ABB has deployed five high-capacity motors, each capable of pumping 23,000 litres per second, in the Mahatma Gandhi Kalwakurthy Lift Irrigation Scheme, in the parched lands in Mahbubnagar district of Telangana.
With a depleted watertable , the only option for farming and drinking is to pump water from the Krishna river to a reservoir nearly 300 metres higher.

From there, through a gravity-driven “lift irrigation” system, water is channelled through a canal network to more than 300 villages and to irrigate 1.37 lakh ha of farms.
“Best in class technology can be used to manage availability of water and create the last mile connect with farmers,” Sanjeev Sharma, Managing Director of ABB India, said in a statement.
ABB partnered with Andritz Pumps to provide this advanced pumping solution.
