Kaleshwaram Project has been conceived from the erstwhile Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Pranahita- Chevella Sujala Sravanthi project.
Originally, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Pranahita- Chevella Sujala Sravanthi was proposed to utilize 160 TMC of allocated water of Godavari basin as per GWDT award. A barrage was proposed at Tummidihetti(V) to divert 160 TMC of water to irrigate 16.40 lakh Ac in 7 districts of Telangana State viz., Adilabad, Nizamabad, Karimnagar, Medak, Warangal, Nalgonda & Rangareddy, besides drinking water & industrial water.
The project contemplated to provide Irrigation facilities for an ayacut of 16,40,000 Acres in drought prone areas in 7 Districts in Telangana State. Further, it also planned to provide 10 TMC of Drinking Water to the villages enroute, 30 TMC of Drinking Water to twin Cities of Hyderabad & Secunderabad and 16 TMC of water for Industrial use.
The entire project works are divided into 7 links & 28 packages. Agreements are concluded for all 28 Packages during 2007-08 & 2008-09. But, due to the following aspects the project was taken up for re-engineering:
In Kaleshwaram, Telangana, India, the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP) is a multipurpose irrigation project on the Godavari River. The Pranhita-Godavari river confluence is the location of the largest multi-stage lift irrigation project in the world right now. The Wardha, Painganga, and Wainganga rivers, which together make up the seventh-largest drainage basin on the subcontinent, come together at the confluence of the Pranahita River.
