1. Salient Features of Srikakulam District

Srikakulam District is the extreme North eastern District of Andhra Pradesh

situated within the Geographic Co-ordinates of 18°-20’ and 19°-10’ of Northern

latitude and 83°-50’ and 84°-50’ of Eastern longitude. The Nagavali,

Vamsadhara, Mahendratanaya and Bahuda are the important rivers of the

District. The coastal belt of over 193 km on the East and the on

the West, District flanks in the south and west while Orissa

bounds it on the North and on the East. The D i s t r i c t

d e r i v e d i t s name from Srikakulam . Srikakulam District was carved out

in 1950 by bifurcating it from District remained unaffected in its

territorial jurisdiction for sometime. In November, 1969 the District lost 63 Villages

from Saluru Taluk and 44 Villages from Bobbili Taluk to .

Again in May, 1979 the District had undergone major territorial changes on

account of the formation of new District Vizianagaram with the transfer of

Salur, Bobbili, Parvathipuram and Cheepurupalli Taluks to the new District. The

Geographical area of the District is 5,83,700 Hectares. Especially the District is

backward in all aspects except Sex – Ratio where Female population

exceeds Male Population. The Lord Suryanarayana Temple at is

famous in Andhra Pradesh. The District is situated in North Coastal Plain of the

Agro – Climatic Zone and partly in Tribal Areas. The District has two Natural

Regions Viz., the Hilly Region called Agency Area, mostly inhabitated by Tribal

Population and the Plain Area.

1.1 Administrative Setup

The district is divided into 3 Revenue divisions viz., 1.Tekkali 2. and

3.Srikakulam covering 38 mandals (Fig.1) with 1863 Revenue Villages and 1099

Grampanchats. There are Six Municipal Corporations with 36 Revenue Villages and

147 Wards., 1.Srikakulam 2. Amadalavalasa 3.- 4. Ichapuram

1

5.Rajam Nagara palika and 6.Palakonda Nagara palika. There are 10 Assembly

Constituencies with one SC and one ST. There is one Parliamentary Constituency in the district.

1.2.Drainage

The main rivers drain the district are Vamsadhara and Nagavali. The other

important rivers flowing are Suvarnamukhi, Vegavati, Mahendra Tanya and

Bahuda. The rivers Vamsadhara, Nagavali and Suvarnamukhi are perennial.

The drainage in western part of the district resembles dendritic type, where as

in the central part it is parallel to sub-dendritic. The overall drainage is of

2

medium to coarse textured towards west and north of the district, whereas in

central and southern parts it is very coarse. The drainage density varies from

less than 0.2 to 1 km/km2. There are ten Major and Medium irrigation Projects

in the District, such as BRR Vamsadhara Project (I&II), Madduvalasa, Thotapalli,

Narayanapuram Anicut, Kalingadala Reservoir, Dabarsingi Reservoir,

Bondigedda Reservoir, Gajjiligedda Reservoir, Thotapalli Reservoir and Pydigam

Project.

1.2a Eco Sensitive Zone: Most of the wetlands are seen in the coastal plains, followed by the midland plains in Srikakulam District. Pisciculture is practiced in most of the wetlands. Wetlands in the district provide a number of ecosystem services such as water

3

for irrigation and fish culture, habitat for wildlife, grazing field for livestock etc.The role of these wetlands in recycling nutrients and arresting of sedimentation and controlling floods remains undervalued. The coastal plains are blessed with numerous wetlands of different sizes and characteristics, of which ‘Beelas’ are of ecologically and economically significant. Four major large wetland complexes, namely , , Ichapuram and Poondi are situated in the coastal plains in the district. In addition, there are hundreds of small and medium, seasonal and perennial wetlands of diverse nature. Sompeta Beela, a complex of three separate but connected water bodies of which two are brackish and the other fresh water, with its surrounding flood plains is a wetland complex with an approximate area of 800 hectares. It is an important habitat of bird species and plant species. Naupada swamps is another large wetland complex which falls in the Tekkali division of the district. The Naupada swamps consists of vast stretches of perennially and seasonally water logged areas and salt pans.Poondi wetland, a backwater one, has a water-spread of about 200 ha and vast stretches of salt pans and aquaculture farms in the adjoining areas.

These wetlands provide several known crucial ecosystem services such as water for irrigation, fishing, grazing land for thousands of cattle during lean period, fodder, edible and medicinal plants, roofing and thatching materials, and several unaccounted services such as moderating local climate and offering haven for several known and unknown species. Important Bird Areas (IBA) in the district, Telineelapuram and Telkunchi are in the coastal areas of Srikakulam. The coast of Srikakulam district is the second largest breeding site after coast for the endangered Olive Ridley Turtles. Proposals for setting up Super Thermal Power Plants (STPPs) at Bhavanapadu, a part of the Naupada swamps are in advanced stage. Bhavanapadu wetland is an important for aging ground for the Spot billed Pelicans and Painted Storks of the Telineelapuram Heronry.

The ‘Beelas’ as made out are not inconsequential water bodies in the coastal plains and should be protected from any violations of their integrity as they are ecologically sensitive and important, habitats for diverse biodiversity

All the wetlands in the district with more than 500 ha should be identified and protected along with wetlands that are ecologically sensitive.

1.3. Climate and Rainfall

The climate of the district is moderate and characterized by high humidity all through the year along with oppressive summer and good seasonal rainfall. The period from December to middle of February is generally the season of fine weather.The average annual rainfall of the district is 1067 mm, which ranges from nil rainfall in January and November to 208 mm in September and

October. September and October are the wettest months of the year. The mean seasonal rainfall distribution is 745 mm in southwest monsoon (June-

September), 214 mm in northeast monsoon (Oct-Dec), 18 mm rainfall in Winter

(Jan-Feb) and 90 mm in summer (March–May). The percentage distribution of rainfall, season-wise, is 70% in southwest monsoon, 20 % in northeast monsoon, 2%in winter and 8% in summer.

1.3a. Automatic Weather Stations Almost in each and every mandal automatic weather stations (AWS) are established by A.P. State Developmental Planning Society (APSDPS), Planning Department, Govt. of A.P. (Fig.4) and the data from these stations is received every day. The weather information across the district Srikakulam is monitored on real

9

time using a network of Automatic gauges to measure various weather parameters. The network of gauges installed in the district include: 59 Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) measuring 6 weather parameters viz., Rainfall, Air Temperature, Humidity, Wind Speed, Wind Direction and station level atmosphericpressure 10.Automatic Rain gauges in Srikakulam . 4 GlobalRadiationSensors 48 SoilMoistureSensors 12 RiverGauges 6 ReservoirLevelSensorsand 1 Tidal Gauge This data is being used by various Government agencies like Agriculture Department, Disaster Management, Irrigation Department, Energy Department etc., for proper planning and implementation of various Government programs and schemes. AWS data is also being used for implementation of Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme (WBCIS) for various crops in the districts.

The mean daily maximum temperature in the district is about 34°C in May and the mean daily minimum temperature is about 17.5°C in December/ January. Temperature in the district begins to rise from the middle of February till May. With the onset of southwest monsoon in June, the temperature decreases by about 2°C and is more or less uniform during the monsoon period. From October onwards the temperature steeply declines till December/ January. The mean daily maximum temperature increases from coast to west of the district where as mean daily minimum temperature decreases from coast to western part of the district.

The relative humidity in the district is of the order of 80 percent in the mornings throughout the year, where as in the evenings the relative humidity varies from about 70 to more than 80 percent Winds in the district are generally light to moderate in speed with some strengthening during summer and the early part of the southwest monsoon season with directions mostly between south and west.

1.4 a Andhra Pradesh Road Information System

The Srikakulam district is a northern coastal district of Andhra Pradesh and covering an area of 5,837 sq.km with a distribution of 4,260 habitations in 38 mandals. The analysis reveals that out of 4260 habitations, 1027 habitations are not having connectivity with BT & CC road. The total number of PR roads are 1,966 and its spatial length is 3,392 km, of which BT is 1,165 km, 189 km CC, 675 km WBM, 1,044 km Gravel and 319 km Earthen surface. Figure-5 shows the spatial distribution of PR roads, connected and unconnected habitations with BT & CC roads in the district. NH16 is passing through Srikakulam covering a length of 215 km in the district. APSAC carried out detailed mapping of Panchayat raj roads using high resolution satellite data and developed a web application (APSAC, 2017a).

A well maintained database system for Panchayat Raj road network would play a significant role in the planning and maintenance. Andhra Pradesh Road Information System (APRIS), a Web GIS interface has been developed with different tools for displaying, quarrying and report generation. Using this system, department can add new road data in the system, update existing road information, and other requirements of road networks, etc. including generation of reports by remotely accessing the central database through a web browser.

The up-to-date road network database is important to many Geographic Information System (GIS) applications (e.g., traffic management, emergency handling, etc), it is very essential to update all roads. Feature extraction based on remotely sensed imagery has become easy in cost effective manner due to availability of high spatial resolution (1-4 meters) data, fast orbit repeatability, rich multi-spectrum information. Distribution of Road network with connected and unconnected habitations are shown in Fig 6 1.5 Population and Literacy

Especially the District is backward in all aspects except Sex – Ratio where

Female population exceeds Male Population since inception of the Srikakulam.

The District has 1863 Revenue villages, 1099 Grampanchayats and 38 Mandals.

There are 6 in the district. As per the 2011 census, the population of the district is 25,37,593. The urban population of the district is 4,36,347 whereas rural population constitutes 22,63,124. The density of population is 463. In terms of

Scheduled caste population there are 1.25 lakhs males and 1.31 lakhs females.

2.Land Utilization, Forest and Slope of Srikakulam District

The Land Use / Land Cover (LU/LC) pattern of any region is an outcome of various physical, cultural factors and their utilization by man in time and space. Land use refers to the type of utilization to which man has put the land. It also refers to the evaluation of the land with respect to various natural characteristics. But land cover describes the vegetal attributes of land. Land use/land cover data is essential for planners, decision makers and those concerned with land resources management. For the proper understanding of the influence of the various human-induced land use practices with regard to the environmental change, it is essential to help simulate the land use changes. Remote sensing technology is considered the most effective as it provides timely and authentic information about the spatial distribution of land use/land cover, while Geographical Information System (GIS) provides a flexible digital environment for collecting, storing, visualizing and analyzing the spatial data. Remote sensing as a vital tool helps for rapid assessment and monitoring of natural resource. When combined with GIS, it makes it possible to map land use/cover phenomena in detail for further planning, development and decision-making which are essential for meeting the increasing demands and welfare of the ever-growing population.

2.1 Land Use / Land Cover Classification

Various land use/land cover categories have been delineated by using 3 seasons (Kharif, Rabi & Zaid) satellite data under level-3 classification. For on-screen digitization, visual image interpretation techniques (size, shape, color, tone, texture, association and pattern) have been used for classifying the land use/land cover map (NRSA, 2006). This information is used for general planning purposes at district/mandal level. The broad categories are built-up, agricultural, forest, wastelands, wetlands and water bodies. The spatial distribution of land use/land

22

cover of the Srikakulam district is shown in Figure-8 and area statistics presented in Table-3.

The land use/cover pattern of a region is an outcome of natural and socio- economic factors and their utilization by man in time and space. Information on land use/cover and possibilities for their optimal use is essential for the selection, planning and implementation of land use schemes to meet the increasing demands for basic human needs and welfare. Land use affects land cover and

24

changes in land cover affect land use. Changes in land cover by land use do not necessarily imply degradation of the land. However, many shifting land use patterns driven by a variety of social causes, result in land cover changes that affect biodiversity, water and radiation budgets, trace gas emissions and other processes that come together to affect climate and biosphere (Riebsame et al., 1994). Land use/cover change detection is very essential for better understanding of landscape dynamic during a known period of time having sustainable management. Land use/cover changes stand for a widespread and accelerating process, mainly driven by natural phenomena and anthropogenic activities, which, in turn drive changes that would impact natural ecosystem (Ruiz-Luna and Berlanga- Robles, 2003; Turner and Ruscher, 2004). Understanding landscape patterns, changes and interactions between human activities and natural phenomenon are essential for proper land management and decision improvement. Today, earth resource satellite data are very applicable and useful for land use/cover change detection studies (Yuan et al.,

2005; Brondizio et al., 1994). Remote Sensing (RS), Geographical Information

System (GIS) and Global Positioning System) are now providing new tools for natural resources mapping, management and planning. Land cover data documents how much of a region is covered by forests, wetlands, impervious surfaces, agriculture, and other land and water types. Water types include wetlands or open water. Land use shows how people use the landscape – whether for development, conservation or mixed uses. The different types of land cover can be managed or used quite differently.

