Sri Lanka     You are here Home Sri Lanka Geography Elephant country General information History Religions Geography Wages and prices Landscape Behind the southernmost point of the island - Dondra - you will find nothing but ocean until you arrive at Antarctica. During the 1960s extensive work began on numerous irrigation projects. The accelerated Mahaweli Scheme, one of the major undertakings, includes many dams and provides the population with electricity, a regular water supply, and new land for cultivation. Sri Lanka is rich in industrial rocks and minerals such as graphite, mica, silica sand, quartz, feldspar, and gemstones. The nation is the world's largest producer of graphite, a form of carbon that is used in the making of lead pencils. Long known as a land of gems, the island has 44 varieties of precious and semiprecious gemstones. Mined around Ratnapura, the gems include sapphires, rubies, aquamarines, moonstones, topazes, garnets, amethysts, and zircons. Climate Unstable weather conditions throughout Sri Lanka's history have produced severe droughts, particularly in the northern part of the country. In ancient times reservoirs were built to hold rainfall for irrigation. The oldest of these, believed to have been built in about 300 BC and discovered abandoned and overgrown with dense scrub, has been restored for use. In the mountains however, in the neighborhood of Nuwara Eliya, it is relatively cold and there's much more rainfall. Usually the weather is agreable along the coast, but in the lower parts of the tableland it can be hot and humid.

GEOGRAPHY Time Difference Standard time in Sri Lanka is 6 hours ahead of GMT; Eastern Standard Time in Australia is 4hours ahead. Climate The lowlands are always hot, particularly from March to May. The highlands are cooler. Seasonal During December and January there is occasional frost on very high ground such as Nuwara Eliya. The dry season is March to mid-May. The south-west monsoon season lasts from mid-May to September, the north-east monsoon season from November to March. Cities The Commercial Capital is Colombo and the State Capital is Sri Jayawardenapura, Kotte; Other large cities are Jaffna, Kandy, Galle Dehiwala-Mt Lavinia, Moratuwa, Anuradhapura and Matara Ports Colombo, Trincomalee, and Galle International Airport Katunayake (20 miles from Colombo) Terrain Beyond the coastal plains, Sri Lanka's topography is dominated by an outstandingly beautiful central mountain massif of gneiss rock, with the highest point at Pidurutalagala (2,524m). The holy Adam's Peak (2,243m) is so called from a mark at the top in the likeness of a human footprint, variously attributed as the print of the Buddha, Vishnu or Adam, and is a place of pilgrimage. The coastal plains are broader in the north, tapering off in the long low-lying Jaffna peninsula. Several fast-flowing non-navigable rivers arise in the mountains. The Mahaweli Ganga, from which hydroelectric power is obtained, is the longest at 322km. Rainfall Average annual rainfall varies from about 37" to 228". South West quarter and Central Region (approx. 1/3 of the Island) receives more than 79" with a high between 158" to 228" being restricted to Western slopes of the Central Hills and North Eastern Hill Country. A little less than 2/3rd of Sri Lanka receives less than 79". The lowest average rainfall of less than 40" is confined to the extreme North Western and South East Region of Sri Lanka.

Professor , phone: +46 (0(31 773 13 95 , was appointed professor in geography and ethnography. Research within Human Geography has traditionally been centred around physical and regional planning in Sweden, but there is also a long tradition of studies within development geography, particularly in Africa. Ongoing research projects connected to South Asia: Regional Development in an Open Economy. A Comparative Study of Hambantota and Gampaha Districts, Sri Lanka Contact Person in Sweden: Ass. Professor Contact Persons in Sri Lanka: Professor Kamal Karunanayake and Professor Nimal Dangalle , University of Kelaniya Description of the Project The regional development pattern is initially illustrated quantitatively with GIS. This involves a comparison at the national level, between different districts, a specific comparison between the districts of Hambantota and Gampaha, as well as internal variations within these districts. From a quantitative picture, the researchers probe further into what is actually influencing the regional development pattern with a more qualitative approach, where they also go deeper into the regions to discuss current trends with planners and other professionals at the central and district levels, as well as finding out perceptions of development at the local level, through in-depth interviews.
