Agriculture in Parseoni tehsil mainly consists of cotton, rice, and wheat in small quantities.

Water from the dam impoundment is use for irrigation in large parts of the Parseoni, Kalmeshwar, Kamthi, Savner, Ramtek, Mauda, and Kuhi tehsils.

This dam also supplies a large part of the drinking water to Nagpur city.

Koradi and Khaparkheda power plants also receive water from the dam impoundment; hence, many farmers face water shortage for irrigation in those years when rainfall is low.
