About Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP)
- It is a multi-purpose irrigation project located on the Godavari River in Kaleshwaram, Telangana.
- The Godavari River, often referred to as the ‘Dakshin Ganga‘, is the largest river in Peninsular India. It originates from the slopes of the Western Ghats in Maharashtra’s Nasik district, it eventually drains into the Bay of Bengal.
- KLIP is set to become the world’s largest multi-stage lift irrigation project.
- In lift irrigation projects, water is not transported by gravity from higher to lower elevations through canals. Instead, it is pumped or raised using surge pools to a main delivery chamber located at the highest point of the project, from where it is then distributed to the beneficiary fields.
- The project stretches approximately 500 km across 13 districts and includes a canal network spanning 1,800 km.
