Dam site landscaping

• Dam sites which generally look dull can be converted into a place of beauty


• By landscaping with beautiful trees such as Cassia nodosa, C. javanica, Gulmohar etc.


• A garden or park can also be planned in such places, if space permits.


• The Brindavan Gardens in Mysore constructed below a dam site has become a place of great tourist attraction.


• Irrigation is not a problem for plants at dam site areas and once established will not need much care.


• The trees which are recommended for planting along the banks of rivers and canals are also suitable for dam site areas.
