The Castlereagh reservoir is now 9 feet below overflow, while Maussakelle is 15 feet below. The increase in water levels has enabled the Wimalasurendra, Laxapana, New Laxapana, Canyon, and Polpitiya hydropower stations to operate at maximum capacity.
Engineers also noted that the water capacity of Hatton Devon and Saint Clair waterfalls has risen due to the ongoing rainfall.
