J CHOKKA RAO DEVADULA LIFT IRRIGATION SCHEME

Preamble:

J.Chokka Rao Devadula Lift Irrigation Scheme envisaged with lifting of 38.16 TMC
water from Godavari River near Gangaram (V), Eturunagaram (M), Warangal District of
Telangana to irrigate 6.21 Lakh Acres in upland drought prone areas of Karimnagar,
Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Warangal (U), Warangal (Rural), Siddipet, Yadadri, Jangaon and
Suryapet Districts from an Elevation +71 m to +540 m.. The Government of Telangana issued
G.O. Rt. No. 25, Dt:21-01-2015
2015 to enhance water from 38.16
38.1 TMC to 60 TMC, this would be
met from overall allocation earmarked for the Project falling within the territorial jurisdiction
of Telangana State. This Scheme
cheme is taken up in a Phased manner i.e., Phase-I,
Phase Phase-II and
Phase-III. The Phase-II & Phase
Phase-II Conducted System is completed and Distributory System
under Phase-II nearly completion. The Phase-II and Phase-III
III works are in progress and are in
at difference stages.
