Järvet ja tekojärvet Sri Lankan keskipohjoisessa provinssissa

Scenic Lakes and Reservoirs

The North Central Province is defined by its ancient 'wewa' system, a network of man-made reservoirs dating back over a millennium. This list features significant hydraulic feats like the Kaudulla and Nachchaduwa reservoirs, which remain vital for irrigation and wildlife. These water bodies serve as crucial gathering points for wild elephant herds and various migratory bird species, especially during the dry season. From large-scale national park centerpieces to smaller village tanks, these sites offer insight into Sri Lanka's historic irrigation engineering.
