Funday Times

King Vijayabahu 2 - Mahawamsa
King Parakramabahu increased the volume of water in the Elahera canal. A tributary of the Amban Ganga was connected to it and the water was then diverted along the Yodha Ela. The Elahera canal was extended from the Amban Ganga to the Kantalai tank. It was a distance of 87 kilometres. The water thus brought, was distributed to the Kavdulu tank. Among the Kings of Sri Lanka, who built tanks and canals, King Parakramabahu I takes a prominent place.
