The Department of Irrigation has announced that eight spill gates at the Deduru Oya reservoir have been opened in response to heavy rainfall across the catchment region. According to the Wariyapola Divisional Irrigation Office, four of the gates have been lifted by 12 feet each, while the remaining four have been raised by 13 feet.
This adjustment has resulted in a combined water discharge of 69,000 cubic feet per second. Authorities are closely monitoring downstream conditions as water levels continue to rise.
