The Irrigation Department says arrangements have been made to open the spill gates of the Inginimitiya Reservoir at around 7.30 a.m. today (16), allowing a discharge of approximately 1,000 cubic feet of water per second.
Following the decision, the Director of Irrigation has instructed people living in low-lying and downstream areas surrounding the reservoir to remain vigilant and exercise extra caution, as water levels in nearby waterways are expected to rise.
Authorities have urged the public to stay informed and follow safety guidance to avoid potential risks during the release.
