An integral part of Goa’s irrigation and drinking water supply system, the Salaulim Dam is built on the Zuari River. The construction of the reservoir was complete at the advent of the 21st-century and located nearby, is a botanical garden which is replete with colourful hedges and lush green lawns.
Owing to its picturesque scenery and offbeat architecture, this dam has become a tourist destination.
