It is one of the major sources of irrigation in the region. Most of the water in this river is passed to the inner places of walayar . The dam holds a larger reservoir area , and the persons living near the reservoir area utilizes the water from the walayar dam as their main water source . But currently the water holding inside the reservoir is less due to lesser rain at walayar.
