The total catchment area of the dam is 443,583 ha (1,096,120 acres) and it has a storage capacity at the 16 ft (4.9 m) gauge marker of 236.72×106 cu ft (6.703×106 m3).[2][3]
On average, approximately 150 birds, including the uncommon Lesser Whistling-Duck and the widespread Eastern Cattle Egret, have been seen each year on the eastern side of Nevta Dam. This diverse habitat attracts both common and less frequent visitors, contributing to a total of 196 bird species recorded here so far.[4]
