With a height of 20 feet and a storage capacity of 242 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water for agricultural purposes in the region. The dam is of Earth type with a Buttress core, and while it does not have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate.

The last inspection for the dam was conducted in 1969, highlighting the importance of regular assessments to ensure the safety and functionality of this water resource infrastructure.
