Key facts from the documents

• About 14 acres of the Beruwala low land are to be restored as a retention reservoir, with a 1.8 km bund carrying Perahara Mawatha and a public walking path.
• The Sandees canal is to be widened down to the lagoon with a maintenance road, and a new bypass canal built from the reservoir to the Beliatta detour road.
• Culverts on the roads and around the reservoir are to be renovated, with general public facilities.
• No call for bids has been seen yet.

How to take it further

Watch for procurement notices from the Sri Lanka Land Development Corporation; contractors need the CIDA grade the notice names.
