Optimisation of Tunnel Lining

Abstract:

The project area and it surrounding region has been a drought prone area since quite a long time. The majority of the population in this region lives in villages where agriculture is the main source of income. In order to utilize the river water to the possible extent and distributing the same among all the areas of the state, these projects were proposed. This Lift Irrigation Scheme was proposed in to irrigate an ayacut of 1.23 lakh acres and to supply drinking water to the enroute villages [6].
