ランバカン大谷貯水池
この貯水池はマハ オヤの町から約 17 キロ離れた、人里から遠く離れた場所に建設されています。ランバカン・オヤ・プロジェクトの下で、他の 7 つの小さな貯水池も改修されました。それらは、ポルワッテ・ウェワ、ポレベッデ・ウェワ、ニロバ・ウェワ、キララガス・ウェワ、ドゥマナ・ウェワ、ベンディレッカ・ウェワ、アクロベ・ウェワです。これらのうち、ランバカン オヤ貯水池に向かう途中で、キララガス ウェワ、ニロバ ウェワ、ポレベデ ウェワを通過します。ポレベッダ (ポレベッダ) は、スリランカの先住民ヴェッダ族の伝統的な故郷の 1 つです。また、この道に沿って、ポレベッダ ウェワの直前にある彼らの村を通過します。
貯水池の直前に迂回路があり、数千年前に貯水池を建設する目的で建設された古代のツインバレル石造運河の遺跡に行くことができます。堤防の頂上につながるスロープの下部には、さらに多くの考古学的遺跡が見つかります。この地域はおそらく 2009 年のダムの開通時に伐採されたと思われますが、再びジャングルととげの茂みに覆われ、アクセスが非常に困難になっています。
