Talk:Kotmale Oya

Accuracy
This article claims that Kotmale River is 70km long and the fourth longest in Sri Lankan. This makes no sense if you read List of rivers of Sri Lanka. Given this discrepancy and the fact there is only one in line reference I have to question the accuracy of the entire article.-- obi2canibe talk contr 15:40, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing. That is definitely wrong. I have custom-made high-resolution (<100 m) placemarks on Google Earth for each river. The whole tributary from source to it's discharging point on the Mahaweli (as per satellite imagery) is no more than 57km (the source could extend further into vegetation no more than a few more KMs)... I will try to find better sources and fix this article over the next couple of days. Cheers, Reh  man  15:52, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
 * As much as I can't believe it, the river is actually at least 70km long. The river originates as far back as 6.82694°N, 80.78333°W in Horton Plains, and merges with the Nanu Oya at 6.93389°N, 80.66778°W, before passing the Upper Kotmale Dam and Devon Falls at 6.94667°N, 80.65806°W and 6.95861°N, 80.63417°W, and subsequently draining into the Mahaweli River at 7.08222°N, 80.55444°W. Details about the river is swamped by information about the dams. I will try adding more sourced to this soon. Reh  man  01:59, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
