On December 17, 2017 the initiative was launched at the Bellankadawala Ellangawa or Wewa System located in the Palugaswewa Divisional Secretariat in the Anuradhapura District, with the aim of conserving the magnificent irrigation system for future generations.
This project is being carried out by News 1st together with the University of Peradeniya and Irrigation Experts.

With the experiences gained in phase one, a discussion took place on implementing phase two of this initiative.
