However, the water level in the lower areas of the Ging and Nilwala rivers, as well as the lower areas of the Kudi Ganga, a tributary of the Kalu Ganga, and the lower areas of the Bulathsinghala Divisional Secretariat are still high and the Irrigation Department has stated that there is no possibility of a significant level of flooding in those areas.
Also, the Irrigation Department further states that due to the high level of water in these rivers, there is a possibility of developing into a flood situation if there is high rainfall in the future.
