WHAT IS L.I.S. :-
 A Mechanical arrangement provided to irrigate the
area which is at higher level than the water source.
 History : After drought in 1972, Maharashtra Irrigation
Development Commission (IDCOM) was established
to facilitate financial support to Lift schemes. Water
users co-operative society will be formed to bear the
electricity charges and water cess.
 Later on Govt.of Maharashtra under took small L.I.
schemes in trible and hilly areas.
 In Western Maharashtra lots of K.T.Weir were
constructed and due to facility of releasing water from
U/s dam several co-operative L.I.S. are established.
 Success of these Schemes lies in sowing of cash crops,
sugar cane, vegetables, fruits etc.
 Vishnupuri Lift Irrigation Scheme in Nanded Dist. is
the first major L.I.Scheme administratively
approved in 1979 in the state.
TYPES OF L.I.S. :-
 (1) According to Ownership :-
a) Government L.I.S. Schemes.
b) Co-Operative L.I.S. Schemes.
c) Private L.I.S. Schemes

(2) According to Command Area :-

a) Large L.I.S. (More than 10,000 Ha. Area)
b) Medium L.I.S. ( above 2,000 Ha.& upto 10,000
Ha.Area )
c) Small L.I.S. ( upto 2,000 Ha.Area)
TYPES OF L.I.S. :-
 According to Head :-
a) Low Head ( Lifting head up to 10 meter.)
b) Medium Head (above 10 meters & upto 40 meter)
c) High Head (above 40 meters)

According to Stages :-
a) Single Stage :- Water is lifted in single stage.
b) Multi stage :- Water is lifted in more than one
stage.
According to Way of Pumping :-
a) Series pumping :- Discharge remains same
head goes on adding. Also called as inline pumping
system. Pumps are frequntely operated in series to
supply grater head than individual pumps

b) Parallel pumping :- Here discharges get added

head remains same. Multiple pumps are run

parallely and connected one common header

(Raising main).
 CONCEPT OF L.I.S. PLANNING :
 L.I.S. should be technically feasible, economically
viable, socially accepted and environmentally
sustainable.
 Croping pattern should be appropriate and realistic.
 Height of Lifting
 Distribution system.
 Economical feasibility.
 Design discharge of the scheme
 No.of lifting stages & No.of Rows of Raising Mains.
 Beneficiaries involvement
 Planning of Construction.
FEASIBILITY OF L.I.S. :-
 Before taking any LIS scheme the following criteria's
should be checked
 Availability of required electric load from M.S.E.D.C.L.
consent should be taken.
 Govt. GR dt 23/11/2016 gives the guide lines where LIS
can be taken.
 Draught prone areas (declared by Govt) .
 Tribal areas (declared by Govt) .
 Hilly areas (declared by Govt) .
 Where annual rainfall is less than 15 inch.
Contd…….
 Where it is necessary to lift and utilise the allocated
water awarded by the interstate tribunal
 For the rehabilitation of project affected peoples.
 Atleast one of the above condition should be fullfilled.
 Prior approval to the scheme from the Chief Minister
is necessary.
 The minor LIS will be taken in hand at the cost of
Govt. of Maharashtra in tribal area where
 No alternative is available.
 Written demand by the beneficires.
 Water availability is ensured .
 Identification of command area & cropping pattern.
 Calculation of discharge for rising main which will be
70% of the peak discharge required.
 Calculations of H.P. required for the project.
 Calculation of diameter & rows of rising main & No. of
Pumps, size of pump house etc.

 DISCHARGE (Q)
Discharge is calculated as per Govt. circular dt.6.7.2009.
• Total net crop water requirement at root zone in Mm3 per 1000 Ha.
for peak fortnight as per modified penman method = X
• Conveyance efficiency of project = 70%
• Field application efficiency = 70%
• Overall efficiency of the project = 0.7 x 0.7= 0.49 Say= 50%
• Discharge required for 1000 Ha considering 12 days on and 2 days
off.

X * 106
= =1.929 * X m3/Sec
12 x 24 x 60 x 60 x 0.5
• Designed discharge
= 0.70 * 1.929 * X
= 1.3503 * X m3/Sec. / 1000 Ha.

16
PUMPING CAPACITY

To be worked out with respective to Gross Head of pumping.

• Gross Head for pumping = H = Static head for pumps +

Frictional loss in rising main + losses in bend.

• Total H. P. Required = w Q H /75 X η

w = Density of water (1000 Kg /m3)

Q = Discharge ( m3 /sec)

H = Gross Head (m) for pumping.

η = Efficiency of pump

 TECHNIQUES ADOPTED FOR DESIGN
All design procedure has been formulated, standardized and
made available to the designers (i.e. S.D.E., A.E.-II, Sectional
Engineer ) as printed manual. Since the procedures /
responsibilities has been documented, uniformity in the
design is achieved.
USE OF SOFTWARES
• STAAD – PRO
Internationally accepted 'STAAD_PRO' software is used for the
analysis of frame structure of power house / pump house. Due
to this, 3 dimensional analysis in a short time can be done
owing to speedy and economical solutions of the problem. The
limit state method of design is adopted for the structural
design of R.C.C. components
• SAP 2 & PIPE 2010 USED FOR SURGE ANALYSIS OF L. I. S.
56
 IN HOUSE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

Computer programs developed in advanced Excel by

Engineers of this wing as listed below

• Design of retaining wall.

• Optimization study for economical diameter and thickness of rising
main
• Design of saddle support on rising main.
• Design of Anchor & Thrust block on rising main
• Design of R.C.C. slab.
• Design of Isolated footing for columns carrying axial load and biaxial
moment.
