Entry point –Option 02
Phase 2
● Second option: was to use the area near new Madinnagoda road (near the Harward dam area)
● Due to illegal residents and with the constraint of our limited 6 months time frame and political background.

Entry point –Option 03
● Third option was to use Gamage watte (near the new gothatuwa road) area.
● It is a highly populated area and relatively less polluted than the option 01 and 02.
● Then the environmental factors of the area were analyzed.
