All main reservoirs in the Anuradhapura District are also spilling. Additionally, three of the seven main reservoirs in Badulla and three of the four main reservoirs in Batticaloa are experiencing spills. In the Hambantota District, spill gates have been opened at four of the ten main reservoirs.

The Director urged residents in areas downstream to pay attention to official updates about water releases from the reservoirs. He reassured the public that there is currently no immediate threat of flooding or rising water levels downstream due to the current water discharge from the reservoirs.
