The second most ancient of Sri Lanka's kingdoms is first declared the capital city by King Vijayabahu I, who defeated the Chola invaders in 1070 CE to reunite the country once more under a local leader. Polonnaruwa, had trade and agriculture flourished under the patronage of the King Parakramabahu, who was adamant that "No drop of water falling from the heavens was to be wasted", and each be used toward the development of the land; hence, irrigation systems far superior to those of the Anuradhapura Age were constructed during his reign.
The greatest of these systems, of course is the Parakrama Samudraya or the Sea of Parakrama, a tank so vast that it is often mistaken for the ocean.
