Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme is gaining huge records even before its functioning. It will help irrigate 18 lakh acres in 13 districts and stabilise another 17 lakh acres in another seven districts. It will receive water from Medigadda Barrage on Godavari River through a 14.09-kilometre long tunnel which is the longest irrigation tunnel in the world. The project is also using 139 MW pumps to lift huge volume of 2 TMC of water from the river which is yet another record for the project. The 2 TMC of water would be pumped to two barrages (Annaram and Sundilla) which would lead the water to Yellampalli reservoir for further distribution. The project would also be providing drinking water to the thirty Hyderabad. Surely... it’s going to be a pride to Telangana!
