About Tasgaon Lift Irrigation Scheme

• It is an important irrigation infrastructure initiative in Maharashtra.  
• It encompasses the construction of a comprehensive water distribution system for a command area of 2,277 hectares across six villages in Satara Taluka in Satara district. 
• The villages included in the project scope are Tasgaon, Varne, Karandwadi, Devkarwadi, Degaon, and Nigadi.  
• The project is expected to improve water availability and irrigation access across the region, supporting long-term agricultural and rural development.
• Lift irrigation schemes, unlike gravity-fed canal systems, rely on electrically powered pumping infrastructure to raise water from a source body and push it through a pressurized distribution network to farmland at higher elevations.
• The scheme includes multiple work fronts: head works, pump houses, switch yards, rising mains, delivery chambers, and a closed-pipe distribution network.  
• The scheme falls under the Maharashtra Krishna Valley Development Corporation, Pune.
