Irrigation water & Mupkal Pump House (Zero Point)
The stage has been set for pumping Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS) water into the Sri Ram Sagar project. Pumping of water into the SRSP by adopting reverse pumping system would mark the culmination of a critical feat in the implementation of the SRSP Rejuvenation Scheme with an outlay of Rs 1,750 crore.

Two of the three pumphouses, which came up as part of the Rejuvenation Scheme at Rampur and Rajeswarraopet in Jagitial district, have become operational. Wet run of the pumping units at Mupkal pumphouse set up in the last leg of the reverse pumping network of the SRSP flood flow canal is in progress, according to the KLIS Engineer-in-Chief N Venkateswarlu.

Chief Minister Chandrasekhar Rao laid the foundation for the SRSP rejuvenation scheme at Pochampad on August 10, 2017, and works were completed in a record time of two years. The successful completion of the wet run of the pumping unit at Mupkal would facilitate pumping of water into the SRSP from 100th km point of the 122 km-long SRSP flood flow canal.

Lakshmi / Laxmi Canal with a total length of 3.5 km from Sri Ram Sagar Project reservoir to Peddavagu is used to irrigate 8,849 ha of ayacut with a head discharge of 14.12 Cumecs (500 Cusecs) in Mupkal mandal, Nizamabad District.
