The project was constructed during 1955 to irrigate an ayacut of 12,000 Acres, under two canals, on the either Flanks of the Project. The capacity of the reservoir is 2.276 TMC with FRL + 411.30 Mts. The KWDT has allotted 3.90 TMC of water to Koil Sagar Project. Due to failure of the Rainfall in the catchment for the last several years, only Rabi crops are grown. As such there is no Khariff cultivation. At present only about 5000 Acres on an average is irrigated due to scanty rainfall and insufficient inflows in to the reservoir.
