Government of Andhrapradesh(India) taken up lift irrigation schemes involving lifting huge quantity of water(5,10 T. M. Cft) to Heights (100 M to 400 M) in stages 4 or5 carrying water through 2. 5 M Dia steel pipes to distances 180 KM filling online tanks for irrigating draught prone areas.
This involves huge outlay in Billions of Dollars. Are there any such lift schemes in the world?
Can I know the Particulars?

Wow, big undertaking ok well the only thing that I can think of is the Friant Kern Canal project that lifts 6, 10 ft. diamiter pipes full of water South just out of Bakersfield Ca. and delivers LA with drinking water. Pumps are used of cource but the lift is huge, maybe 2,500 ft.
