Warnings to residents of low-lying areas as water levels rise
View(s):The Irrigation Department has issued a warning to residents in low-lying areas to be cautious as they have opened sluice gates of 45 out of the 73 main reservoirs.
The additional Director General of the Irrigation Department, Kitsiri Weligepolage told the Sunday Times that though rains have stopped the river levels are still rising.
He added that as the rivers and canals are feeding more water to the reservoirs the major irrigation tanks have opened sluice gates to expel excess water.
Mr Weligepolage requested those living in low-lying areas and near rivers and canals to be vigilant of floods.
