[6] In the vicinity of the LMD which is the only place of recreation for the people of Karimnagar, in the light of recent drowning incidents and the insecurity created by hooligans, security measures have been stepped up.

It has a volume content of 5.41 million cum with a reservoir water spread area of 81 square kilometres (31 sq mi) at FRL of 280 m (920 ft).

[4][8] The storage behind the dam serves as a balancing reservoir for the Kakatiya Canal and regulates flow for irrigation.

The water quality status of the Lower Manair Reservoir was studied from September 2009 to August 2010 for the physico- chemical parameters such as water temperature, pH, turbidity, transparency, total dissolved solids, total hardness, chlorides, phosphate, nitrates, dissolved oxygen (DO) and biological oxygen demand (BOD).

[10] Studies were conducted in the LMD reservoir from June 2013 to May 2014 to identify the larvivorous activity of fishes.
