Some 30,000 people who fled their homes last week because of fighting between troops and the Tigers in the coastal Muslim town of Muttur are also sheltering in Kantalai, aid officials said.
Some had been here for longer as they ran out of water when the Tigers closed the Maavilaru sluice gates on July 20.
Six days later, the military sent planes to bomb the Tigers and began a ground offensive on July 31.
However, the guerrillas said they opened the sluice gates Tuesday, releasing water to some 15,000 farming families downstream after a request from peace broker Norway.
The military said they themselves opened the gates but the Tigers said the soldiers had opened separate gates further downstream.
