Sri Lanka Water Board says that it will build a water supply system in the Northern Province areas that were recently captured from the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam.

Iranamadu reservoir will be the source of water and areas north of Kilinochchi like Jaffna and Chavakachcheri will be supplied water by this project.

The feasibility study has already been done and the Asian Development Bank will provide 80% of the $ 60 million capital investment.

The purification plant that is to be located in Paranthan will have output of 11 million gallons.
