The river has several dams and barrages built on it, such as the Ranjit Sagar Dam, the Chamera Dam, the Madhopur Headworks, the Sidhnai Barrage and most recently the Shahpur Kandi barrage, which has stopped the flow of the river water into Pakistan. These structures help in generating electricity, diverting water for irrigation, and creating reservoirs for fish farming. The river also supports a variety of aquatic life, such as trout, mahseer, carp, catfish, and dolphins.
