The Bisalpur Dam Major Irrigation Project was constructed in the 1990s by the Rajasthan state government to supply irrigation water to the Sawai Madhopur and Tonk districts, as well as drinking water to Ajmer, Jaipur, and Tonk. The 574 meter long, 39.5 meter high dam has 17 gates to release water and supplies irrigation to over 81,800 hectares of land. In addition to irrigation and water supply, the Bisalpur Dam is also used for fisheries and is a tourist attraction.