25

India is bestowed with valuable natural resources consisting of forests, mineral deposits, wetlands, rivers, surface water bodies and vast areas of agriculture serving the needs of crores of population and varied ecological functions. Land use Land cover units have a defined land capability on the basis of which it is to be decided that what should be the proper use of each land parcel in such a way that it will yield to its maximum capability without any further degradation. Land use refers to the various uses under which land is brought by a multitude of human activities whereas land cover refers to the natural covering or setting of land without interference of any human activity.

Land Use / Land Cover (LULC) is dynamic in nature and requires regular monitoring to understand areas of rapid change and to ascertain the reasons/ drivers for the change. The change in land use / land cover is the resultant of many interacting processes operating on the natural resources. This will enable planners and administrators to initiate the appropriate measure for preventing / arresting the degradation of natural resources. Detection of changes in the land use/ land cover involves use of at least two period data sets. The changes in land use/ land cover due to natural and human activities can be observed using current and archived remotely sensed data. Spatial distribution of land use/ land cover information and its changes is desirable for any planning, management and monitoring programs at local, regional and national levels. This information not only provides a better understanding of land utilization aspects but also plays a vital role in the formulation of policies and program required for developmental planning. Planning means the

26

assessment of future and making provisions for it. For ensuring sustainable development, it is necessary to monitor the ongoing changes in land use/ land cover pattern over a period of time. These changes result from population growth and migration of poor rural people to urban areas for economic opportunities.

However, information on the consequences of land cover change for ecosystem services and human well-being at local scales is largely absent. The sprawling process of expansion is disordered, unplanned, leading often to inefficient and unsustainable urban expansion patterns.

Land use / Land cover map and change detection analysis over a period of 5 years using satellite images of years 2011-12 & 2015-16 is prepared. The objectives include:

 To generate spatial database on land use / land cover for 2015-16

 To generate land use / land cover change database along with change

matrix with respect to 2011-12

 To identify areas of major change.

2.1 Classification Schema

The classification system amenable for use with remote sensor data varies with the objectives of the classification and the type of satellite data that is being used for the purpose and the nomenclature and definition of each of the categories finalized.

This hierarchical classification is primarily based upon the USGS Land Use and

Land Cover Classification using remote sensor data (Anderson, 1971).

27

Definitions

Land classification refers to systematic grouping of different land types based on similar characteristics. Land can be classified based on Physical determinants such as soil profile, sol texture and factors connected with environmental and agro- climatic conditions, besides the purpose for which it is being used. Land Cover classification considers biophysical characteristics, while attributes related to climate, soil, etc. is termed as Agro-climatic and Agro-Ecological Classification. Land

Use classification considers the functional use of land connected with socio- economic activities.

Built-Up Land

Built-up areas are characterized by substitution of the original (semi-) natural cover or water surface with an artificial, often impervious, cover. This artificial cover is usually characterized by long cover duration. (FAO, 2005). Basically they are the areas of human habitation that have a cover of buildings, transport and communication, utilities in association with water, vegetation and vacant lands. It consists of four level-2 classes namely – Urban built-up, Rural, Industrial and

Mining/Quarry.

Built up - Urban: Urban areas are non-linear built up areas covered by impervious structures adjacent to or connected by streets. Hence, all places with a , corporation or cantonment or which are notified town areas and all other places which satisfy the criteria of a minimum population of 5000, at least 75% of whose

28

male working population is non-agricultural and having a density of population of at least 400 sq. km. are placed under this category. It comprises three Level-3 classes as discussed below.

Built up - Compact (Continuous): Most of the land is covered by Buildings, roads and artificially surfaced area and cover almost all the ground. (CORINE 2000). The built up - compact class is assigned when the urban structures and transport network (i.e. impermeable surfaces) occupies more than 80 % of the surface area.

Like Parking lots, concrete or asphalt surfaces; Transport network; Small squares, pedestrian zones, yards; urban greenery areas etc.

2.3.1.2 Built up - Sparse (Discontinuous) : Most of the land is covered by the structures like buildings, roads and artificially surfaced areas associated with vegetated areas and bare soil, which occupy discontinuous but significant surfaces.

(CORINE 2000). Between 30 and 80 % of the total surface should be impermeable.

This also includes: Scattered blocks of residential flats, hamlets, small villages where numerous interstitial spaces (gardens, lawns) can be distinguished; Large blocks of flats where green spaces, parking areas and adventure playgrounds cover significant surface area; Transport network, sport area, cemeteries with or without vegetation; and Urban residential layouts marked for the construction of residential houses.

Vegetated / Open Area: These are vegetated areas within urban agglomeration

(situated within or in contact with urban areas). A polygon will be included in this category if vegetation cover of trees, shrubs and herbs covers at least 5% of the

29

total surface area. This also includes: Parks, sport and leisure facilities, camping grounds, sports grounds, leisure parks, golf courses, race courses, including formal parks etc.

Built-Up Area - Rural :The classification is based on the proportion of people living settlements defined as rural(below 10,000 population) or living in certain hubs and which is more than 80% of the people are involved in the primary activity of agriculture. All the agricultural villages covering 5 hectares area and more are included in this category.

Industrial : Non-linear impervious surfaces are included in this class which is related to trade, manufacturing, distribution and commerce. (FAO, 1995) and are not occurring in continuity with urban cover.

Industrial area: All the areas that are described above except for the areas under ash / cooling / tailing pond, which are characterized by water saturation, are classified under this category. These are artificially surfaced areas (with concrete, asphalt, tar macadam, or stabilized, e.g. beaten earth) without vegetation, which also contains buildings and/or vegetation. These are areas where the human activity is observed in the form of manufacturing along with other supporting establishments of maintenance. Heavy metallurgical industry, thermal, cement, petrochemical, engineering plants, etc and Urban built-up areas with units equal or larger than 2.25 ha inside commercial/industrial units.

30

Ash / Cooling / effluent pond & other waste: These are the portions of industry which are used for temporary storage of ash, contaminated soil, rubble, cooling of hot water or tailing pond associated with industry. The areas where industrial waste is permanently kept and Lands which have been deteriorated due to a large scale industrial effluent discharge; and Accumulated waste debris after extraction of required minerals.

Mining / Quarry : Mining / quarry areas encompass the area under surface operations. The recognizable impacts of these activities on the landscape are unmistakable giant pit mines covering vast areas. The presence of water bodies does not necessarily imply inactive or unused extractive areas; ponds or lakes are often an integral part of an extractive operation. (USGS, 1999). This also includes:

Industrial complexes where the extracted material is refined, packaged or further processed; Open-pit extraction often associated with heaps of extracted building material (gravel, sand, stone or clays) or ore and non-ore mineral material (iron, manganese ores, magnetite, lignite, brown coal, kaolin, etc.).

Mining - Active: These are the areas where large scale surface operations of removal of economically important ores are presently going on.

Mining - Abandoned : These are the areas where large scale surface operations of removal of economically important ores are carried out in the past, but presently kept abandoned due to various reasons like economic, operational, viability, disturbances etc.

31

Quarry : These are manifestations of surface mining operations where in small scale excavation of land surface for sand, gravel, clay phosphate mines, limestone quarries etc. are taking place. They are mostly characterized by its nearness to urban areas. This also includes Surface rocks and stone quarries, sand and gravel pits, brick kilns, etc.

Agricultural Land

These are the lands primarily used for agriculture for production of food, fiber, and other commercial and horticultural crops. It includes land under crops (irrigated and unirrigated, fallow, plantations, etc.). In a broad sense, agricultural lands may be defined as those lands which are cultivated to produce food crops and related activities. Native vegetation has largely been replaced by introduced species through clearing, and sowing of new species. Under this, four Level-2 classes are included namely cropland, fallow land, agricultural plantation and aquaculture.

Cropland : These are the areas with standing crop as on the date of satellite overpass. Cropped areas appear in bright red to red in color with varying shape and size in a contiguous to non-contiguous pattern. Three cropping seasons exist in

India viz., kharif (June/July - September/October), rabi (November/ December -

February/March) and zaid (April- May).

Kharif Crop :These are cultivated between June/July to September/October coinciding with SW monsoon season. It is associated with rain-fed crops under dry

32

land farming with limited or no irrigation and areas of rain-fed paddy and other dry crops.

Rabi Crop: These areas are cultivated between November / December to February

/ March. It is associated with areas under assured irrigation irrespective of the source of irrigation. However, rabi cropped areas also occur in rain-fed regions, under residual soil moisture conditions especially in black soil areas with high rainfall during Kharif season.

Zaid Crop : These are the areas that are cropped April - May (summer) which are mostly associated with irrigated areas with fertile soils, confined to plains/delta areas. Note: While classifying areas under kharif/rabi/zaid, proir knowledge about the area, ground data, crop calendar of the area and interaction with local officials shall be there.

Cropped in 2 seasons:

These are the areas that are cropped during two cropping seasons that are often seen associated with irrigated areas. Three combinations are possible in this category viz., Kharif + Rabi, Kharif + Zaid and Rabi + Zaid. Kharif and Rabi cropped areas. These are the areas mostly in command areas and have two crops grown in kharif and rabi seasons Kharif and summer season.

Cropped in more than 2 seasons : These are the areas which are cropped in more than two cropping seasons. It includes triple cropped areas (kharif, rabi and zaid),

33

areas under multiple cropping. Long duration crops like sugarcane, cotton, banana, pineapple etc., need to be considered classifying under this category.

Fallow Land : These are the lands, which are taken up for cultivation but are temporarily allowed to rest, un-cropped for one or more season, but not less than one year and for not more than five years.

Agricultural Plantation: These are the areas under agricultural tree crops planted adopting agricultural management techniques. These also include the areas of land use systems and practices wherein cultivation of herbs, shrubs, and vegetable crops are deliberately integrated with agricultural crops mostly in irrigated conditions for ecological and economic reasons. Permanent commercial crops: coffee, mulberry, tea, rubber etc., which are normally grown in the hilly regions and are closely associated with forest cover; Plantations of berry shrubs, raspberries, gooseberries, blackberry crops etc.

Aquaculture: These are the areas where fish and shrimps are bred and reared for commercial purposes. Aquaculture ponds are located mostly along the coast or in lakes, river and estuaries. This also includes: Breeding and rearing of fresh water or marine fish in captivity.

Forest

The term forest is used to refer to land with a tree canopy cover of more than 10 percent and area of more than 0.5 ha. Forest is determined both by the presence of trees and the absence of other predominant land uses within the notified forest

34

boundaries. The trees should be able to reach a minimum height of 5 m (MOEF,

2011) within the notified forest boundaries. This also includes: Forest stands on agricultural lands (e.g. windbreaks and shelterbelts of trees with a width of more than 20 m).

Evergreen/Semi-Evergreen: This term as such describes the phonology of perennial plants that are never entirely without green foliage (Ford-Robertson, 1971).

This category comprises tall trees, which predominantly remain green throughout the year. It includes both coniferous and tropical broadleaved evergreen species.

Semi- evergreen is a forest type that includes a combination of evergreen and deciduous species with the former dominating the canopy cover. Delineation of two sub-categories is possible using satellite data under level III viz., dense/ closed and open, based on the canopy cover/ density.

Dense/Closed : This category includes all areas where the canopy cover/density is more than 40 %.

Open : This category includes all the forest areas where the canopy cover/density ranges between 10 and 40 per cent.

Deciduous (Moist/Dry/Thorn): This applies to the phonology of perennial plants that are leafless for a certain period of the year (Ford-Robertson, 1971). The leaf shedding usually takes place simultaneously in connection with the unfavorable season (UNESCO, 1973). This category is predominantly composed of species, which shed their leaves once a year, especially during summer. These are mostly

35

broad leaved tropical forests with a tendency to shed their leaves annually.

