Dalgolla Oya is impounded by the roller-compacted concrete Puhulpola Dam (PD), which is a gravity dam measuring 175 m (574 ft) and 45 m (148 ft) in length and height, respectively. The damming of this river creates the Puhulpola Reservoir (PR), which has a gross storage of 634,826 m 3 (22,418,700 cu ft).

Victoria Dam (Sinhala: වික්ටෝරියා වේල්ල Viktoriya Vella) is an arch dam located 130 mi (209 km) upstream of the Mahaweli River's mouth and 4 mi (6 km) from Teldeniya in Sri Lanka. It is named in honour of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. Its main purposes are irrigation and hydroelectric power production.
The dam creates the Kukule Ganga Reservoir, which has a capacity and catchment area of 1,630,000 m 3 (58,000,000 cu ft) and 312 km 2 (120 sq mi) respectively. After passing through the dam and sand traps, water from the reservoir is fed into a 5.71 km (3.55 mi) long tunnel, which leads to the underground power station.
