2. LIFTLIFT
IRRIGATIONIRRIGATION
Lift irrigation is a method of irrigation in which water is
not transported by natural flow(as in gravity-fed canal
system) but is lifted with pumps or other means.
OVERVIEWOF LIFT IRRIGATION:OVERVIEWOF LIFT IRRIGATION:
1.Carry the water to the delivery chamber
from the water source.
2.Distribute the water to the required
places.
3. PROCESS OF LIFTPROCESS OF LIFT
IRRIGATIONIRRIGATION
1. The water is carried out by the help of pumps.
2. The water is carried out from the water source at the lower
portion of the land.
3. Mainly construction of dams and cannels are done there.
Distribution:Distribution:
1. Distribution is done by gravitational method.
2. At first a contour map is prepared and the places which is to
be irrigated is blocked according to there need.
3. Required dia pipe lines and needed valves are placed for the
distribution.
4. ADVANTAGES OF LIFT IRRIGATIONADVANTAGES OF LIFT IRRIGATION
1. Made irrigation possible at higher levels.
2. Land acquisition problem is less.
3. Water losses are low.
4. Man power is less used.
REQUIREMENTS OF LIFT IRRIGATION:REQUIREMENTS OF LIFT IRRIGATION:
1. Constant water sources should be available for whole year.
2. Water can be made available through dams,weir,river,canal etc.
3. To lift water to desired location pumps is required.
5. LIFT IRRIGATION SCHEME IN INDIALIFT IRRIGATION SCHEME IN INDIA
(TELANGANA)(TELANGANA)
1. National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development
reports that there are 1401 lift irrigation scheme is
financed by them.
2. These schemes irrigates 22000 hectares of land and have a
total financial outlay of Rs. 6462.5 million.
3. The 8% of Maharashtra is occupied by lift irrigation.