Delineation of two sub-categories is possible using satellite data under level III viz., dense/ closed and open, based on the canopy cover/ density.

Dense/Closed: This category includes all the areas where the canopy cover/density is more than 40 %.

Open: This category includes all the forest areas where the canopy cover/density ranges between 10 and 40 per cent.

Forest Plantation: These are the areas of tree species of forestry importance, raised and managed especially in the notified forest areas. Most of these are located in uplands, coastal areas within notified areas. Many of these can be identified based on the sharp boundary exhibited by them. This also includes: Teak,

Sal, Eucalyptus, Casuarinas, Bamboo, etc.

Scrub Forest : These are the forest areas which are generally seen at the fringes of dense forest cover and settlements, where there is biotic and abiotic interference.

Most times, they are located closer to habitations. Forest blanks which are the openings amidst forest areas, devoid of tree cover, observed as openings of assorted size and shapes as manifested on the imagery are also included in this category.

Swamp / mangrove : These are the areas with the plants evergreen in nature, halophytic, dense or woody in nature, occurring along tidal waters/creeks, estuaries and along the delta in coastal areas. They are densely colonized in coastal on tidal

36

flats, estuaries, salt marshes, etc. Delineation of two sub-categories is possible using satellite data under level III viz., dense/ closed and open, based on the canopy cover/ density.

Dense/Closed : This category includes all the areas where the canopy cover/density is more than 40%.

Open : This category includes all the forest areas where the canopy cover/density range between 10 and 40 percent.

Tree Clad Area : Areas with tree cover lying outside the notified forest area with woody perennial plant with a single, well-defined stem carrying a more-or-less- defined crown and being at least 3 m tall. Plants essentially herbaceous but with a woody appearance (e.g. bamboos and ferns) are also classified as trees if the height is more than 5 m and as shrubs if the height is less than 5 m. Delineation of two sub-categories is possible using satellite data under level III viz., dense/ closed and open, based on the canopy cover/ density.

Dense/Closed: This category includes all the areas where the canopy cover/density is more than 40%.

Open : This category includes all the forest areas where the canopy cover/density ranges between 10 and 40 per cent.

Grassland & Grazing Land : These areas are described as the natural potential

(climax) plant cover as being composed of principally native grasses, Forbes and

37

shrubs. .This category includes grassland, shrub and brush land and mixed

Rangeland (USGS). Located in plains, uplands, and hill-slopes or close to rivers/ streams, they are associated with agricultural lands, dry lands fenced from cultivation, riverbeds and forested areas in high altitudes.

Wastelands

Wasteland is described as degraded land which can be brought under vegetative cover with reasonable effort and which is currently underutilized and land which is deteriorating for lack of appropriate water and soil management or on account of natural causes. Wastelands can result from inherent/imposed disabilities such as by location, environment, chemical and physical properties of the soil or financial or management constraints.

Salt-Affected Land : When salts more soluble than calcium carbonate and gypsum are present in the soil and effect crop and yield of most crops, these soils are considered salt effected. Salinization can result from improper management of canal irrigation water resulting in the rise of water table and consequent accumulation of salts in the root zone in arid, semi-arid and sub humid (dry) conditions and ingress of sea water in coastal regions and/or use of high-salt containing ground water.

Gullied / Ravinous Land : Gullies and ravines are formed as a result of localized surface run-off affecting the unconsolidated material resulting in the formation of perceptible channels causing undulating terrain. Gullies develop from rills which are

38

tiny water channels with a few centimeters deep, formed as a resultant impact of heavy rainfall and wearing action of run-off generated there from.

Gullied land: A narrow steep sided channel formed in loose earth by running water.A gully is usually dry except after periods of heavy rainfall. If rills are neglected and the erosion continues for a long time, it develops into gullies. They are commonly found in sloping lands, developed as a result of concentrated run-off over fairly long time.

Ravenous Land : The word ravine is usually associated not with an isolated gully but an intricate network of gullies formed generally in deep alluvium and entering a nearby river, flowing much lower than the surrounding. Ravines are basically extensive systems of gullies developed along the river course.

Scrub Land: This land, is generally prone to deterioration due to erosion. Such lands generally occupy topographically high locations, excluding hilly/ mountainous terrain. Scrublands are associated with moderate slopes in plains and foot hills, and are generally surrounded by agricultural plantations

Dense Scrub: These areas possess shallow and skeletal soils, at times chemically degraded, extremes of slopes, severely eroded and lands subjected to excessive aridity with scrubs dominating the landscape. They have a tendency for intermixing with cropped areas.

39

Open Scrub: This category has a similar description as mentioned in the earlier class excepting that they possess sparse vegetation or devoid of scrub and have a thin soil cover.

Sandy Area: These are the areas that have stabilized accumulation of sand, in coastal, riverine or inland areas, that can be either desertic or coastal. They appear as white to light yellow/ bluish depending on moisture content and at times.

Desertic sand: Desertic sands are those confined to arid environment where the rainfall is scanty. These lands are characterized by accumulation of sand developed in situ or transported by Aeolian processes.

Coastal sand: Coastal sands are the sands that are accumulated as a strip along the sea-coast. Very high reflectance exhibited by this category especially in the NIR region of the spectrum enable their separation with the salt affected land.

Riverine sand: Riverine sands are those that are seen as accumulations in the flood plain as sheets which are the resultant phenomena of river flooding. The sandy areas occurring within or in continuity to river course are to be excluded from this category.

Barren/Rocky/Stony Waste: This class contains areas that are either dominated by a continuous rock surface or covered by a coarse rock fragments. Rock surface is continuous with some areas may be covered by shallow layer of soil.

40

Wetland

All submerged or water-saturated lands, natural or man-made, inland or coastal, permanent or temporary, static or dynamic which necessarily have a land-water interface are defined as wetlands. Hence, the portions of water body (partial or full) having emergent vegetation or observable submerged vegetation is placed in the

Wetlands category. (USGS, 1999).

Wetland - Inland: Areas flooded or liable to flooding during the great part of the year by fresh, brackish or standing water with specific vegetation coverage made of low shrub, semi-ligneous or herbaceous species. It includes water-fringe vegetation of lakes, rivers, and brooks and of fens marshes etc. (CORINE 2000).

Wetland - Inland - Natural : These are the areas that include ox-bow lakes, cut-off meanders, playas, swamp, marsh, peat bogs etc (with vegetation).

Wetland - Inland - Manmade : Waterlogged areas (seasonal and perennial) created due to negative effect of human management practices and are present with vegetation.

Wetland - Coastal : These are the areas which are submerged by high tides at some stage of the annual tidal cycle. Non-wooded areas tidally, seasonally or permanently waterlogged with brackish or saline water (CORINE 2000). This includes: Estuaries, lagoons, creek, backwater, bay, tidal flat/mud flat, sand/beach, coral reef, rocky coast, mangrove, salt marsh/marsh with vegetation and other hydrophytic vegetation

41

Lagoon, creeks, mud flats etc.,: These include estuaries, lagoons, creek, backwater, bay tidal flat/mud flat, mangrove, salt marsh/marsh with vegetation and other hydrophytic vegetation

Saltpans: Saltpans are flat expanses of areas covered with salt usually white under the Sum. Saltpans are manmade saline ecosystem from which crude salt is extracted during summer. These are undrained, usually small and shallow, natural depression or hollow in which brackish water accumulates and evaporates leaving behind salt deposits.

Water Body

This category comprises areas with surface water, either impounded in the form of ponds, lakes and reservoirs or flowing as streams, rivers, canals etc. These are seen clearly on the satellite image in blue to dark blue or cyan color depending on the depth of water. If lake or reservoir is a part of river system, then the boundary demarcation between streams and lakes / reservoirs or the ocean can be the straight line across the mouth of the stream.

River /Stream: Rivers/streams are natural course of water flowing on the land surface along a definite channel/slope regularly or intermittently towards a sea in most cases or a lake or an inland basin in desert areas or a marsh or another river.

Perennial : These are the rivers/streams that flow continuously throughout the year.

42

Non Perennial: The water covers the surface for less than nine months in each year (FAO, 2005). This also includes the dry part of river generally characterized by the presence of sand or exposed rocks.

Canal / Drain: Canals and drains are artificial water course constructed for irrigation, navigation or to drain out excess water from agricultural lands

Lakes / Ponds: These are accumulation of water in a depression of various sizes either natural or saline. Areas of tailings and abandoned pits and quarries may remain recognizable for a long time due to presence of water is to be classified under this category.

Permanent: Perennial lakes/ponds are those that retain water in them either for more than one season (usually more than three months of a year, FAO, 2005) or throughout the year and usually not subjected to extreme fluctuation in water level.

Ponds are body of water limited in size, either natural or artificial, regular in shape, smaller in size than a lake, generally located near settlement.

Seasonal: This category includes the above areas except that they remain dry either partially or totally throughout the year.

Reservoir / Tanks: Reservoir is an artificial lake created by construction of a dam across the river specifically for hydel power generation, irrigation, and water supply for domestic/ industrial needs, flood control, either singly or in combination. Tanks are small lakes of impounded water ways constructed on land surface for irrigation.

43

They are associated with croplands, low lands and reservoirs surrounded by hills without vegetation

Permanent: This includes all reservoirs/tanks with water spread seen at least during one season in a year (usually more than three months of a year, FAO, 2005)

Seasonal: Dry reservoirs/tanks are those, which do not have water spread throughout the year.

Shifting Cultivation

Shifting cultivation is the name we use for agricultural systems that involve an alternation between cropping for a few years on selected and cleared plots and a lengthy period when the soil is rested. Cultivation consequently shifts within an area that is otherwise covered by natural vegetation. (Ruthenberg, 1980).

Current: These are the areas that are used for cultivation by the process mentioned above which are clearly perceptible on the satellite image that are in pre-burnt

/post-burnt condition.

Abandoned: These are the areas that were under shifting cultivation, left idle for more than one year but less than 5 years thereby giving a scope for the regeneration of secondary vegetation, especially bamboo or grasses. This category has a tendency to get mixed with forested areas.

2.2 Slope Map of the District

The concept of measuring slope from a topographic map is a familiar one for most professionals in the natural resources and landscape planning / management and surveying professions. Slope is a measurement of how steep the ground surface is. Steeper the ground surface is, greater is the slope. Slope is measured by calculating the tangent of the surface. The tangent is calculated by dividing the vertical change in elevation by the horizontal distance. Slope is normally expressed in planning as a percent slope which is the tangent (slope) multiplied by 100. Percent Slope = Height / Base * 100

Reliable estimation of the stability of slopes and foundations is very demanding because it is important for terrain analysis to understand the natural process in the disciplines of topography, geology, soils, hydro-geology, infrastructure planning, hazard management both at surface and subsurface. In view of this, slope plays an important role while doing decentralized planning at grassroots level. Traditionally contours information from 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 topographic maps are used for preparation of slope by manual procedures based contour value difference for unit horizontal distance. The emergence of remote sensing & GIS systems and the availability of topographic data in DEM or TIN formats, slope maps can be generated using image processing and GIS methods. Representation of slope in percentage is an understandable rationale for the resource mapping and planning. Slope information is one of the GIS layers that play an important role in natural resources and district planning process. It is proposed to generate the necessary slope layer from the available digital topographic data such as Carto DEM and open source Digital Elevation Model data (NRSC, 2009).

From Fig. 9, it is observed that majority of the District is covered with level to nearly level slope. Moderately sloping areas are observed in parts of Meliaputti, Pathapatnam and Seetampeta mandals. Strongly sloping and very steeply sloping

45

areas are seen in Meliaputti mandal. Very gently sloping areas are observed in Rajam, Veeraghatam and Vangara mandals.

Fig: 9 General Slope of Srikakulam District, Andhra Pradesh

.Slope map is generated from DEM using GIS techniques produces triangular nature slope polygon. To generate meaningful slope layer, it is suggested to aggregate slope polygons by using manual procedures. However, the slope generated from GIS analysis can be used directly for any decision-making planning purpose. The accuracy of the slope is dependent on accuracy of the DEM used for slope generation. The DEM should a bare earth and should not have spikes or dips which are common in automatic DEM generation. Therefore, to use Carto DEM, conversion to bare earth DEM has to be carried out before slope layer generation.

