4.5 Meteorological data

The Belagavi district's historical met. data collected such as climate, temperature, rainfall details are discussed below. (Source: CGWB)

(i) Climate

The climate of the district as a whole can be termed as semi-arid. The variation in the maximum temperature during the year ranges from 270C to 35.70 C and minimum from 13.90C to 20.60 C. The district experiences pleasant winters and hot dry summers. The hot season extends from March to May, during which the daily maximum temperature often shoots up to 35.7 0C. Agro-climatologically the district can be divided into three zones i.e. high rainfall “Hilly zone”, “Northern transitional zone” and “Northern dry zone” from southwest to northeast respectively.

(ii) Rainfall

The average rainfall in the district is 808 mm. The rainfall is high in the South- Western parts of the district in close proximity of the Western ghats and decreases very rapidly towards east from 1,955 mm, at Khanapur near Western ghats to 545 mm at Athani. About 68 percent of the annual rainfall is received during the monsoon months from June to September. The variation in the annual rainfall as a whole from year to year is not large.

(iii) Temperature

There are two meteorological observations in the district; 1. At the central Telegraph Office, Belgaum. 2. At Sambra (Airodrome) The data available at the CTO observation has been taken in general as representative of the climatic conditions in the district. There will be a steady increase in the temperature after February, April is generally the hottest month with the mean daily temperature, maximum at 35.7° C and mean daily minimum temperature at 19.5°. The summer season on the whole is milder than that of the neighboring district. But, temperature is highest during the summer season, the day temperature occasionally rises up to 41°C at Belgaum. With the early onset of the monsoon into the district, December will be generally the coldest month with the mean daily maximum temperature at 29.3° and the mean daily minimum temperature at 13.9°C. During the period from December to February, the minimum temperature on individual days varies from 9.0°C to 7.0°C.

The highest temperature recorded at Belagavi was 40.80°C on the 3rd May 1974. The lowest minimum was 6.7°C on the 11th February, 1901.

4.7 Soil characteristics

The soils of Belgaum district can broadly be classified into red soils and black soils. These soils vary in depth and texture, depending on the parent rock type, physiographic settings and climatic conditions. By and large, black soils predominates the Deccan Trap terrain and the red soils are found in the southwestern and southeastern part of the district in gneissic terrain. These soils in turn can be grouped

Page 23 of 34

KARNATAKA INDUSTRIAL AREA DEVELOPMENT BOARD

Pre-Feasibility report for the proposed Kanagala Industrial Area Development at Hukkeri taluk, Belagavi district, Karnataka

into seven categories as given below, out of which the first five cover large tracks of land while the last two are local in nature.

1) Shallow black soils: These soils occur in the Deccan trap region and to some extent are also developed in schist, shale and limestone terrains. They are greyish to dark greyish-brown in colour, with clayey texture. These soils have poor to moderate infiltration characteristics.

2) Medium black soils: These soils are predominantly derived from Deccan traps and occupy large parts of the district. They are dark greyish-brown to very dark greyish- brown with clayey texture. These are derived from the weathered products of basalts and limestone and are darker in valleys than in high lands. Their texture varies from loam to clay, with low to moderate infiltration characteristics.

3) Deep to Very deep black soils: These soils occupy large tracts in Deccan trap terrain along the Krishna River and also in the gneissic terrain. These soils are dark greyish-brown to very dark greyish-brown in colour and have clayey texture. These soils occur on plains or lands having gentle slopes. These soils exhibit wide cracks in summers. These are derived from a wide variety of parent rock types, like traps, schists, gneisses and sedimentary rocks. They are generally transported and therefore occur in valleys and depressions. Accumulation of lime, gypsum and soluble salts at varying depths in the soil profile often pose problems. They have poor infiltration characteristics.

4) Mixed red and black soils: These soils occur in the northern parts of the district. They are dark reddish-brown to dark greyish-brown in colour with silty-clay to clayey-loam textures. These soils are derived from gneisses, schists and sedimentary rocks. Red soils having high infiltration characteristics are confined to uplands, whereas, black soils of poor to medium infiltration characteristics occur in valleys and low lands.

5) Red loamy soils: These soils occur as small strips in the valleys adjacent to the Western Ghats. They are generally transported and are loamy to silty-loam in texture. They have moderate to good infiltration characteristics.

6) Lateritic soils: Lateritic soils are red in colour and occur as pockets. They occur at high-levels as insitu in Deccan Trap terrain and at low-levels as transported in Malnad region. They are derived from Deccan traps as well as sedimentary rocks, Dharwarian Schists and peninsular gneisses. These soils have good to moderate infiltration characteristics.

KARNATAKA INDUSTRIAL AREA DEVELOPMENT BOARD

Pre-Feasibility report for the proposed Kanagala Industrial Area Development at Hukkeri taluk, Belagavi district, Karnataka

7) Alluvial soils: These soils are developed over the alluvium deposited by the Krishna River and its tributaries. They are very limited in extent and thickness and are local in nature. These soils have good infiltration characteristics and are composed of coarse sand, sandy-loam and loams.

