The Ulhitiya-Ratkinda twin reservoir of the Mahaweli C Zone is now filled with water. Farming lands in the zone are now irrigated for the Maha season from the twin reservoir.
The Viyaanaa-Ella canal and the Ulhitiyaava Oya supply water from the Randenigla to the twin reservoir.
Farmers in the zone depend on the Ulhitiya-Ratkinda Reservoir for water in the yala season since rains cannot supply adequate water for their crops.
Over 95,000 farming families reside in the Mahaweli Zone C around Girandurukotte and Dehiatthakandiya.
They are now preparing to grow paddy and maize.
