The lake formed by the dam covers an area of 32 square miles and is an ideal place for bird watching. There is plenty of waterfowl in the lake, both resident and migratory.
The surrounding hills are the home of urial, Sindh ibex, four-horned antelope, Indian wolf, Golden jackal, Bengal fox, Indian pangolin and numerous other birds and reptiles.
