  It is believed that the technology of reservoir construction in Sri Lanka was at its peak between the Anuradhapura Kingdom and the Polonnaruwa Kingdom.  It is said that most of the large reservoirs in Ceylon were built during this period.  But other large lakes such as Minneriya Wewa and Kaudulla Wewa belong to the early 3rd century.  Although not as large as those giant lakes, Kantale Lake is a reservoir that could be seen on the way to Trincomalee and was noticed during the colonial period. Kantale has been known as "Gantalawa" since the time of the kings. When the government tried to colonize the Ganges in the early 1950s, a group of original villagers set up camp in the jungle and only a short path from the main camp was built to enter it.  The leader of the group erected a small sign at the top of the road and named it "Gantalawa Camp Road". We are pleased to note that after the 1986 renovations, the capacity of the Kantale Reservoir is greater than that ...

      I remember staring out the window at the rain for hours and dreaming of raindrops falling on a cluster of snail eggs at the foot of a damp banana bush, scattering and cascading down the waterway.  Dumb shell eggs are like shark shells.  It was only after an argument with Grandma that I realized they weren't sharks and compared them and understood the difference.   At that time I was not as tall as a window.  There was also no ban on looking at the rain at any time until it hurt my hands hanging from the window sill.  When hanging from the window of the mother's room, two avocado trees appeared.  Those were the days when heavy rains would fall on avocados and in anticipation of one or more falling to the ground.  If those were the days when mom or grandma would sneak out the middle door and launch a paper boat into the water as a team, those would be the days of victory.  Scientists launching rockets can feel as much ...

  Whale watching is another popular tourist attraction in Sri Lanka. This is a very rare and terrifying activity. But most people love to watch whales. It is popular that as a country it has one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Mirissa and Kalpitiya beaches can be identified as whale watching spots in Sri Lanka.   The whale watching season in Sri Lanka runs from November until Apri l  when the waters around Mirissa are relatively calm. During the rest of the year, it's monsoon season and the waters become too rough for the boats. Whale-watching can be a thrilling experience, an adventure on the water resulting in incredible memories and surprisingly good photos of seabirds, dolphins, and of course the whales. It's an exciting day out: a new perspective, as you watch the coastline recede, and scan the vast horizon for a spout. This is a gift of nature to us and it is our duty to preserve it and preserve it for the future.

  Not much is known but it is a popular place for relaxation in the urban environment. Meemure is a village with a population of about 400. It is located near the border between Kandy District and Mathale District in the Knuckles Mountain Range. Meemure is one of the most remote villages in Sri Lanka with the only access via a 14 km trail from the town of Loolwatte. Residents of the village depend on several staple crops including pepper, cardamom, paddy and ginger. Many endemic animals can be seen in this country.   The film, which is particularly well-received, has been created here. It is our duty to protect this village which is a haven for tourists from home and abroad.

    Why a full water   More water   Heavy rain when it rained all over the plateau   In the same way everywhere   That's it   The rain will overflow the river   The heaviest place is the overflow   To Galai village   When a barren land   Please be fertile   A country happy total wealth   Drowned Bhairavas   Did not the people of the country grieve?   Sacrifice never to those Bhairahs   Those resources that cannot be taken back   Like a crop of plants caught in a drought   The poorest are the masses   Boil the scent as it rains   Happiness rains down on hearts   Wealth-swallowing savages go away   These are the new rays    of the sun shining on Sri Lanka

The sea is sometimes a storm that strikes anyone big or small. The sea is one of the most popular destinations in the world. Many people love it, and the freedom we feel when we go to the beach, as well as the inspiration that comes from it, cannot be described in words that come to our minds. Sri Lanka is known as the pearl of the Indian Ocean and the island. Due to the coastline around Sri Lanka, our country is full of biodiversity. We must protect the sea, a gift to our country and the world. While this makes our lives beautiful, it also helps to protect our gut. It is the responsibility of each and every one of us to carry forward the unique gift of nature.
