Rivers
The rich network of rivers in Sri Lanka make the island an oasis at any time of year, naturally watering the paradise garden with its splendid heritage. The highest concentration of rivers and lakes is found in the south-west of the country, making it possibly the most fertile area in Sri Lanka.
カル ガンガ (කළු ගඟ)
カル ガンガ (シンハラ語: කළු ගඟ; 直訳: 黒い川) は、スリランカの川です。長さ 129 km (80 マイル) のこの川は、スリ パダヤから始まり、カルタラの海に達します。ブラック川はラトナプラとカルタラ地区を流れ、ラトナプラ市を通過します。中部州の山林とシンハラジャ森林保護区がこの川の主な水源です。
カル ガンガ川流域は、降雨量が非常に多く、流量も多いスリランカで最も重要な河川流域の 1 つです。その水文学的および地形的特徴により、下流氾濫原は頻繁に洪水に見舞われ、社会経済的側面に大きな影響を与えています。過去数年間、多くの研究者が国内の主要河川流域の気候変動を調査してきましたが、カルガンガ流域の気候変動については研究が行われていませんでした。したがって、この研究の目的は、カルガンガ盆地における降水傾向を調査することでした。年間および毎月の降水量の傾向は、Mann-Kendall 統計検定によって検出されました。年間降水量のマイナス傾向は、分析されたすべての雨量観測所で見つかりました。平均すると、年間降雨量が 12.03 mm/年減少し、-0.98 の傾向が見られました。 4月と8月には強い減少傾向が観察されました。 7 月と11 月は強い増加傾向を示しました。結論として、カルガンガ盆地全体の年間降水量は減少傾向にあり、わずかな気候の変化が調査地域内の降水量と降水量のタイミングに影響を与えた可能性があることは明らかです。
