The dam has the capacity to hold 227,000 cubic metres of water. Water from Salaulim Dam is mainly supplied to South Goa. In summer of 2019, the artificial lake had hit rock bottom as the water was completely exhausted.
The Forest Department has made a beautiful botanical garden nearby. It has become a major tourist attraction. It also has a water treatment plant that supplies 380 million litres of water per day to South Goa. The construction of the dam was started in 1976 and the dam was completed in 2006.