2.3 Forest Cover Distribution

The forest cover in the district based on the interpretation of IRS R2 LISS III data (2015-16) is 642.37 sq. km which is 11.0% of the total geographical area (TGA) of the district. As per the land use manual (NRSC 2016), the forests of the district can be classified into 8 forest classes and class-wise areas are presented in Table-4 The spatial distribution of forest cover in the district is shown in Figure-10

3. Agriculture and Soil Resources

Endowed with a rich variety of soils, the district occupies an important place in agriculture which is the most important occupation and paddy is the main food crop produced. According to agricultural census 2012-13, the gross cropped area of the district was 7.01 Lakh Hects of which gross irrigated area was 3.63 lakh Hects. While 2011-12 the gross cropped area of the district was 7.26 Lakh Hects of which gross irrigated area was 3.75 lakh Hects (DES, 2015). Three types of soils viz., 1. Black soil which constitutes 57.6% of the villages, 2. Sandy Clay-loams with 22.3% and 3. Red loamy with 19.4% of the villages, are prevalent in this District, while small sandy soils constitute 0.7% along the fringes of the seacoast.

The role of Agricultural Sector in District Economy is very significant. However, out of 47.36% of Main Workers in the District Population 32.14 % Cultivators and Agricultural Labours are still dependent on Agriculture. Agriculture in Srikakulam district is mostly Rainfall dependent. Monsoon and Seasonal conditions play a major role in the Agriculture Production.During the year 2017-18, the South- West Monsoon Period, the district received deficit rainfall with negative deviation of -15.3% against Normal. However, North-East Monsoon Rainfall was Scanty Deviation by –37.2%. As compared to Normal, the overall Rainfall for the year was

48

978.1 mm as against the District Normal of 1162.5 mm there by showing deficit of – 15.8%. The Net area sown in the District during 2017-18 is 2, 84,644 hectares as against 3, 21,892 hectares in 2017-18 a decrease of 11.57%.

Remote sensing technology has been successfully used by APSAC during the last two decades in the areas of agriculture both in spatial and temporal domain under various projects. APSAC carried out in-season forecasting of acreage for major crops i.e. Kharif rice, Rabi rice, cotton, groundnut etc, at state/ district level for the last two decades in Andhra Pradesh to enable the administrators and planners to take strategic decisions on import-export policy matters and trade negotiations. Rice and Cotton are the most dominant crops in Andhra Pradesh in both seasons. In this connection, Department of Agriculture and Directorate of Economics & Statistics are generating data on conventional methods for estimation of crop area and production. In this regard, satellite remote sensing plays a pivotal role with limited field visits for timely for estimation and monitoring the crops.

3.1 Kharif Rice Estimation using SAR data

Andhra Pradesh Space Applications Centre (APSAC) has carried out Kharif rice crop acreage estimation over Srikakulam district using Microwave Remote Sensing (Sentinel-1A) data under FASAL project. Sentinel-1A Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) VV polarization data (Spatial Resolution 20m) is used for the analysis. The rice acreage using sentinel-1 microwave remote sensing data for Srikakulam district was estimated as 1,87,846 ha.

3.2 Soil Resource of Srikakulam District

The predominant soils in Srikakulam district are red soils, red loams, sandy loams, sandy soils, black soils and alluvial soils. Fig.12. Red soils which are derived from the weathering of khondalites and gneissic rocks occur mostly along hill slopes. The narrow valleys and low lying areas between the hills are also covered with red loamy soils. Sandy soils are seen occurring in the southern and eastern parts of the district. The deltaic alluvial soil is seen distributed along the banks of the rivers Vamsadhara, Nagavalli and their tributaries. The coastal alluvial soils are seen in the coastal tracts of the district in parts of Ichapuram, Sompeta and Tekkali area. The red sand and lateritic soils are mostly distributed throughout the district.

3.3 Horticulture:

Under the horticulture mission, efforts are being made to promote the main crops, including cashew, mango and coconut plantations on a massive scale in the district. Apart from paddy, the district has cashew, mango and coconut as the horticulture plantations. Cashew plantations are spread in 25,500 hectares, mango in 9,261 hectares and coconut in 15000 hectares in the district.

Besides, vegetables, chillies, onions and leafy vegetables form a small chunk of horticulture crops. The total extent of horticulture crops is around 60,000 hectares in the district. Being rain-fed and dependent only on monsoon, cropping pattern and varieties in the district are typical and farmers depend on alternative horticulture crops for supplementing their income. Most of the small and marginal farmers are cultivating commercial crops like cashew, mango, coconut and vegetables by taking advantage of the subsidies.

Small and marginal farmers are being benefited in view of their commercial nature and huge demand in the market both within the State and outside while cashew is being exported abroad. The Department of Horticulture is also promoting vermiculture in a big way.

4 Coastal Resources and Aquaculture in Srikakulam District

4.1 Shoreline Change status of Srikakulam District

The shoreline change estimation was carried out for the entire Srikakulam coast which is about 167.65 km in length. In this study, shorelines were extracted from satellite images for 1989, 1999, 2005, 2010 and 2012 by visual interpretation.

As a result of the analyses, the most significant changes were observed at Srikakulam Coast. Summary statistics for the rate of change is given in Table 11. The study observes both erosion and accretion in isolated pockets all along the coast. The analysis discovered that about 56.87% of the coastlines were under accretion, whereas remaining 5.64% region was experiencing varying erosion and 37.49% of the coast has stable form. While near the vamsadhara river mouth, north side of tekkali creek and vallabharayapadu to seemuru beach is noticed with high accretion and north side of nagavalli river mouth area and vamsadhara mouth area has most erosion area found.

4.2 Aquaculture in Srikakulam District

Using high resolution satellite data coupled with ground survey existing aquaculture sites, potential areas for aquaculture development and abandoned aquaculture regions are mapped in all coastal Districts of Andhra Pradesh and mandal-wise/ village-wise area statistics are calculated. In Andhra Pradesh, Srikakulam district has one of the least Aquaculture areas distributed along Vamshadara, Nagavali Rivers, Tekkali creek and other rivers, streams and drains. It is observed that 560.73 ha aquaculture, 3070.55 ha abandoned/dry/ potential, 130.47 ha Saltpan area is occupied. In Srikakulam district, highest aquaculture area is distributed in Santhabommali Mandal i.e. 171.55ha. aquaculture, 425.25ha. Abandon/dry/potential, and 129.57 ha area Saltpans distributed and least is in Ranastalam mandal i.e. 15.16 ha aquaculture/dry/abandoned and potential area distributed. (APSAC, 2017b).

5.1.1 Major and Medium Irrigation Projects in Srikakulam District

Irrigation has assumed an increasing significance in agriculture in the context of new technology, where high yielding varieties and multiple cropping are being practiced. The main reasons for low yields are inadequate rainfall, uneven and uncertain rains during the period of crop growth. It is generally found that the introduction of irrigation is associated with changes in the cropping pattern. The shift from traditional cropping pattern to the most advantageous cropping pattern is possible only in the presence of irrigation facilities. The new agricultural technology is highly based on sufficient moisture conditions. Thus, the development of irrigation is crucial for increasing agricultural production. The irrigation projects are classified as major, medium and minor irrigation projects. River Basins in Srikakulam District

Srikakulam district is covered by minor rivers which directly join the Bay of

Bengal. Bahuda, Mahendratanaya, Pundi Minor, Noupada Minor Drainages,

Vamsadhara, Nagavali, Peddagedda and Kandivalasagedda are the minor basins are covered in the district. These 8 minor-basins are further divided into 67 sub- basins subsequently divided into 671 cascades. The catchment area of each basin is delineated using the boundaries from master plan records and updated by

61

superimposing on Survey of India toposheet (1:50K). The sub basins are suitably subdivided into cascades based on local drainage conditions. The number of sub basins, cascades and tanks within the minor basin is given in the Table: 13

5.1.2 Major Irrigation Project

The Srikakulam district is served with both surface and ground water irrigation sources. Major and medium irrigation projects exist in the district. The total net area irrigated is 191662 ha by means of all sources of irrigation available in the district.The Gross area irrigated by all sources during the year 2015-16 is 2,11,772 hectares and accounted for 51.80% of the Gross cropped area. The completed Major Irrigation Projects in the district are

1.B R R Vamsadhara Project Stage- 1:

B.R.R. Vamsadhara Project Stage-I envisages construction of Barrage across the River Vamsadhara at Gotta (V) in Hiramandalam (M) of Srikakulam District to irrigate an ayacut of 1,48,230 acres in 398 villages of 12 Mandals with Left Main Canal for a length of 104.24 Km. and 68 Nos. of distributaries. The project was taken up in 1970 and water was first let out for irrigation in 1977.

62

2.Narayana puram Anicut Scheme:

The Narayanapuram Anicut across Nagavali River was constructed during the period 1959-1963 in Narayanapuram village of Burja Mandal to Irrigate an ayacut of 39,179 Acres, through left and right main canals in Burja, Amdalavalasa, Srikakulam, Gara Santhakaviti, Ponduru and Etcherla Mandals of Srikakulam District. The Right Canal is running for a length of 50.6Km and distributaries running for a length of 162.00 Km to Irrigate an ayacut of 18,362 Acres in Santakaviti, Ponduru, Etcherela, Amdalavalasa and Srikakulam Mandal. The left canal is running for a length of 39.00 Km to irrigate an ayacut of 18691 Acres.

The existing Thotapalli regulator is the first diversion work on river Nagavali, which was constructed with RR masonry during the year 1907-1908. The Thotapalli old regulator consisting of mainly the following components: 1. Nagvali Left Main canal of length 37.626 Km with 8 branch canals and distributory system was executed during the year 1908-1934 including construction of CM & CD works with RR masonry in Surki mortar to feed an ayacut of 31200 acres. 2. Nagavali Right main canal of length 20.016 Km with 11 branch canals and distributory system was executed during the year 1934-1958 including construction of CM & CD works with RR masonry in surki mortar to feed an ayacut of 9000 acres. 3. 9 open head channels on left side of river to feed an ayacut of 10606 acres and 5 nos open head channels on right side river to feed an ayacut of 13194 Acres. As such the total ayacut being irrigated under the above regulatory system is 64000 Acres. It became old and showing signs of deterioration. It is proposed to construct a barrage near Thotapalli village across Nagavali River at about 500 mts U/S of existing Thotapalli regulator in order to save the existing ayacut of 64000 Acres and to irrigate additional ayacut of 120000 Ac in Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts including drinking water supply in 24 villages en-route the proposed Right Main canal.

5.1.3 Medium Irrigation Project

Gorle Sriramulunaidu Madduvalasa Reservoir Project

Madduvalasa Reservoir Project is a Medium Irrigation Project which envisages formation of Reservoir across river Suvarnamukhi, a tributary of Nagavali River. The project is intended to serve an ayacut of 24,700 acres in 6 Mandals in Srikakulam District under Stage I. (which was completed in the year 2002 and water is being supplied to the contemplated ayacut.)

Additional water requirement to Irrigate 12,500 Acres in stage II was calculated as per modified Penman method is 0.862 TMC and the total requirement is arrived as 4.730 TMC for entire ayacut will be within the limits of yield allocated by C.W.C. to Madduvalasa Project i.e. 4.960 T.M.C. It is proposed to create an additional ayacut of 12,500 acres duly extension of Right Main Canal for 5.00 KM distance and excavation of 2 distributaries, benefiting 4 Mandals i.e. G.Sigadam(1395 Acres), Ponduru (4,933 Acres), Laveru(5010 Acres) and Etcherla(1075 Acres) total 12,500 Acres.

Offshore Reservoir Scheme on River Mahendratanaya:

Mahendratanaya River is a tributary to the Vamsadhara River. The Mahendratanaya River takes its origin near Tuparasingi (V) in Odissa State. The river Mahendratanaya travels 27 km in the state of Andhra Pradesh and joins Vamsadhara River at about 4 km above the Gotta Barrage at Gulumuru village. Out of 27 km, the river flows 19 km in Andhra Pradesh and about 8 km as common boundary between Andhra Pradesh & Odissa.

