Kaleshwaram under water -- Learn lessons to move forward

[andhra_jp]

Few Concerns

a) Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project and its costs, the current massive damage to its pumping stations and its lack of any cost benefit ratio logic discussion, if any, need to be understood
b) massive spending is through borrowed money from commercial banks with commercial interest rates
c) entire project is driven by a single contractor.

Though Telangana has  significant catchment area of two major southern rivers- Krishna and Godavari. But the water is at lower level and the lands require water are at higher level. 
Therefore water has to be lifted in order to provide for irrigation. That is an expensive process. 
The main objective of the project is to lift 195 TMC of water and transporting 1600 km of canals and 203 km of tunnels pumping same water 9 stages to lift nearly 600 m from the source.
The estimated cost of this project was Rs.80,000 crores, But the spending already reached Rs.120,000 crores and still there is extension of the project to draw additional one TMC of water per day.
The project is proposed to provide  165 TMC water which expected irrigate  18 lakh ac. This will come to 2593 cu.m per ac. The cost of pumping and other operational and maintenance costs are going to close to at least 70,000 per ac. per season. 
This is going to be one of the most expensive waters ever used for irrigation.
Until now the entire system as whole did not function and reservoirs are not filled.
The benefits of this project still to be seen and so far it provided no significant irrigation, water for domestic use or for Industry.

A project in deep water, literally due to floods

Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project, KLIP,  is in big news now. As on the 15th of July 2022, at the time of drafting this article, two major pumping stations are submerged, 
tens of villages are in water, hundreds of people working on this project have been marooned in water.

This has raised serious concerns about its safety and also ability to deliver water when it is required, that during summer period.

Why pumps are submerged?  : When someone is constructing so close to river, it is not rocket science to expect the floods. So this clearly lack of utter disregard for basic planning and quality of implementation.
Does this complex interconnected system work? :  As mentioned, this is very complex interconnected system. Breakdown of one component in this long chain effects every other system.
Are the tunnels safe? : There is tunnel system of 203 km from Yellampalli. This system is vital for any transmission of water upstream. Even 10 metres of this 203 km tunnel collapses or caves in, the entire Rs.120,000 crore infrastructure will be totally useless. The downstream pumping, upstream pumping will have to be stopped.
Can Mallannasagar reservoir withstand full capacity? 
Can Imamabad reservoir be bottle neck?

We sincerely hope, that Government of Telangana to avoid any wild and highly unscientific statements on floods as creation of conspiracy by foreign  Governments. 
The Chief Minister of Telangana,  during a visit to flood area of Godavari River, made a bizarre statement, blaming floods as foreign conspiracy. 
CM reported to have said “There is this new phenomenon called cloudburst. This is what happened in the Godavari region which caused the flood. 
There are reports that these cloudbursts are a conspiracy by foreign sources”. Such statements, even meant to divert the attention from the core issue may not work. 
There is serious problem with Kaleshwaram project. That needs to be addressed with seriousness it requires.

The Srisalam hydel power plant was submerged twice in 1998 and 2008 in erstwhile Andhra Pradesh. Similarly, the Kalwakurthy pump house also got flooded twice earlier.. Currently, all of them are functioning properly.

Such floods cannot cause any permanent structural damage. After flood water recedes, the pumps which are submerged will be dried and refitted to continue the operations.

I will be not surprised if those submerged motors will start pumping in a months time or less

Srisailam pump house wall collapse was a much bigger disaster, but I clearly remember it was up and running within a few weeks itself. 

Vested interests have been waiting for so long to criticize...such incidents are primary source of  criticism. 

[Ryzen_renoir]

pumps will be fine , they would need to replace some electric equipment like switch gear , transformers , etc and check for shorts 

But the pump house design is faulty , they should have built it on a raised platform or some other way to mitigate the flood effect

Until now the entire system as whole did not function and reservoirs are not filled.
The benefits of this project still to be seen and so far it provided no significant irrigation, water for domestic use or for Industry.
