• The Tissa Wewa is one of the four large ancient irrigation tanks in the area and is believed to be constructed the 3rd Century BC by King Yatala Tissa, or regional king Maha Naga who is a brother of king Devanampiyatissa

It has a great technology,and lets consider about it.

• The water was retained at about 13 feet depth and left only 5 feet between the water level and the top of the bank. The embankment is about 1.2 km long. A single flood escape section (pita wana) about 100 meters in length is located on the eastern side. From this the water is flown to Yodha Wewa down stream.
