This study provides a comparative analysis of the pipe and canal distribution networks of the Tembhu Lift Irrigation Project with the objective to eliminate water scarcity and enhance agricultural yields in Maharashtra, India's drought-prone areas. The Tembhu Lift Irrigation Project, a significant initiative, provides an analysis of its pipe and canal distribution networks in this research. The effectiveness, cost effectiveness, environmental effect, and maintenance required of both distribution systems were evaluated under the investigation. The study analyzes these two networks with the aim of determining whether the approach for the Tembhu Lift Irrigation Project delivers improved sustainability and overall performance. The results indicate that although the pipe network is more efficient and provides advantages for water conservation, the canal system continues to be an excellent option due to its established use in the area and its economic viability. The recommendations in the paper's conclusion can be used to optimize the distribution network in order to save expenses, improve water use efficiency, and guarantee the irrigation project's long-term success.
