Boralesgamuwa Lake
Location
Boralesgamuwa Lake
Boralesgamuwa Lake, also known as Boralesgamuwa Wewa, is a prominent water body located in the suburb of Boralesgamuwa, within the Colombo District of the Western Province, Sri Lanka. This is a vital and fragile ecosystem that faces increasing threats from plastic pollution, especially macro plastics. The installation of this Ocean Strainer in one of the main canals at the lake and subsequent collection and removal of plastic waste will show promising results in the ecosystem, as well as preserving water quality. By the end of 2024, 560 kg of mixed waste had been collected by this strainer.
