St. Clair's Falls

St. Clair's Falls ((シンハラ語:සාන්ත ක්ලෙයාර් ඇල්ල)) is one of the widest waterfalls in Sri Lanka and is commonly known as the "Little Niagara of Sri Lanka". It is one of six waterfalls affected by the Upper Kotmale Hydropower Project.
The falls are situated west of the town of Talawakele on the Hatton-Talawakele Highway in Nuwara Eliya District.〔Senanayake 2004: 2〕
The falls are located along the Kotmale River, a tributary of the Mahaweli River, as it cascades over three rock outcrops into a large pool, running through a tea estate, from which the falls derive their name from. The waterfalls consist of two falls called "Maha Ella" (Sinhalese "The Greater Fall"), which is high and wide and "Kuda Ella", (Sinhalese "The Lesser Fall"), which is high and located immediately downstream of the main fall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St Clair's Falls )〕 St Clair's falls are the 20th highest waterfall in Sri Lanka.
==Environmentalists concerns==

From the inception of the Upper Kotmale Project, Sri Lanka's last major hydro-electricity project, the environmentalists protested concerning that the waterfall is threatened by the Upper Kotmale Dam. The falls are located downstream from the dam. The Government however has stated that they will release a limited quantity of water to ensure a continuous flow of water over the falls for 10 hours and 30 minutes daily, between sunrise and sunset.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Upper Kotmale Hydropower Project )
