THE PLACE
The old irrigation works at Tampitiya include a surviving bisokotuwa and sluice associated with the reservoir. These stone-built water-control features reveal the engineering behind the tank more clearly than the broad water view alone.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S NOTES
Water and vegetation may conceal parts of the structure. Keep clear of unstable masonry and ask locally before entering reservoir land.
