The dam is an earth embankment made of a clay core and earth filled shoulders. In 1969 the dam wall was built up by with plastic concrete and relevelled. The spillways and overflow are made of ashlar (pitching ) set on concrete. It is in height with a slope of 12.7 degrees, with two lateral overflow stepped spillways. The reservoir covers an area of and is about deep.
