| Abstract: | Thisresearch advances the study of effect of topography on Southwest rainfall in Sri Lanka.This dissertation begins with an introduction about the climate of Sri Lanka.

Considering the data at the selected rainfall reporting stations located with in a band from west to east, the rainfall variations with the topography are discussed.
