Mahawli River 🏞️

The longest river in Sri Lanka is the Mahaweli River. It is 335 km in length. This river covers about one-fifth of the total land area of Sri Lanka. Although it is often said that the Mahaweli River originates from Samantakuta Mountain, its true source is the Mahaweli Polwathura area. The river flows into the sea at Kinniya in Trincomalee. The Mahaweli River makes a significant contribution to hydroelectric power generation and water supply in Sri Lanka. It flows through the districts of Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Matale, Polonnaruwa, and Trincomalee. Its tributaries include Kotmale Oya, Hatton Oya, Uma Oya, Badulu Oya, and Amban Ganga.
