The work on this dam was completed in 1960.

The total length of the main canals, branches and distribution system is about 2,342 km, serving an area of 2,290 km² of CCA.  50% of the water intercepted at Kota Barrage has been agreed to be diverted to Madhya Pradesh for irrigation. The Barrage operates 18 gates to control flow of flood and canal water downstream, and serves as bridge between parts of Kota on both side of the river.
           The massive flow/froth of water during opening of gates in monsoon season — and accompanying vibration of bridge — are particular attraction among locals.
