Iranamadu Tank (Tamil: இரணைமடு குளம் Iraṇaimaṭu Kuḷam; Sinhalese: ඉරණමඩු වැව) is an irrigation tank in northern Sri Lanka, approximately 3 mi (5 km) south east of Kilinochchi.
Beauty of Kilinochchi district, biggest in northern sri Lanka. Superb atmosphere in rain time.
Reservoir in the middle of dry land which goes bone dry in dry season and supplies essential water around Kilinochchi area after wet season. Real spectacle of water in harsh North Province.

Construction was completed in 1921.The tank was 6 mi (10 km) long, 1 mi (2 km) wide and 34 ft (10 m) in 2012.
This constructions are continuing.