The basin has a total drainage area of 1233 Sq.km till its confluence with Vamsadhara River. The Catchment Area is mostly hilly. The basin receives abundant supply under the influence of both the South-West and North-East monsoons with an average annual rainfall being 1126 mm (47'). Rainfall in this Catchment is erratic and high peaks of discharge occur for a few days in the monsoon period accounting for substantial part of the yield during the sub peaks. For effective utilization of the water, it is proposed to divert the flows in to a diversion channel,

64

taking off from the River near Chapara Village of Meliaputti Mandal in Srikakulam District.

The Mahendratanaya River flows through a very backward region in Orissa and Andhra Pradesh states. The development of irrigation under this river is very meager till its confluence with Vamsadhara River.

There are no Inter State Agreements on utilization of water in Mahendratanaya River and there are no restrictions to utilize the share of water in the Vamsadhara basin.

However, for beneficially utilizing the waters in Vamsadhara Basin, the States of Orissa and Andhra Pradesh agreed in 1962 that the yield of the river at Gotta barrage will be about 115 TMC and that these waters shall be shared on half and half basis

5.1.4 Tank Information System

In srikakulam district according to the Master Plan records (1973-2001) and hydrological clearance data (upto 2011) of I & CAD department, there are 7181 tanks including 13 kalvas. NIRD study report (< 40 ha) on irrigation tanks in Andhra

Pradesh (2007) lists 7689 tanks, while the Survey of India toposheets (1988-89) show

8604 tanks.

68

Andhra Pradesh Space Application Centre developed a Web Portal GIS for Tank Information System (TIS) in Andhra Pradesh. The tanks were updated with high resolution satellite data of 2009-10 which shows that there are 10095 tanks including 71 check dams and 06 medium irrigation projects. The tank-wise information is like location details, hydrological details and other standard information related to the tank is published. In the said web portal, minor irrigation tanks are classified as more than 40 ha. 10 to 40 ha. and less than 10 ha command. Information pertaining to nearly 15,000 tanks existing in Andhra Pradesh has been published in the APSAC website and information realted to 2897 tanks in Srikakulam district has so far been published (248 tanks >40ha. and 2338 tanks 10 to 40 ha )in the website.

The Eastern Ghats Super Group on the east coast of India is a largely granulite terrain but also exposes granites, migmatites, anorthosites and alkaline rocks. This granulite belt has had a prolonged history of mountain building from late Archaean to late Proterozoic. During this long period, the Eastern Ghats mobile belt witnessed repeated folding and possibly polycyclic metamorphism. Some recent findings suggest breaks between orogenic cycles and a proterozoic reworking of Archaean granulites. Extreme-temperature crustal metamorphism under fluid-absent conditions and crustal anatexis in huge thickness of pelitic to psammitic protoliths producing leptynites are some of the important results of recent investigations of the Eastern Ghats mobile belt. Different generations of charnockites are present in the Eastern Ghats belt, but charnockitisation of granitic gneisses is yet to be documented.

5.2.2 Mineral Resources of Srikakulam District

Srikakulam district is one of the backward districts in the State prior to the bifurcation of the district into Srikakulam and Vizianagaram. The district was the one among the contributing districts in the country for manganese ore. But due to bifurcation, all the important mineral resources like manganese ore, quartz, graphite, lime kankar presently fall in . But to compensate this loss unique blue granite deposits have come to light in the 1990 and presently this district forms one among the important districts contributing a turn over of crores of rupees every year in the field of granites. Due to its close proximity to , the transport cost of the raw material is considerably reduced. These granites are able to compete in international market (Fig.18). The details of economic deposits and their occurrences village - wise are given.

72

Fig.18 Mineral Resource of Srikakulam District, Andhra Pradesh-Source: GSI, 2000

Black sands:

Kalingapatnam Naupada and Sompeta Black sand are seen with in the ilmenite sands that occur in an area over a stretch of 11 Kms. Ilmenite is used for extraction of Titanium. Monazite is a strategic mineral, associated with the Black beach sands, and as other minerals like garnet, rutile, Zircon and Pyroxene is used for extraction of Thorium

Manganese: The manganese belt is over 60 km long and 20 km wide. The ore is associated with talc-granulite and quartzite and is characterised by high iron and

Phosphorus. The deposits around Avagudem, Bangaruvalasa, Garraju, Chipurupalle and Baruva have sizeable reserves. It is used for Steel Industry, use of Catalyst, a rubber additive and used to decolourise glass.

73

Graphite: Rich disseminations of graphite are seen in Khondalite in the northwest and south. It generally occurs as disseminated flakes in gneiss, noticed near Paluru and southeast of Lakshmipur. The graphite is generally of low to medium grade with 10-30% carbon. It also occurs as pockets and stringers within Small quantities of graphite are exploited from the deposits near Dolemba. Used for pencil Industry , refractries , Chemical Industries and Ayurvedic medicine.

Clay: Moderately plastic, silty clay occurring in tank beds is used for manufacturing tiles and drainage pipes. A tile factory using tank mud is located near Jamunarayanapuram used for Ceramic and Refractory

Gypsum: Gypsum is a Common Mineral, with in the thick and extensive evaporate bedsin association with Sedimentary rock.Gypsum is the most common sulfate mineral.It is seen in the tidal flat clays at Kuppili in considerate amounts.

Silimanite: Silimanite mineral are mainlyutilised in the production of mullite or high alumina refractories.Used in the manufacturfe of metals, Glass Ceramic and Cement.

Khondalite: Khondalite is a foliated metamorphic rock. In India, it is also called Bezwada Gneiss and Kailasa Gneiss. It was named after the Khond tribe of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh because well-formed examples of the rock were found in the inhabited hills of these regions of eastern India.

Khondalite Rock Khondalite is quartz–manganese-rich garnet–rhodonite schist.. It may also contain sillimanite and graphite. Feldspar may occur in some cases. Khondalites are considered to be metasedimentary rocks formed during Archaean era. The

74

Eastern Ghat belt was faulted and buried. It was uplifted later, bringing these metamorphic rocks to the surface. Khondalites weather easily but still have been used in buildings and temples, for example, the Konark Sun Temple and Jagannath Temple.

Charnockite:

All charnockites were once thought to be igneous, but it is now recognized as

metamorphic, because, despite the high temperatures and pressures, the original protolith never actually melted. However, some orthopyroxene- bearing granites with distinct igneous features exist.

The term charnockite in this sense is consequently not the name of a rock, but of an assemblage of rock types. The assemblage is connected by origin, the differentiation of the same parent magma. The banded structure which these rocks commonly present in the field is only in a small measure due to plastic deformation, but is to a large extent original, and has been produced by flow in a viscous crystallizing intrusive magma, together with differentiation or segregation of the mass into bands of different chemical and mineralogical composition. There have also been, of course, earth movements acting on the solid rock at a later time and injection of dikes both parallel to and across the primary foliation.

Migmatite: Migmatite is a rock that is a mixture of metamorphic rock and igneous rock. It is created when a metamorphic rock such as gneiss partially melts, and then that melt recrystallizes into an igneous rock, creating a mixture of the unmelted metamorphic part with the recrystallized igneous. They can also be known as diatexite. Migmatites form under extreme temperature conditions during prograde metamorphism, where partial melting occurs in pre-existing rocks.

75

Migmatites are not crystallized from a totally molten material, and are not generally the result of solid-state reactions. Commonly, migmatites occur within extremely deformed rocks that represent the base of eroded mountain chains, typically within Precambrian cratonic blocks.

Migmatite textures are the product of thermal softening of the metamorphic rocks. Schlieren textures are a particularly common example of granite formation in migmatites, and are often seen in restite xenoliths and around the margins of S-type granites.

Ptygmatic folds are formed by highly plastic ductile deformation of the gneissic banding, and thus have little or no relationship to a defined foliation, unlike most regular folds. Ptygmatic folds can occur restricted to compositional zones of the migmatite, for instance in fine-grained shale protoliths versus in coarse granoblastic sandy protolith.

Quartz Vein Intrusives The intrusive include pegmatite and quartz veins. Definition: Pegmatites are often defined as very coarse-grained igneous rocks, usually of granitic composition, that tend to be enriched in normally rare elements such as lithium, beryllium,

76

tantalum, and others. Indeed, most pegmatites have granitic composition but pegmatites of basic, intermediate or alkaline rocks are also well known. Therefore, it is recommended that a modifier such as “granitic” is used to state clearly.

Metamorphism Metamorphism is the change of minerals or geologic texture (distinct arrangement of minerals) in pre-existing rocks (protoliths), without the protolith melting into liquid magma (a solid-state change). The change occurs primarily due to heat, pressure, and the introduction of chemically active fluids. The chemical components and crystal structures of the minerals making up the rock may change even though the rock remains a solid. Changes at or just beneath Earth's surface due to weathering or diagenesis are not classified as metamorphism.Metamorphism typically occurs between diagenesis (max. 200°C) and melting (~850°C) The upper boundary of metamorphic conditions is related to the onset of melting processes in the rock. The maximum temperature for metamorphism is typically 700 – 900 °C, depending on the pressure and on the composition of the rock. Migmatites are rocks formed at this upper limit, which contains pods and veins of material that has started to melt but has not fully segregated from the refractory residue. Since the 1980s it has been recognized that rocks are rarely dry enough and of a refractory enough composition to record without melting "ultra-high" metamorphic temperatures of 900 – 1100 °C

The eastern super group of rocks constitute the highly metamorphosed sector of the Precambrian belt of the India sealed. Rocks belong to Khondalite and Charnokite Groups have been metamorphosed under granulite faces of metamorphisim.

GRANITE DEPOSITS

A) Blue Granite:

Andhra Pradesh is fairly rich in natural resources of Various types of dimensional stones namely the GRANITE and its various other trade equivalents including black, coloured granites besides marble and others. In trade, granite includes many similar rocks namely diorite, gabbro, dolerite and gneiss etc., Dolerite is termed as “black granite" and gneissic rocks and other similar rocks are known as coloured granites. In this modern world, the usage of granite has increased in one place or the other like wall paneling, flooring, kitchen tops, table tops, sitout besides tomb stones and kurb stones. Andhra Pradesh can be considered to be a poineer in granite mining, cutting and polishing in the country.

Srikakulam district is endowed with coloured granite resources belonging to migmatite group of rocks. ln trade, these ganites are known as "SRIKAKULAM BLUE "Also, garnetiferous granulite which is white coloured studded with pink garnet is also exploited under trade name of "SRIKAKULAM WIITTE". Further, the district also has considerable PORPHYROBLASTIC GRANITE DEPOSITS occurring particularly in Vangara, Rajam, and G.Sigadam and mandals. The presence of euhedral feldspar phenocrysts ranging in size from 0.5 cm to 6 cm in length and with an average width of 1 cm to 3 cm in a ground mass of whitish grey and occassional dark grey looks beautiful after polishing and these deposits can be exploited and used for table tops, flooring, monuments and in making flower vases. However, presently no enterprenuer is venturing to work the deposit since the same needs to be introduced in the international market by way of display in the exhibitions, if necessary through the state owned A.P.M.D.C. The total extent of the granite bearing areas under exploitation in the district is about ten square kilometres mostly covering parts of Kotabommali, Tekkali and Saravakota mandals. In this district, at present, there are 173 leases for colour granite covering an area of

78

411 hectares. These deposits are in commercial exploitation from 1992 and so far (Upto December, 1997) 1,30,000 cubic meters of granite blocks have been produced by fetching a turnover of 191 crores of rupees and by way of seigniorage fee an amount of 11 crores of rupees has been collected.

