The reservoir, which has three islands within it, also has an established commercial fisheries development programme operated by the Fisheries Department.
  Construction of the dam, including the irrigation system, was started in 1961 at an initial cost of Rs. 3.65 crores which was revised to Rs. 101.19 crores. The irrigation command was partially developed in 1980 with a total CCA of 8,465 hectares. To complete the irrigation development in the entire command a new scheme titled "Extension, Renovation and Modernisation Irrigation Project" under the Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme initiated by the Prime Minister of India, was approved by the Planning Commission in the year 2008 for an estimated cost of Rs 30.0 crore, to cover balance CCA of 1,247 hectare.
