/ -- Infrastructure giant Megha Engineering Infrastructure Limited (MEIL) has rewritten the engineering history with its record-breaking performance in executing world's biggest Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme by establishing 11 high capacity pumping stations with a total capacity of 3436 MWs and commencing their operation in shortest possible time. It could complete the first phase in a record-breaking 3 years. With the completion of Link-1 and Link-2 in the Kaleshwaram Project, now Telangana Government is able to lift 2 TMCs of water from Godavari River to fulfil the age-old aspirations of water-starved farmers of the State. Completion of Link-1 enabled to lift the water from Pranahita to Godavari River. While reverse pumping has enabled to re-direct the flow of Godavari, Lakshmi Pump House has made it possible to re-channel water from Pranahitha River into Godavari River. The determination of Telangana Government to provide irrigation to the hitherto barren lands has been thus practically proved with this marvelous performance by MEIL.
Mr A Janardhan, AGM, Lakshmi Pump House, said, "The first phase of project works has been completely brought into utilisation recently by operating all 11 Machines at Lakshmi (Medigadda) Pumping Station simultaneously. About 4 TMCs of water was lifted from this Pumping Station starting from midnight on 15th February to 18th February. It was an eye feast for all as 11 Pumps continuously operated for 392 hours and released water through 22 delivery pipes that flowed through a canal for a distance of 13 km before reaching Saraswathi Reservoir."
