During the field work and even number of visits in the villages of the study area, it has observed that prior to dam construction the agricultural activities were totally dependent on the natural rainfall. Now after dam construction the water is being used for agricultural activities and agro based industries. Agricultural productivity also increased in the study area after the dam construction.
