Kotmale Dam construction with a view to generating hydropower began in August 1979, and ceremoniously opened in February 1985 and was renamed the Gamini Dissanayake Reservoir on 11 April 2003 following a request by the then Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118893 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/kothmale-dam-Closeup-view-of-the-spillway.png\" alt=\"kothmale dam Closeup view of the spillway\" width=\"492\" height=\"370\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Closeup view of the spillway<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">This power station is unique as it was built underground and located at the Atabage mountain range.
