⚙️ Ambatale Flood Control Barrier

The Ambatale Flood Control Barrier is a major flood control facility located in Ambatale, Sri Lanka. Operated by the Sri Lanka Land Development Corporation (SLLDC), the station is a critical component of the flood protection infrastructure for the Colombo Metropolitan Area. It is designed to pump excess storm water from the Madiwela East Diversion Canal into the Kelani River when the river's water level is too high to allow for natural gravity discharge.
