Sorabora Wewa is an unusual construction which reflects the advancement of Sri Lankan Irrigation Engineering technology in ancient times. The extraordinary sluice constructed on a natural rock is only seen in this tank. Also this tank differs from others as it lacks a Biso kotuwa (Valve pit- regulates the out flow of water); which is a main component of a typical tank of Sri Lanka.
It belongs to Mahiyangana Divisional Secretariat and situated about 2km from Mahiyanganaya town on Mahiyanganaya – Bathalayaya road.
Among many stories woven around the construction of this tank, the famous one is that a Giant known as Bulatha is the person who built this tank.
