The dam was constructed across the waterbody as a source of water for irrigation to the adjacent agricultural lands. It was found that the waterbody had no source of inflow water, as all the small streams coming down to the water body had either completely dried up over the past 25-30 years or completely blocked down as a result of developmental activities.
The current goals was to help remove the non-native Prosopis Juliflora trees, prevent the regrowth of these invasive trees and construct a linking canal built to divert flood waters from the Amravati river which overflows once in two or three years.
Local communities in Tirpur District, of which nearly fifty families depend on this water body and the surrounding vegetation for grazing the cattle.