TEKKALI MANDAL of Srikakulam district is endowed with fairly marketable Blue granite deposits occupying a number of hillocks spread over mainly in nine villages viz. Melisathivada, Lingalavalasa, Addukonda, Gudem, Polavaram, Tekkali, Mukhalingapuram, Ravivalasa and Pedasana where migmatite is an important rock unit of the charnockite group comprising various products of assimilation of gneiss and granulite resulting into various rock types such as hypersthene- biotite-gneiss quartzo felspathic gneiss with descrete grains of garnet and other opaque minerals. The rocks arc leucocratic (light coloured) to melanocratic (dark coloured) in colour, and equigranular with medium to coarse grained texture. The rocks are hard and compact. Quartzo felspathic gneiss is the predominent rock type occurring in the mandal and is bluish-grey in colour. The rock contains blue quartz, felspar, garnet, pyroxene, biotite mica, and other ferromagnesian minerals. The felsic and mafic minerals generally are aligned parallel to one another as bands following the general trend of N.E-S. W. The aligned bands show a wavy pattern giving a special appearance to the rock. The garnet grains arc red to pink in colour embedded within rock matrix of bluish grey ground and gives decorative appearance to the rock. There are six hillocks located in MEELISATHIVADA village covering survey numbers 27, 34, 70,73,112 and 117. Out of these the survey numbers 27, 34, and 73 occupy greater extent of granite deposit and rest of survey numbers occupy less extent of granite deposit. The hillock in survey number 27 produces dark blue granite which is useful for cut and dressed blocks. The total hillock is covered under leases. The hillocks in survey numbers 34, 70 and 112 also contain good boulders and sheet rock , but the granite leases granted in these survey numbers have been cancelled due to nonworking. As per the information obtained by the lease holders, it is learned that due to colour variation and presence of black paches (concentration of ferromagnesian minerals), the blocks could not find market. But such deposits can find local market if cutting and polishing industry is located nearer

79

to the quarry, whereby expenditure on transport of raw blocks can be minimised. Granite deposit in survey No. 73 yields good blocks. The total extent of the area is about 300acres. There is a scope of getting few more leases in this survey number.

In ADDUKONDA VILLAGE, there is a hill range extending for over a length of 5 km in N.E - S.W direction. The hill range covers a total area of 2310 acres out of which an extent of about 1310 ac., falls under Reserve Forest. At present, 25 leases have been granted and most of the leases are in operation. The material is light blue to dark blue in colour. The leases granted in the eastern end of the range yield light coloured granite blocks and the leases granted in the western part yield dark blue granite blocks. Monthly production of granite blocks from this area is about 400 cum.

In LINGALAVALSA village, granite bearing hillocks are located in survey numbers 68, 71, 153, 486, 493, 602, and 603, which cover a total extent of about 900 ac. The rock types in these survey numbers are medium to light blue in colour. Presently, the leases have been granted in survey nubers 71, 153, 486, 493 and 602 and good quality granite blocks are exploited from survey number 71. The granite blocks produced in other survey numbers are said to be defective and the quarry operations have been stopped temporarily. The leases granted in survey numbers

153 and 493 are still non -working and the material are said to be defective because of the presence of cracks, joints and patches of ferromagnesian minerals. In survey number 603 though there are a number of applications there is no exploitation of granite. The colour of the rock type is dark to medium blue. Presently, the leases granted in this village produce about 100 cum., of granite blocks per month.

The hill range in POLAVARAM village falls in survey number 102 and extends in NE- SW direction along Tekkali - Pathapatnam road. The rock type is granite gneiss and is dark blue in colour. The hillock falls under 'Reserve forest'. Since there is a good international market for this material the area can be dereserved from the preview of reserve forest, and alternative area can be alloted for forest purpose.

80

In Tekkali village, the granite bearing rocks are found in survey numbers 53, 135, and 125 covering a total extent of 374 ac., presently, leases granted in survey number 53 yield dark blue granite. There is a scope for the grant of new leases in this survey number. The survey numbers 135 and 125 occupy an area of 174 ac., consisting of big boulders of granite, dark to medium blue in colour. The leases granted in these survey numbers are non-working. There is a scope to grant some more leases in these survey numbers. The leases in survey number 53 produce 300 cum of granite per month.

In GUDEM village, granite bearing hillocks are located in survey numbers 171, 192 and 227. The leases granted in these survey numbers are operating well and produce dark blue coloured granite blocks. The survey numbers 171 and 227 come partly under Reserve Forest and partly under revenue division.

B. WHITE GRANITE :

In Saravakota mandal , occurrences of leptynite, commercially known as "white granite" are located at Kurmanadhapuram, Kommusariapalli, Govardhanapuram, Purushottakam, Waba and Konavanipeta villages. The description of deposits is furnished below:

White granite deposits are found in survey numbers 48, 87 and 101 of Kurmanadhapuram village. The main rock type is leptynite. This rock could be easily dressed and polished to yield a pleasing variety of white granite.

84

Similar rocks are also located in survey numbers 40,186,368 and 417 of Kommusariapalli village. There are two quarry lease applications filed for grant of white granite in survey numbers 186 and 417. These rocks consist of quartz and feldspar with scattered garnet grains giving a decorative appearance.

White granite deposits are also observed in survey number 1 of Govardhanapuram, where one revision application is pending and yet to be disposed off .

White coloured granite deposits are located in survey number 90 of Purushottakam; 334 of Waba, 98 and 126 of Pedalamba; 7 of Konnayapeta; 7 and 98 of Mugupuram and 282 of Konavanipeta villages.

Vangara mandal is known for white granite . The rock type is leptynite associated with porphyroblastic granite gneiss. The rocks are exposed as outcrops in cultivated fields as well as hillocks. The contact between gneiss and leptynite could not be delineated as it is concealed. The leptynite rock yields white granite and is quarried in survey number 179 of Jagannadhavalasa. The rock consists of quartz, and feldspar aligned parallel to one another with pink garnet grains embedded in the matrix in irregular pattern. The rock is hard and compact.

White granite occupies a hillock in survey numbers 177 and 132 of Neelayyavalasa and Jagannadhavalasa. Similar types of rocks are also observed in survey numbers 19,21,22,26 and 27 of Madduvalasa; 341 of Pattuvardhanam and 35,65,82,154 and 186 of Jagannadhavalasa village. These areas have been covered under quarry lease applications for grant of cut and dressed blocks of colour granite.It is presumed that the leptynite rock types occur beneath the soil cover of cultivated fields which come under patta lands. There is a wide scope to exploit these subsurface deposits with the consent of pattadars.

Regidi Amudalavalasa mandal contains rock types which include granulites and leptynites. The leptynite rocks arc useful for cut and dressed blocks of white

85

coloured granite. In survey number 17 of Jodubondha; 79 of Konavalasa and 121 of Ambakhudi village, the leptynites are associated with granulites. There is a further scope to exploit the white granite from survey numbers 80 of Appapuram, 64 of Kodisa, 94 of Venkatapuram; 95 of Ambada and 76, 77,78 and 79 of Kondavalasa villages. Bluish grey granite is also noticed in this mandal and a quarry lease has been granted for over an extent of 15.743 Hec. in Venkatapuram village. Similar rock types are also located in survey number 101 of Tatipadu; 100 of Latchmapeta, Tokalavalasa and Balakavivalasa villages.

White granite deposits are also recorded in Ravivalasa village and are included in survey numbers, 16, 30, 38, 39, and 41. There are five leases in force, out of which one quarry lease is in operation producing cut and dressed blocks of colour granite. There is a scope to grant few more leases in this area., which is now contributing an average production of 25 cum. of coloured granite per month.

The rock type in Nandigama mandal is granite gneiss which is useful for cut or dressed blocks of colour granite and is located in survey numbers 1 and 22 of Sontinuru village. The rock is bluish grey in colour. One quarry lease is granted in survey number 1 for an extent of 9 ac. but the lease is not in operation as the material could not find market.

Granite - bearing areas in Sontinuru, Ramapuram, Jaipurarn, Boddapadu and Padmapuram include, granite gneisses, which have to be tried for useful as decorative stones.

The Sitampeta mandal comes under scheduled area and the rock types are calc-silicate rock and migmatite. The calc silicate rocks may find use as white granite. In survey number 95 of Pedarama village, some entrepreneurs are venturing for exploitation of white granite. There is further scope for grant of quarry leases for colour granite in the area.

86

C.OTHER VARIETIES OF GRANITE:

In Polaki mandal, granite bearing hillocks arc located in survey numbers 19 and 20 of Kondalakkivalasa 173 of Jaduru and 36 of Thotada. The extents of granite in Kondalakkivalasa and Jaduru are about 5 ac., and 8 ac., respectively. The rock is bluieh grey in colour and the rock type is migmatite. There is a scope of granting few more leases in the mandal.

In Jalumuru mandal, survey number 321 of Pedanamanipeta includes granite gneiss for exploitation as colour granite. Granite bearing rocks in survey numbers 1 of Pada and 441 of Vasundra of Meliaputti mandal are also workable deposits. In Sanibujjili mandal, granite gneisses suitable for cut and dressed blocks are found in survey numbers 1 and 4 of Valasapadu,.

87

and 103 of Polavaram. Previously in Haridwaram and Ganguwada, attempts were made to exploit this rock type but the areas were surrendered due to certain difects in the rock type.

D. PORPIIYROBLASTIC GRANITE GNEISS:

In addition to the Srikakulam blue and white granite deposits, Srikakulam district is endowed with some other important granite variety, i.e Porphyroblastic granite gneisses. Quartz, feldspar and pyroxene are the predominant minerals in this rock type. The feldspar occurs as laths in symmetrical pattern. The rock can be tried for used flooring, kitchen tops and table tops. Unfortunately, no entrepreneur ventured to work these deposits. As per enquiry it is learnt that these are of low value in trading. These rock types are located in parts of Vangara, Regidi Amudalavalasa, Rajam, G.Sigadam, Etcherla and Amudalavalasa mandals.

OTHER DEPOSITS

Quartz and Quartzite:

The principal raw material for the manufacture of glass products is the silica in different forms. In nature, silica occurs as quartz in different colours ranging from white to dark violet or pink depending on the pigment impurity. It is massive and occurs as intrusive or reef into the surrounding country rock. Quartz occurrences are reported in Vangara, Regidi Amudalavalasa, Etcherla, Palakonda, Ranasthalam, Laveru and Veeraghattam mandals.

In Vangara mandal, a quartzite deposit is located about 25 km NW of Rajam and also near Oni Agraharam. The quartzite is greyish white to bluish white in colour.

In Regidi Amudalavalasa mandal, the quartzite exposures extend for a length of over 5 km from Vandanipeta to southeast of Kandisa. Quartzite occurs as a band

88

in survey number 1 of Gullapadu. Rosy quartz occurs at Sankili as veins over a length of 2 km with a width of 500 m.

In Etcherla mandal, quartzite occurs as intercalated bands within Khondalite and covers an area of 8 sq.km at Sheermahamadpuram and Etcherla. These quartzite bands show wide variations in colour from white to light pink. The strike of formation is N 40' W 240'E with dips of 45' to 60' due NE.

In Palakonda and Veeraghattam mandals, quartzite occurs in three prominant hillocks, which are as follows between Tudi and Vangara in survey No.530 of Tudi covering an area of about 6 ha.. between Bejji and Patapuram in survey no.211 (P) 10 of Attali, Patapuram, covering an area of 20 ha. and north of Regulapadu.

Among the three quartzite deposit, the one exposed between Tudi and Vangara is the most prominent one. The height of the hill is 262 m and extends over a length of 2 km. The quartzite exposed between Bejji and Patapuram has a strike length 1.5 km and the hill has a height of 282 m and the other quartzite deposit is situated to the north of Regulapadu village, and extends in NW-SE directon for a length of about 2.5 km. The quarzites are interbedded with Khondalite. The interbedded nature of Khondalite and quartzite and their persistence in the strike direction are suggestive of the sedimentary nature of the rock types. The quartzites are massive and greyish white in colour.

In Laveru mandal, quartzite occurs as intercalated bands with Khondalite suite of rocks and occupies an area of about 2 sq.km. These bands exhibit a wide Variation in colour from white to light pink. The strike of formations is generally N 40 W - S 40 E with dips varying from 35 to 45 due north. The quartzite occurrences are reported at Laveru, Bejjipuram and Gudemgoduguvalasa villages. These deposits are of limited extent.

89

In Ranasthalam mandal, quartzite is seen intruding into khondalite at Sancham hill (33 m). The material is useful and the deposit is economically viable.Quartzite occurs between Sancham-Arjunavalasa in the northern and Krishnapuram-Surampeta in the southern parts of the mandal.

