This tank has a capacity of 20,200 ac.ft and a command area of 1606 acres. The catchment area is only 4.3 sq.miles and the catchment contribution is almost nil and thus has to be filled from Kanthale through the link sluice. The head of water is 39.50 ft, very high compare to the capacity. There is a spill cum causeway of 50 ft long and as it never spills, people have encroached the tail canal and are cultivating the lands .
