HYDERABAD: IT is likely that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao switches on the pump house in Package-8 of Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS), in Lakshmipur of Ramadugu mandal on August 12. Once the ‘Bahubali Motors’ of Package-8 is operational, the Mid-Manair and SRSP will start receiving water. 

According to sources in the Irrigation Department, 0.5 tmcft of water would be diverted to Mid-Manair through the gravity canal, while another half tmcft of water would be pumped to SRSP from the canal in a reverse manner.

According to sources, the package pump house is ready to commence operation at any time and all technical parameters are in order. No leakages were observed, sources said. Water has been stored up to 228 metres of reservoir level as well. The synchronisation of machines in auto mode was also taken up.

The wet run may start on Sunday evening or Monday morning. Though the motor was supposed to be operated on Friday, it was postponed due to a technical issue in Package-7, an official said.