In Bhamini, Kotturu and Hiramandalam mandals, a quartzite band occurs 1.5 km east of Pedasankili and it has a strike length of 1.5 km. The quartzite is colourless to white and is a promising deposit. In Ponduru mandal, quartzite deposits are reported at Krishnapuram. There is an abandoned quartzite mine previously worked by M/s FACOR in the area. Quartzite and pegmatite are observed within khondalite.

In G.Sigadam mandal, quartzite deposits are reported at Enduva and Nadimivalala. Analysis were carried out for the samples collected from Ranasthalam and Palakonda Mandals and the Si02 content ranges from 99.27% to 99.85% with Fe203 ranges from 0.02 to 0.28%

(b) LIME SHELL:

Occurrences of lime shell are reported in certain parts along the coast line mainly in the backwaters or lakes or near the sea-shore. Lime shell is used mainly in lime burning units, manufacture of white cement etc. Low grade shell is used in poultry feed. The areas where limeshell is being worked are included in Ichapuram mandal.

Lime shell is deposited in the backwaters of Chinnalaxmipuram, Peddalaxmipurarn, Donakaru and Burjapadu of Ichapuram mandal covering an area of 750 ac. The deposit is worked only for five months i.e. from February to June of every year. The shell is usually deposited below the surface up to a depth of 2m with an uneven distribution. The lime shell along with waste material occurring in the form of soil is being excavated and kept as a heap. Lime shell is sorted out from the heap and the recovery percentage is about 20. The limeshell is also deposited in

90

backwaters of Kapasakuddi of Kavati mandal. It is locally formed and the lime shell is excavated during summer season. The process involves extracting the shell, and sorting out by using cane baskets. It is observed that the organic lime shell deposit has a thickness of less than a metre occurring at depths of one to two metres. The lime shell is marketed to Odissa and there is no lime shell burning unit in the mandal.

(c) Beach sands:

Andhra Pradesh has a vast coastal length of about 950 km and is endowed with rich beach sand or placer mineral reserves bearing titanium and zirconium ores. Atomic Minerals Division has been carrying out investigations for these minerals since 1950" and has till date covered various parts of the coast indentifying potential zones for economic exploitation.

In Srikakulam district, the coastal stretch of 192 km length starts from north of Kandivalasa to Ichapuram. The more promising areas include Kandivalasa, Bendicreek, Barua and Donkuru. Heavy mineral sands are reported along the east coast in Sompeta, Vajrapukotturu, Kaviti, Ichapuram, Tekkali, Mandasa and Etcherla mandals.

In Sompeta mandal, the sizeable deposits of ilmenite, rutile, zircon, monazite, garnet and sillimanite minerals are spread over a coastal length of 15 km. In Vajrapukotturu mandal, about 1 km distance from Kadasangi, some sand dunes are noticed. Near Chinavanka, sand dunes occur containing heavy minerals. East of Metturu, a sand dune is located at 1 km distance. Along the coast, the major sand dune containing placer minerals are observed in Ichapuram, Donkuru and Lakshmipuram of Ichapuram mandal, Sivaganuputtuga, Budathanuputtuga and kapasakuddi of Kaviti mandal, Pithali, Dunnavuru, Bathalapuram, Meelaganguwada of Mandasa mandal, Kuppili, Baruva Sompeta mandal, parts of Dharmavaram and Donthalakonda of Etcherla mandal, Nowpada of Tekkali mandal and

91

Kalingapatnam beach of Gara mandal, and in parts of Ranasthalam and Vajrapukothuru mandals.

(d) Clay:

Clay deposits are located towards north of Varisam, west of Nelivada , east of Pisini, and north east of Koshta in Ranasthalam mandal Clay occurs as interbeds within sandstone (Upper Gondwana) and occasional conglomerate beds. The sedimentaries occur as outliers amidst the metamorphics of Easternghat Complex and have a limited extent of 32 sq. km. These Gondwana sedimaitaries follow a linear strip from Rayavalasa in the northeast to Pydibhimavaram in the south west. The thickness of clay bed ranges from 1.5m to 5.3 m. with sandstone overburden of 3 m to 8 m.

Clays is dull white, cream, reddish brown, yellow and yellowish brown in colour. Plasticity by feel is good. The water of plasticity varies from 31.8to 33.8%. Drying shrinkage at 110c varies from l.43 to 4.3% whereas the fired shrinkage at 1400' c varies from 1.91 to 16.2%. Water of absorption is from 3 to 20.1%. The fired colour is white, reddish brown, deep brown and light brown. The vitrification varies from low to fair. The predominant clay mineral is kaolinite, occasionally contaminated with some chlorite mineral and minor quartz.

The chemical analysis of washed clay from Varisam, Nelivada and Koshta indicate 45.42 to 46.90% Sio2; 33.89 to 36.27% a12o3 0.98 to 3.11% Fe203; 1.15 to1.17% ti02; 1.44 to 2.06% mgo; 0.15 to 0.20% k20 1.23 to 0.39% na20; and traces of Cao.

Varisam and Koshta clays may not be suitable for white porcelain ware, because of dark fired colour. They may find use in the manufacture of sanitary ware, stoneware and sewage pipe. Nelivada clay can be tried for the inferior quality sanitary ware, stone ware, sewage pipe etc., The Fe203 content can be decreased by simple screening and washing of clay. The inferred reserves of clay in Nelivada

92

are about 0.45 million tonnes (GSI-1982). However, the clay occurrences at Varisam and Koshta have to be assessed by pitting and shallow drilling.

The Department has carried out drilling for clay near Pydi Bhemavaram in Srikakulam district to evaluate the extent grade and reserves in the area. Four bore holes to a cummulative depth of 124m were drilled. The results in the three bore holes were encouraging but the remaining bore hole has not given any indication about the occurrence of clay in the area. Samples analysed which give Sio2 - 43 to 64 % Al2o3 24 to 38 % Fe2o3 1 to 2 %. The clay is gritty and non- plastic with high silica percentage associated with sand stone beds. The clay can be used in the refractory units.

(e) Manganese Ore:

The manganese ore deposits of Srikakulam district are associated with khondalite, gametiferous quartzite, quartzite and calc-granulite. The manganese ore is syngenetic in its origin. Srikakulam district has the distinction of being the earliest producer (1892) of manganese ore in India. The manganese ore is generally low to medium grade and is high in phosphorous. The principal manganese ore minerals are psilomelane and pyrolusite with small amounts of braunite.

The manganese ore is hard, lumpy and suitable for metallurgical industries. The manganese ore deposits are localised along the crests and troughs of drag- folds of host rocks and the ore shoots plunge along the axis of drag folds. Manganese ore deposits occur in Rajam, G.Sigadam, Laveru, Palakonda and Vangara mandals. In Rajam and G.Sigadam mandals, low grade ore manganese ore occurs as lenses in khondalite, gametiferous quartzite and laterlised zones to the southwest of G.Sigadam mandal. Grey to greyish black coloured psilomalene with occasional amounts of pyrolusite are the ore minerals

The manganese ore bodies in Laveru mandal are concentrated 2 km northeast of Govindapuram. The conformable bedded deposits and lensoid bodies

93

of manganese ore occur in association with khondalites. The ore minerals are psilomalene cryptomelane, pyrolusite and wad.

In Palakonda mandal, the manganese ore is found in association with gametiferous quartzite near Tudi and the ore is of low grade.

In Vangara mandal, low grade manganese ores are found to the east of Jadipeta (V.R.Purarn) and the deposit is of limited extent.

Test drilling may be taken up in free hold areas to know the nature of the manganese ore bodies.

A few manganese samples are collected from Rajam and Laveru mandals. The samples show low grade manganese ore contents. Manganese ore occurs near Bathuva village of Rajam mandal and Govindapuram village of Laveru mandal may be considered for exploitation

The Chemical analysis reveals that the manganese contents varies from 9.32% to 41.26% with 5.60% to 56.10% of Fe203 in Bathuva village, whereas in Govindapuram Village the manganese content varies from 23.48% to 29.52% with 14.20% to 29% of Fe203.

(f)Lime Kankar:

The term lime is applied loosely to the products of limestone after burning it. It denotes usually burnt or calcined limestone. Lime is prepared both from the ordinary grade of limestone and from the impure concretions of calcium carbonate, known as kankar. In Srikakulam district, the important deposits of lime kankar are found near Pogiri, Kancharam, D.Ramunaiduvalasa, Nandabalaga of Rajam mandal.

In G. Sigadam mandal, lime kankar is located at Palakanyam and the lease was held by M/S. FACOR. The deposit occurs as beds and their thickness varies from lm to 1.5m with an overburden on 0.5 m. to 1.m.

94

In Etcherla mandal, lime kankar is observed near Tallavalasa where it occurs in concretionary and nodular form. It is massive and hard. Occurrences of lime kankar are also observed in the adjoining areas.

In Bhamini mandal, lime kankar is reported 1.2 km northeast of Puttigam. It is in nodular form and hard.

In lime kankar, the CaO content is 53.03% with 0.70% of MgO and 2.4% of Si02 in Etcherla mandal.

(g)Laterite

The laterite and lateritic soils occur in the midland region as well as in parts of high lands of Ranasthalam, Regidi Amudalavalasa, Vangara, Santhakaviti, Kotabommali, Vajrapukothuru Nandigama, Saravakota, Meliaputti, Amudalavalasa and Mandasa. Depending upon the elevation at which they occur, the laterite can be classified into high and low level laterites.

The low level laterites are found in the low-lying tracts of the district. Lateritic soils contain a high percentage of iron oxide and they are deficient in phosphorus, lime and magnesia; and also lack in alkalies and humus content.

In Ranasthalam mandal, low level laterite and lateritic soils occur in parts of Bantupalli, Patharlapalli, Pishini, Paidipeta and Vemalapeta. It is earthy brown to reddish brown and highly porous. Examination of dug well sections in the area indicates that the laterite overlying the sandstone contains quartz grains and sandstone fragments suggesting that the laterite must have resulted from insitu weathering. The laterite occurrences are confined to a limited extent in Ranasthalam mandal.

In Regidi Amudalavalasa, Vangara and Santhakaviti mandals, the important laterite deposits occur near Kayitapalli, north of Chetavalasa, Chintalapeta and Mamidivalasa. The laterite occurs as capping and is reddish brown in colour.

95

In Saravakota mandal, the laterite occurs as capping over the khondalites in parts of Anguru, Thogiri, and Govardhanapuram and is reddish brown in colour.

In Kotabommali mandal, laterite occurs as cappings over the khondolite suite of rocks in parts of Srijagannadhapuram, , Tarlipeta, Kistupuram and is reddish brown in colour.

The lateritic soils are observed near Akkupalli and Garudabadra in Nandigama mandal. These are of limited extent and are reddish brown in colour.

The lateritic soils have been observed near Akkulapeta of Amudalavalasa mandal, in certain parts of Meliaputti mandal and near Loharabanda village of Mandasa mandal. The samples of laterite constitute Si02 - 32%; Al203 - 22.24%; Fe203-34% and TiO2- 0.80%

MINOR MINERALS

Srikakulam district comprises 37 mandals covering an area of 5,837 sq.km. There are numerous hillocks containing varied rock types which are being quarried for road metal and railway ballast. The building materials fall under the category of minor minerals and the areas are being granted by the Dy.Director of Mines and Geology, under A.P.M.D.C Rules 1966. The building material which includes road metal, sand, tiles and bricks are being utilised locally for civil construction purpose and road formations, supply of ballast to the railway track. The rock types are khondalite and granite. Sand is removed from Nagavali, Vamsadhara and Vegavathi rivers and used in construction of buildings and other local requirements. There are about 34 areas leased out for road metal quarrying. The important quarries are located at Ponduru, Rapaka, Salihundam and Singapuram.

DESCRIPTION OF QUARRIES

(a) Ponduru - Rapaka Quarries :

96

These road metal quarries are situated 20 km. from Srikakulam, on Srikakulam- Rajam Road. The quarries numbering about six are scattered over an area of 150 ac. on both sides of the road from 18 to 20 km. stone. The road metal is being used mainly for road construction. The quarries are covered under leases.

