310 BC- National Parks system of the Sinhalese- Water flow from over 12,000 lakes in Anuradapura to public places and homes and finally to rice fields through filters and tubes 1000 s of yards long. It shows the skill of the irrigation engineers. Sinhalese have shower baths where a human sit while water jets sprays (modern day spas). They have summer houses ( air-conditioned enclosed rooms to escape the heat), ponds, baths, pavilions and exquisitely decorated toilets with underground sewerage disposal and water supply systems. These luxurious living standards attracted more migrants from other countries, like the way the modern West attracts migrants from the third world today.

240 BC City of Anuradapura develops as one of the best cities ever in human history in a well-organised city plan. An ornamental rampart connects four giant gates. City is so large that at its peak, from Northgate to Southgate the distance was 26 kilometers. (Those were the days before all the invasions). Starting from each gate were wide streets and pretty suburbs with parks, houses, mansions of the nobles (who dedicated themselves to protect and develop the country and who proved their worthiness in deeds), buildings, Municipal council & public works and hospitals. City citadel was in the middle. It housed the Royal palace. Inner city housed the Governing bodies while the outer city was available to business activities. The citadel was half a mile long each side & housed the Royal palace. Five Greatest Buddhist universities in the world were outside the citadel, ( Mahaviharaya on south, Jethavanaya on east, Abayagiriya on north, DakkinaViharaya on Southwest, Mirisavetiya on west.) Beyond the city were the 5 largest lakes ( incl. TissaWeva to southwest, NuwaraWeva to east). Outside the city were highways that ran through villages, towns, and jungles where the monasteries of monks who wanted totally peaceful surrounding for meditation, were living. 2000 years later, British Archaeologists wrote, What it must have been at the zenith of beauty one can only guess, But I do not believe that any other city in the world could have been more beautiful than Anuradapura while at the height of its prosperity.
