Kolgat Reservoir 3 is located 0.13km northeast (bearing 14°) of Reservoir 2. The two reservoirs are connected by a short canal (Kolgat Canal 4).
Although set in a broad valley between two low ridges, this reservoir was dry during the month of July when we visited. Given that several other reservoirs in the survey quadrant retained water, it is possible that either it was constructed atop a geological matrix with poorer water retention qualities or it was drained at the beginning of the dry season, prior to tapping the water in Kolgat Reservoir 2.
This dry reservoir features a dam on its western edge and an exit channel that leads to the west and the agricultural fields immediately below. The reservoir is constructed of a circumscribing earthen berm that appears to be quite recent in its construction.
