        abstract = {This paper presents a detailed case study on the Sulwade-Jamphal-Kanoli Lift Irrigation Scheme located in Dhule district, Maharashtra. The foundation stone of this project was laid  by the Hon’ble Prime Minister in 2019, aims to irrigate over 33,000 hectares of agricultural land in drought-prone regions of Dhule and Shindkheda Taluka through a modern piped distribution network (PDN). The paper highlights the scheme’s engineering design, implementation, and expected water-use efficiency. A comparative analysis with other piped irrigation projects across Maharashtra demonstrates the advantages of PDN systems in reducing seepage, evaporation, and operational losses. Findings indicate that such systems significantly enhance irrigation reliability, sustainability, and regional agricultural productivity.},
