12 | Pattiseema lift route

Pattiseema Lift Irrigation Scheme is associated with lifting Godavari water into a link or canal route toward the Krishna basin. The key technical word is lift: pumps raise water where gravity alone does not deliver it. Its commissioning and annual volume moved are different questions; a historic white paper can prove a milestone for its date but not a 2026 total.

Draw a donor-to-recipient arrow labelled Godavari to Krishna, with a pump symbol at the lift. This is a transfer scheme, not a naturally conjoining tributary.

Worked example: Pattiseema is a lift-linked water-transfer route associated with the Godavari to Krishna connection. A lift means pumping to overcome elevation; gravity flow applies only to suitable downstream reaches. A question about this route is testing inter-basin transfer, not a new source river for the Krishna. Distinguish a completed physical link from the volume delivered in a particular year, which requires records.

Active recall: Locate the named river or project on the relevant map, name its function, and state which facts need a dated source.
