'China-pots' Concrete structures for the new break-water, Hambanthota, Sri Lanka.

Large concrete structures each weighing 7 to 12 tons are made, and placed over the rock dumped into the sea to form a stable 'break-water'. This is being done at the new port being constructed at Hambanthota, Sri Lanka, by the Peoples Republic of China.

On the road from Hambanthota to Embilipitiya we come to Sooriyawewa. It is a large lake with a high earthen bund. It supplies water for irrigation. I took this picture from the earthen bund.
