Dematagoda Canal
The charitable organization, the Laudato Si Challenge Foundation, sponsored the installation of an Ocean Strainer at the Dematagoda Canal, Orugodawatta, in January 2022. The waste is cleared by the Sri Lanka Land Development Corporation, which sends most of it to a waste-to-energy generation facility. As of October 2022, this Strainer will divert an estimated 31,200 kilograms of waste from the ocean each year.
