Tobago. The dam was completed in 1962 and expanded in 1966 and 1976. It supplies Tabaquite, Brasso, Williamsville, Gasparillo, San Fernando, Debe, Penal, Princes Town, Rio Claro, South Oropouche, La Brea Moruga, New Grant, Plaisance Park, La Romaine and Fyzabad.
The dam creates the relatively small Rantembe Reservoir, which has a catchment area of 3,118 km 2 (1,204 sq mi), and a total capacity of 21,000,000 m 3 (740,000,000 cu ft). Water from the reservoir is channelled through the dam through a steel penstock to power the two 26- megawatt turbines .
The Bowatenna Dam is a 100 ft (30 m) high gravity dam at Bowatenna, in Central Province of Sri Lanka. The dam was built in June 1981 , and is used primarily for irrigation . A 40 MW power station is also constructed 5,800 ft (1,800 m) downstream, for hydroelectric power generation.
The Randenigala Dam (Sinhala: රන්දෙනිගල වේල්ල) is a large hydroelectric embankment dam at Rantembe, in the Central Province of Sri Lanka. [1] Construction of the dam began in November 1982, and was completed in approximately 4 years. The dam and power station was ceremonially opened by then President J. R ...
The Laxapana Dam is a gravity dam built across the Maskeliya Oya, 2.8 km (1.7 mi) downstream of the Laxapana Falls, in the Central Province of Sri Lanka. [ 1 ] Power station and reservoir
The Nilambe Dam is a small hydroelectric dam build across the Nilambe River, measuring approximately 70 m (230 ft) in length. Water from the Nilambe Dam is transferred to the 3.2-megawatt Nilambe Power Station through a 2.8 km (1.7 mi) penstock. The power station consists of two 1.6 MW generating units, which were commissioned in July 1988. [1] [2]
The dam created the Moragahakanda Reservoir, which has an active storage capacity of 521,000,000 m 3 (1.84 × 10 10 cu ft) of water, [12] at a surface elevation of 185 m (607 ft). [13] Two additional embankment saddle dams will also be built to contain the Moragahakanda Reservoir. The reservoir of the Kalu Ganga Dam will be linked via tunnel ...
The Maskeliya Dam (also known as the Maussakelle Dam) is a large gravity dam at Maskeliya, in the Central Province of Sri Lanka.Along with the Castlereigh Dam, the dams are the highest point and beginning of the Laxapana Hydropower Complex, involving a number of dams, penstocks, and hydroelectric power stations.
