Human activity
Two dams have been built on Dhasan: one at Pahari Ban Sujara Dam and one further down at GhatLahchura dam. A three-branched irrigational canal was opened in 1910, diverting some of the river's flow and providing water for the Bundelkhand region.[5][6]
The river was known as the Dasharna in ancient times.[7][8] Residents of nearby villages regard this river as a holy river.[citation needed]
