Wet run of one pump of Narlapur PH of PRLIS taken up
Engineers have successfully conducted a wet run of a pump at the Narlapur pump house, part of the Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme. The project received a boost following government funding and a visit from Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy.
Why it matters
The successful operation of these pumps is vital for irrigation and water supply in the region, especially during challenging climate conditions like El Nino.
The engineers of Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme (PRLIS) on Tuesday conducted wet run of one pump of the Narlapur pump house of the project successfully. The pump was switched on following the arrangement of power supply made after Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s visit to the project recently.
Arrangement of power supply on permanent basis became possible after the release of ₹160 crore required for the purpose and a plea made by Advisor to Government on Lift Irrigation projects. Two pumps of the Yedula pump-house were wet run successfully in September 2023.
