As the Water Resources Department wanted to construct small irrigation dam project across the small stream, it may benefit the farmers especially for paddy cultivation. The villagers can also take up vegetable cultivation once this irrigation project is implemented, however during the lean period, the level of water may not be sufficient as this small stream reduce the flow from November to April. However, villagers will be benefitted especially during the paddy cultivation season.
