The dam is popular among walkers\, birdwatchers\, and nature lovers who come here for quiet mornings and scenic sunsets over the water.

Cyclists and joggers often use the trails nearby\, and local residents visit regularly for fresh air and relaxation.

Along the water’s edge\, Indian Pond Herons\, Little Egrets\, Cattle Egrets\, and Little Cormorants are regular sights\, while Spot-billed Ducks paddle across the calm surface. The tall grasses and reeds host warblers such as Green Warblers\, Hume’s Warblers\, and Common Reed Warblers\, all flitting restlessly as they forage. The presence of Asian Open-bill Storks and occasional vocal Sarus Cranes highlights the wetland’s importance as a feeding and roosting site for larger waders and seasonal visitors. Red-wattled Lapwings patrol the shoreline\, often calling loudly as they defend their territory. \n \n \n \n In the wooded patches and scrublands around the dam\, an equally rich diversity thrives. Jungle Babblers chatter in groups\, Red-vented Bulbuls call from bushes\, and Oriental Magpie-Robins and Indian Robins brighten the trails with their songs. Insect hunters like White-throated Kingfishers\, Green Bee-eaters\, Wire-tailed Swallows\, and Indian White-eyes bring movement and colour to open spaces. Raptors such as Black Kites\, Black-shouldered Kites\, and occasionally soaring cuckoos like Pied and Indian Cuckoos add excitement for keen observers. Seasonal species like Eurasian Wryneck and the brilliant Indian Golden Oriole make birding here even more rewarding.
