The history of dam engineering in Sri Lanka dates back some 4,000 years to when ancient Ceylon developed control of the water streams to satisfy the needs of an advanced civilisation. These great works of irrigation are even more impressive, and attract even more interest, than many remains of ancient monuments, palaces and temples. Dam engineering practice in Sri Lanka has been continued to date to include large reservoirs such as Victoria, Kotmale, Randenigala, Samanalawewa.
