Thanks for this informative share. Nice photos. Although could not find a photo of water fall. Maybe you were away from it so haven't taken a picture. Or I think this is just an irrigation barrage system with no power generating system. Have a great Sunday 😊

Hello @GhazalaShah 

These days the dam is under cleaning so some gates of dam closed due to this the water flows at a low rate in dam and you are right the dam is for irrigation and to supply water to nearby villages:)
