Apr 20, 2012 (LBO) - China's Sinohydro Corp. has won a 252 million US dollar contract to build a dam providing water and hydropower in north-central Sri Lanka.
A statement said the decision to award the contract to build the headworks of Moragahakanda Reservoir to the Chinese state-owned hydropower engineering and construction company was made by the Cabinet of ministers this week.
The project will meet the long term demand for domestic and industrial water needs in the North Central, Northern and Eastern Provinces, it said.

Like all other shoddy Chinese constructions in the third world, the dam will probably collapse in a few years.
