Sri Lanka, Dec. 2 -- The Department of Irrigation reports that the water level of the Kelani River is currently receding, easing the flood situation in low-lying areas along the Kelani River basin.
According to the Department, water levels in several other reservoirs, including Kalu Ganga and Malwathu Oya, are also showing a gradual decrease.
At the Nagalagamveediya water gauge, the Kelani River level, which stood at 8 feet at 2.00 a.m. today, had dropped to 7.90 feet by 3.00 a.m.
However, despite the slight reduction in water levels, authorities warn that a major flood situation is still prevailing, and residents are urged to remain vigilant.
