It's on every Saturday at 6.30pm on Rupavahini. Plus it's presented by Arun Bandaranayake, so it's very interesting and also educational. <br /><br />oh so that's why.

I have also heard this fact on pine trees where they absorb all the ground water + nutrients so that leaves nothing for other plants. This is why you do not see any undergrowth in pine forests.<br />Think above could be one reason for decreasing water capacity in Bambarakanda. Also the water stream (possibly coming from Horton) is heavily used for agriculture and other purposes above the falls. I suspect this latter one is the main reason for less water.Kirigalpoththahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173002776907882231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4933499499768796683.post-89064589331086615072009-07-16T10:59:48.569+05:302009-07-16T10:59:48.569+05:30The thing about Pine trees is that they are said t...The thing about Pine trees is that they are said to destroy water sources by soaking up most of the ground water...

Might take some time..but will add a few more soon :)<br /><br />Rainfield,<br />That is a great gift we enjoy here. Whenever you enter the hill country you'll see lots of waterfalls even by the roadside. If you have time to wander in to the forest you will see many more...<br /><br />Chavie,<br /><a href="http://kirigalpoththa.blogspot.com/2009/03/pine-forests.html" rel="nofollow"> Pine forests</a> are not indigenous. I think we see them now as a result of a re-forestation exercise carried out sometime back. These trees grow quite fast so nowadays you see them everywhere in the hill country. Think this lot of pine trees behind the falls also such latter day addition.Kirigalpoththahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173002776907882231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4933499499768796683.post-37564015948567831862009-07-16T09:07:06.912+05:302009-07-16T09:07:06.912+05:30I've always wondered, is the pine forest behin...I've always wondered, is the pine forest behind Bambarakanda a latter-day addition?Janithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712087828463895910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4933499499768796683.post-52420048464178890232009-07-16T04:47:43.706+05:302009-07-16T04:47:43.706+05:30You have the highest concentration of waterfalls i...You have the highest concentration of waterfalls in the world.
