Colombo, May 25 (Daily Mirror) - Due to the inclement weather and the high rainfall in the catchment areas, spill gates at several reservoirs have been opened, the Disaster Management Centre (DMC) said.

They said six spill gates of the Deduru Oya Reservoir in the Kurunegala district have been opened for four feet.

Four spill gates of the Thabbowa Wewa have been opened. Two spill gates of the Kala Wewa, one spill gate of the Kukule Ganga Reservoir, and three spill gates of the Polgolla Dam have been opened.

The DMC requests those living in low-lying areas along the above reservoirs to be vigilant over possible floods with the continuous rain during the next few days.

SL, a land of contrasts. A few weeks ago, the country was experiencing severe drought and farmers lost crops and all vegetation. Now severe floods equally damaging. The country needs a very good water management, extremely effective flood mitigation and rainwater harvesting systems. These problems go on year after year without any plan. Invest in the right infrastructure without money being siphoned off to corruption. Public servants are just as bad as politicians.

Sri Lanka cannot succeed. It is full of dreamers who think they can make this country a rich farmland, while preventing imports of better quality products from overseas. Failed nature is so many way, that is the only contrast that can be made of this culture to proper, decent freedom valuing societies in Western civilizations.

The construction of huge dams leads to a major deterioration of the earth's surface which causes geological harm.
