The lake was built by a dam 15 m high, with a central body of concrete, earth dams extended lengthwise with a total length of 7&nbsp;km. Lake volume is 14.7 million m³, with a flood mitigation portion of 1.6 million m³, beyond the normal retention. Effectively, to mitigate flooding, the lake volume can be increased when floods are predicted.
