This dam is a very straight one which make itself very attractive. It supplies water to Ukuwela power house by tunnels under the land. Side of the river there is a walking lane and concrete bench. We can rest there while enjoying the nice view.

Does a good job of holding the water in the reservoir. But there are a few leaks here and there. If you're visiting try to bring something to plug the leaks. Also, beware of the kabaragoyaz.

Diverts water to a power plant situated 5 miles away and thereafter goes to Agricultural areas in the country. You can visit this scenic place by a attracting sea plane tour from Colombo to Polgolla Reservoir Airport (KDZ).
