Waterfalls and Zainager Canal:
Zainager is a canal between the Wular lake and the Pohru river developed by Zain-ul-Abidin (1420-1470 A.D.) by raising a dam of boulders across the Pohru to provide water for irrigation in the tract. Zain-ul-Abdin constructed the Zainager Canal and started building places, the chaks, who appear to have remained untamed so far. The purpose of constructing Nehr-e-Zainager (Zainager Canal) was to irrigate Zainager, it originates from Sonarwani, and flows through Watrina, Panjigam, Onagam, Potushai and so on... and finally reaches to Zainager (village). It moves in loops till it enters Sopore irrigating about 13300 acres of land. It is 47 km long, takes its water from the river Madhumati.
Panchakki(Grutt- Kashmiri), also known as the water mill, is used to grind grain. The water mill is fed with sufficient water, the arrangement is such that the water is made to fall into the Chakki river's cistern from quite a height in order to generate the necessary power to drive the mill. Onagam's Panchakki is located near the twin waterfalls. The main water resource to this chakki is Nehr Zainagair (Budshah Canal). A few gallons of water are allowed to flow through a small stream towards the panchakki, and once the purpose of running the grinder is served, water is allowed to flow back into Badshah Canal. Onagam's Grutt keeps serving people from distant areas almost throughout the year. Except for Nov, Dec, and January. it keeps running throughout the year.
There are several schools and educational institutions in the village. These include:
