The highest amount of rainfall recorded over the last 24 hours was in the Ampara area, which received 38 millimetres of rain, according to Director of Irrigation (Hydrology and Disaster Management) Engineer L. S. Sooriyabandara.He said that rainfall in the majority of other regions remained below 10 millimetres, resulting in no notable increase in river water levels across the country.
However, Sooriyabandara noted that 28 of Sri Lanka’s 73 major reservoirs are still overflowing, along with 22 medium-scale tanks.He added that while water discharges from the Yan Oya and Deduru Oya reservoirs have been significantly stepped up, no river basin is currently facing hazardous discharge levels.
