It not only serves as source of water supply, but also helps in balancing flood control and landscape ecology.

After the tanker sewage disposal issue was highlited .. the PMC officials right from Commissioner, Addl Commissioner and Department heads have supported this cause whole heartedly.. so now we will finally have a sewage infrastructure in part of bavdhan that has been in PMC since 1997.