4.8 Geology of the region and Kanagala industrial area

The district is underlain mainly by the gneisses, schist, limestone, sandstone, basalts, alluvium etc. of Archaean to Recent age. Deccan basalts cover an area of 7,650 Sq.Kms. in the northern part of the district and have a maximum thickness of around 256 m, which gradually thins out in the southern direction. Hard rock's occupy a major part of the district; majority of which are basaltic lava flows.

4.9 Geohydrology and groundwater conditions

Water table generally follows the topography of the area and is at greater depths in the water divides and topographic highs, but becomes shallower in the valleys and topographic lows and therefore, groundwater moves down and follows the gradient from the higher to lower elevations, that is, from recharge area to discharge area. Therefore, locally direction of flow from higher elevations is towards the rivers. The district is underlain by gneisses, schist, limestone, sandstone, basalts, alluvium etc. of Archaean to Recent age. Deccan basalts cover an area of 7,650 Sq. km. in the northern part of the district and have a maximum thickness of around 256 m, which gradually thins out in the southern direction. Hard rocks occupy a major part of the district; majority of which are basaltic lava flows. Most of these rocks have poor capacity of storing and transmitting water, except through favourable zones and at favourable locations. Aquifer systems encountered are therefore limited in nature. Ground water occurs both in weathered and fractured zones. Ground water occurs in all weathered formations of the district under phreatic conditions and in fractured and jointed formations under semi- confined conditions. Deccan basalts act as a multilayer aquifers having low to medium permeability. In Deccan basalts that comprise different flows, fractures and interstitial pore spaces of vesicular zones, are good repositories of ground water. Groundwater occurs under phreatic conditions in weathered zone of these basalts and under semi- confined to confined conditions in inter-trapeans and also in joints and fractures at deeper levels.

In limestone, solution cavities are considered to be more potential than weathered and fractured ones. In gneisses and schist, weathered zone varies from 7 to 12 m and water- bearing zones extend down to 80m. The aquifers occurring within the shallow depth range of 0 to 20 m bgl are mainly weathered and fractured formations. Groundwater occurs in these formations under phreatic conditions and the average thickness of these aquifers ranges from 5 to 15m. In general, 60% area of the district is having the

weathered thickness in the range of 5 to 10 m. About 25% of the district area has weathered thickness in the range of 10 to 15m and 15% in the range of 15 to 20m. In the major parts of the district, the decadal mean of depth to water level generally ranged between 5 to 20 m bgl. During pre-monsoon period i.e. May 2006, 8%, 28%, 37%, and 27% of the wells had depth to water level ranges between 0-2, 2-5, 5-10 and 10-20m bgl respectively. There was a rise of water level in 30%, 20% and 30% of the wells during post monsoon period i.e. November 2006 in the range of 0-2, 2-4 and more than 4m respectively. On the other hand 12%, 5% and 3% of the wells showed a fall in water levels in the ranges of 0-2, 2-4 and more than 4m respectively. Therefore, more than half of the district had depth to water level between 2-5m bgl during post-monsoon period i.e. November 2006 and the overall depth to water level in the district was between 0 to 10m bgl, except in a small strip towards southern part of Ramdurg taluk where it is more than 10m bgl. The long-term pre-monsoon water level trend (1996- 2005) shows a rise in 53% of the wells, while there is a fall in 47% of the wells. On the other hand during post-monsoon period, 68% of the wells show falling trend, while there is a rising trend in 32% of the wells. Over all the annualized trend shows a fall in 61% of the wells and rise in 39% of the wells. Based on the pumping test data of the dug wells, it is inferred that there is a progressive increase in the permeability exceeding >100m/ day in the water table phreatic zones of basaltic aquifers towards the east, even though the area falls in the northern dry and transitional zone having low to moderate rainfall. Similar is the case with other lithologic units. On the other hand in Khanapur taluk, though it falls in high rainfall hill zone agro-climatically, the permeability of the principle water table aquifers of schists and gneisses range from < 25 to 50m/day. Analyses of Pumping test data of exploratory borewells show that wells have yielded discharges in the range of 0.02 to 7.58 lps and the draw down ranged between 0.068 to 32.44 m. The transmissivity (T) computed was between 1 and 2,220 m2 /day.

The depth to water level in the pre-monsoon and post monsoon periods in Belagavi district are shown in Fig. 04 & Fig. 05.

4.10 Ecological features

Natural vegetation of Belagavi district - The total geographical area is 13433 sq. km. Belagavi district has the fifth place in forest area among the districts of the state. Forests are noticed mostly on the spurs of the Western ghats with a total of 190424 hectares of forest area in 1997-98. It has 14.16 percent of its total geographical area under forests. The forest area, found in the district, is divided into semi-ever green, moist deciduous and scrub and thorny forests. The Semi-evergreen forests are situated in the places where the rainfall is from 150 cm to 250 cm. It is noticed in an area of 62,321 hectares of Jamboti Khanakumbi and part of Hemmadige area. The most deciduous forests are noticed in the rainfall area with 100 cm and more rainfall, which is noticed in an area of 38574 hectares near Nagaragalli, Tavargatti and around Khanapur. In this type of forests, rosewood, teakwood, honnematti, nandi etc., are commonly observed.

The ecological studies of Kanagala industrial area and its 10 km study area will be carried out in detail and the same will be incorporated in the EIA/EMP report. There is no reserve forest within the study area of 10 km radius.
