It lies between 11° 00' to 12° 00’ North latitudes and 77° 28' to 78° 50' East longitudes. The district has a total geographical area of 4393.37 Sq.Kms and coastline of 57 Kms. Kancheepuram, the temple town is the district headquarters. The district has been divided into 4 revenue divisions comprising of 13 taluks with 1137 revenue villages. Further, the district it is divided into 13 development blocks with 633 Village Panchayats.

19 Pre-Feasibility Report Sam Global Chemicals (India) Private Limited

According to 2011 census, the District had population of 39.90 lakh, which is about 5.53% of the total State population. The total population of the District was 39,90,897, in which 20,10,309 were Male and 19,80,588 were Female. In rural 14,53,072 and in Urban it was 25,37,825.

Soils have been classified into 1) clayey soil, 2) red sandy or red loamy soil 3) Red sandy brown clayey soil and 4) Alluvial soil. Of the above soils brown clayey soil is the most predominant, covering more than 71 percent of the areal extent of Kancheepuram district. Alluvial soils are found on the banks of Palar, Cheyyar and other rivers. The river alluvium is transported and is seen in coastal area of this district. Sandy coastal alluvial (arenacious soil) occurs along the seacoast as a narrow belt.

Agriculture is the main occupation of the people with 47% of the population engaged in it. Paddy is the major crop cultivated in this district. Groundnuts, Sugarcane, Cereals and Millets and Pulses are the other major crops.

The district is underlain by both sedimentary and fissured formations. The important aquifer system in the district are constituted by 1) unconsolidated and semi consolidated formations and 2) weathered, fissured and fractured crystalline rocks. 8 Porous Formation Semi Consolidated formation: Gondwana sandstones and shales and Tertiary mottled clays and sandstones represent the porous, semi-consolidated sediments. Ground water occurs under water table conditions to confined conditions in the inter granular spaces of sandstones, sands and in the bedding planes and thin fractures of shales. The ground water occurs under water table conditions and the depth of the wells ranges from 5 to 10 m bgl. The depth to water level ranged from 2.89 to 4.09 m bgl during May 2006 and 1.05 to 3.40 m.bgl during Jan’2007. The specific capacity of porus formation ranged from 1.00 to 80.00 lpm/m/dd. Ground Water in Unconsolidated Alluvium This unconsolidated formations occur mainly along the banks of Palar and Cheyyar rivers and the sand layers of this alluvium form the potential aquifer. Between Walajabad and Kancheepuram, small diameter dug wells tap the alluvium with depths ranging between 6 and 12 m bgl. The yield ranges from 25 to 35 m3 /hr. Depth of filter point and dug cum bore wells ranges from 10 – 21 m bgl and yield is around 20 m3 /hr. The yield of infiltration wells with varying depths of 5 – 12 m bgl is around 35 m3 /hr. In areas covered by the laterites, the ground water is developed by means of dug wells in the depth of 4 to 6 m bgl. The estimation of ground water resources for the district has shown that two blocks are over exploited and two blocks are under “Critical” category. The shallow alluvial aquifer along Palar and Cheyyar rivers serve as an important source of drinking water between Kancheepuram to Ayyapakkam and Chingleput to Tambaram.

Rain Water Harvesting

26 Pre-Feasibility Report Sam Global Chemicals (India) Private Limited

The management will be established provision for rainwater Harvest. This process is contributed to ground water level. An adequate area is provided for infiltration of rainwater into the earth. It is helpful to raise the ground water level in the surroundings. This is put into effect through a series of swales and micro grading of the landscape levels that guide the water towards the rainwater harvesting pits. These pits are located in low-lying areas to receive the run-off and allow the water to percolate through the substrate. The purpose is to allow the rainwater to replenish the groundwater supply within the site. A series of rainwater pits are located throughout the site at strategic intervals, to allow greater penetration of rainfall over a wider area.
