Dummugudem Lift Irrigation Scheme
Dummugudem lift irrigation project is a lift irrigation project located near Dummugudem, Khammam district in Telangana, India.[1] There are two lift irrigation schemes under this project by names Rajiv Dummugudem lift irrigation scheme and Indira Dummugudem lift irrigation scheme. Rajiv Dummugudem lift irrigation scheme is planned to supply irrigation water for 200,000 acres in Khammam and Warangal districts drawing Godavari River water from the existing Dummugudem barrage pond. Indira Dummugudem lift irrigation scheme is planned to supply irrigation water for 200,000 acres in Khammam District drawing Godavari River water from the existing Dummugudem barrage pond.
Dummugudem to Sagar tail pond canal to transfer Godavari water to Nagarjuna Sagar tail pond located across the Krishna River is also under execution. Dummugudem to Nagarjuna Sagar tail pond link canal is entirely located in Telangana State and needs to be routed through high lands which necessitate more pumping head.
Alternate to Dummugudem to Nagarjuna Sagar tail pond link canal
An alternative link canal to Nagarjuna Sagar tail pond from Polavaram dam is also economically feasible to transfer Godavari water. This link canal passes entirely through the coastal Andhra region only.
