The Irrigation Department's Anuradhapura Regional Directorate conducted technical assessments across major ancient cascade reservoirs—including Nuwara Wewa, Tissa Wewa, Basawakkulama, and Nachchaduwa—today, September 23, 2026.

Hydrological monitoring confirmed that storage levels remain balanced across regional tanks to accommodate anticipated inter-monsoonal Maha rainfall without triggering downstream spill risks. Simultaneously, irrigation engineering units deployed mechanical desilters along regional feeder canals to ensure unimpeded water distribution to agrarian tracts across the North Central Province.
