  1. 11. The effects of inlet sedimentation on water exchange in Maha Oya Estuary, Sri Lanka

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Linda Nylén; Ebba Ramel; [2012]
    Keywords : Maha Oya; water exchange; seasonal closure; HEC-RAS; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The Maha Oya river mouth, located on the west coast of Sri Lanka, is seasonally closed by a sand bar formed at the river mouth due to little rainfall and thus little river discharge. A new Outlet, located just north of the Maha Oya river mouth, was created by the 2004 tsunami. READ MORE