(b) Singupuram Quarry:

The Singupuram hillock is 10 km from Srikakulam and is situated in Survey nos.311 and 515, west of the National Highway and Singupuram. The quarries are scattered over an area of about 150 ac. The road metal is being used for civil works. The quarry is under the leasehold of M/s Singupuram Labour Co-operative Society. There are about 150 labourers working in the quarry.

(c) Etcherla and Salihundam Quarries:

The road metal extracted from these quarries is being used in masonry constructions. Etcherla quarries are situated at about 8-10 km. distance from Srikakulam on the National Highway. Saligundam hillock is situated on the northernside of Kalingapatnam road near Boravanipeta

The quarries described above are well connected with motorable roads and are under regular leases. Rest of the quarries in the district are small in extent and are located in interior places.

5.2.3 Geochronology of Srikakulam District: Dating of Rock type of Eastrean Ghat region was attempted by using methods like Pb, U-Th, P-Ar,Rb-Sr add fassion track. On the basis of age determination of dentrtital Monazite, the eastrean Ghat orogeny closed at 1570 million Years ago. On the basis of formation of Khondalites from folding and Metamorphism of politic sediments an age of 1600 million years was given to Khondalites. From the age of Zircon it is suggested that Khondalites and Charnokites are of 2600 Million years ago .On the basis of Orogenic cycle, the Eastrean Ghat Orogeny is included under Precambrian III(1600 to 2500 million years ).Khondalite Group of rocks and Pyroxene granulites are the products of granulite

5.2.4 Geomorphology of Srikakulam District:

Using IRS satellite data and GIS detailed geological, geomorphological and structural map of Srikakulam District was generated as per Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission (RGNDWM) guidelines on 1: 50,000 scale. The objective of this is to map lithology, geomorphology and structural characteristics of an area on 1:50,000 scale and to integrate the same to locate potential ground water prospect zones and to recommend suitable structures for ground water recharge. Various hydrogeomorphic units are delineated and suitable recharge structures are proposed at drinking water affected villages under this project. The description of geomorphic units of different origins (Fig.19) mapped in Srikakulam District are described.

5.2.5 Landforms of fluvial origin

The word fluvial is used in Earth science to refer to processes and landforms produced by running water. As with other surficial processes, running water can either erode material from the earth’s landscape, or deposit layers of sediment. The resulting landforms can thus be classified as either erosional landforms or

99

depositional landforms. The incredible power of running water in carving various erosional and depositional landforms is well known. Although the quantity of water in stream is small at one time during the course of the year, very large volumes of water moves through the channel and they form an important component in the hydrological cycle. The fluvial dissection of the landscape consists of valleys and their included channel ways organized into a system of connection known as a drainage network. Drainage networks display many types of quantitative regularity that are useful in analyzing both the fluvial systems and the terrains that they dissect (NRSA, 2007).

Flood plain: The surface or strip of relatively smooth land adjacent to a river channel constructed (or in the process of being constructed) by the present river in its existing regimen and covered with water when the river overflows its banks at times of high water. It is built of alluvium carried by the river during floods and deposited in the sluggish water beyond the influence of the swiftest current. (NRSA, 2007).

5.2.6. Landforms of Structural Origin

Landform of structural origin is related to structural aspect of the area. Most of the landforms under this class have genesis related to underlying structure. Structure plays an important role for reducing the resistance of rock which manifests itself in different geomorphic forms. Some of the variations are minor and some are in mega scale. The mega scale forms have a dramatic effect on the genesis of landforms and hence mapping of such forms indirectly indicates the structural set up of the area. The mega scale structural features like fault and fold depending on its type plays an important role in genesis of structural landform. The influence of geologic structures on the development and appearance of landscapes is prominent. The influence of geologic structures ranges from large features, which exert a dominant influence on the form of an entire landscape, to small features,

100

which affect an individual landform and the geomorphic processes operating on it. The structural control could be active structures whose form is directly impressed on the modern landscape or ancient structural features whose influence on a modern landscape is due primarily to differential erosion (NRSA, 2007).

Structural Hills: Hills and valleys, which are originated due to tectonic process and are highly dissected by the drainage lines. This can be further classified as highly, moderately and low dissection depending on the density of joints and drainage. Mostly this will be interpreted from a planimetric satellite data and the classification is highly subjective.

5.2.7 Landforms of denudational origin

Landform of denudational origin is formed where the denudation process dominates over the other process. Most of the landform resulting due to this process is the combined effect of mechanical and chemical weathering. Denudation is the process of removal of material by erosion and weathering. This has direct influence on the relief of the area especially in the reduction of relief to the base level. The agents are mostly water, ice and wind. The major factors affecting denudation are geology, climate, tectonics and anthropogenic effects. All rocks and minerals at or near surface are attacked by physical and chemical process. The effect of this process is not the same everywhere because of rocks varying resistance to change. As a result weathering and erosion yield number of landforms, which have typical shape and forms. Weathering is an essential part of the rock cycle. The parent material, or rock weathered material is disaggregated to form smaller fragments and some of the minerals are dissolved and removed by the agent of water. This removal of material is erosion and is accomplished by running water, wind, glacier etc. The weathering provides a raw material for the sedimentary rock and soil (NRSA, 2007).

101

Denudational Hill: It is a highly dissected hill which has obliterated the structures. Pediment: A broad, flat or gently sloping, rock floored erosion surface or plain of low relief, typically developed by sub aerial agents (including running water) in an arid or semiarid region at the base of an abrupt and receding mountain front or plateau escarpment, and underlain by bedrock (occasionally by older alluvial deposits) that may be bare but more often partly mantled with a and discontinuous veneer of alluvium derived from the upland masses and in transit across the surface. Pediplain: An extensive, multi-concave, rock cut erosion surface formed by the coalescence of two or more adjacent pediments and occasional desert domes, and representing the end result (the “peneplain”) of the mature stage of the erosion cycle. Based on the thickness of weathering they are further classified as shallow, moderate and deep pediplains.

Residual Hill: A small remnant hill, which has witnessed all forms of denudation. 5.2.8 Landforms of Coastal origin

5.2.8 Landforms of Coastal origin:

Coasts are also the loci of a unique assemblage of erosional and depositional processes. The various landforms of coastal areas are almost exclusively the result of the action of ocean waves. Wave action creates some of the world’s most spectacular erosional landforms. Where wave energy is reduced, depositional landforms like beaches are created. The source of energy for coastal erosion and sediment transport is wave action. A wave possesses potential energy as a result of its position above the wave trough, and kinetic energy caused by the motion of the water within the wave. This wave energy is generated by the frictional effect of winds moving over the ocean surface. The higher the wind speed and the longer the fetch or distance of open water across which the wind blows and waves travel, the larger the waves and the more energy they therefore possess. Long open ocean waves or swells travel faster than short, locally generated sea waves. They also have longer wave periods and this is how they are distinguished from the short sea

102

waves on reaching the coast. Long swells, which have travelled hundreds of kilometers, may have wave periods of upto 20 seconds. Smaller sea waves have wave periods of 5 to 8 seconds. Where ocean depths are greater than the length of the waves, the wave motion does not extend to the ocean floor and therefore remains unaffected by the floor. As the ocean depth falls below half the wavelength, the bottom increasingly affects the wave motion. As the depth of water decreases, the wave height increases rapidly and the wavelength decreases rapidly. Thus, the wave becomes more and more peaked as it approaches the shore, finally curling over as a breaker and breaking on the shore. As the wave breaks, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, providing a large amount of energy for the wave to do work along the shoreline. Transportation by waves and currents is necessary in order to move rock particles eroded from one part of a coastline to a place of deposition elsewhere. One of the most important transport mechanisms results from wave refraction. Since waves rarely break onto a shore at right angles, the upward movement of water onto the beach (swash) occurs at an oblique angle. However, the return of water (backwash) is at right angles to the beach, resulting in the net movement of beach material laterally. This movement is known as beach drift. The endless cycle of swash and backwash and resulting beach drift can be observed on all beaches. Frequently, backwash and rip currents cannot remove water from the shore zone as fast as it is piled up there by waves. As a result, there is a build up of water that results in the lateral movement of water and sediment just offshore in a direction with the waves. The currents produced by the lateral movement of water are known as long shore currents. The movement of sediment is known as long shore drift, which is distinct from the beach drift described earlier, which operates on land at the beach. The combined movement of sediment via long shore drift and beach drift is known as littoral drift. Tidal currents along coasts can also be effective in moving eroded material. While incoming and outgoing tides produce currents in opposite directions on a daily basis, the current in one direction is usually stronger than in the other resulting in a net one-way transport of sediment.

103

Long shore drift, long shore currents, and tidal currents in combination determine the net direction of sediment transport and areas of deposition. Using multi- temporal satellite data can bring out the dynamics of the coast (NRSA, 2007).

Beach: A gently sloping zone, typically with a concave profile, of unconsolidated material that extends landward from the low-water line to the place where there is a definite change in material or physiographic form (such as a cliff) or to the line of permanent vegetation (usually of the effective limit of the highest storm waves). Beach ridge: A low, essentially continuous mound of beach or beach and dune material (sand, gravel, shingle) heaped up by the action of waves and currents on the backshore of a beach beyond the present limit of storm waves or the reach of ordinary tides, and occurring singly or as one of a series of approximately parallel deposits. The ridges are roughly parallel to the shoreline and represent successive positions of an advancing shoreline. Coastal plain: A low, generally broad but sometimes narrow plain that has its margin on the shore of a large body of water (esp. the ocean) and its strata either horizontal or very gently sloping toward the water, and that generally represents a strip of recently emerged sea floor or continental shelf.

Dune and Swale complex: It is a large complex of parallel wetland swales and upland beach ridges (dunes) found in coastal embayment and on large sand spits along the shorelines of the Great Lakes. The upland dune ridges are typically forested, while the low swales support a variety of herbaceous or forested wetland types, with open wetlands more common near the shoreline and forested wetlands more prevalent further from the lake.

Tidal flat: An extensive, nearly horizontal, marshy or barren tract of land that is alternately covered and uncovered by the rise and fall of the tide, and consisting of unconsolidated sediment (mostly mud and sand). It may form the top surface of a deltaic deposit.

5.3 Structural Features of Srikakulam District

The Easternghats, an area of about five thousand eight hundred thirty seven square kilometres in Srikakulam, consisting of khondalites, charnockites and granites, was geologically mapped. The trend of the formations varies from NE-SW through E-W to NW-SE. This trend neither conforms with NE-SW trend of the Eastern Ghats nor with the NW-SE trend of the hinterland of the Eastern Ghats between the Godavari and rivers. The change in the trend pattern is inferred to be due to the area being located in an intensely folded and faulted region in the eastern margin of the Eastern Ghats. Rivers Nagavali and Vamsadhara follow some of the mega lineaments (NNW-SSE).

Srikakulam District has consolidated formations which include crystallines (Khondalites, Charnockites and granitic gneisses) and meta sediments (Dolomites, shales, phyllites and quartzites) of Archaean and Pre-cambrian periods respectively. The Khondalite Group of rocks are seen as prominent hill ranges (CGWB, 2013). The area has been divided into four engineering geological provinces viz. 1) alluvium comprising sand and silt, 2) laterite 3)granite and charnockite. and 4) gneiss and khondalite based on geotechnical characteristics. The alluvium has very high permeability with low to medium bearing capacity and poor foundation characteristics. The laterite has a variable permeability with low to medium bearing capacity and poor foundation characteristics. The granite and charnockite have low permeability, high bearing capacity and very good foundation characteristics. The gneiss and khondalite have low permeability, medium bearing capacity and good foundation characteristics. The district falls in two seismic zones I and II with the major part of the district falling in zone I.

5.4 Ground Water Prospects in the District

Fig.21 Ground Water prospects in Srikakulam District, Andhra Pradesh

Ground water occurs in almost all geological formations and its potential depends upon the nature of geological formations, geographical setup, and incidence of rainfall, recharge and other hydrogeological characters of the aquifer. In consolidated formations, ground water occurs under unconfined to semi-

107

confined conditions. Ground water is developed in these formations by dug wells, dug cum bore wells and bore wells tapping weathered and fractured zones.

From the ground water point of view, the aquifers found in the district can be broadly classified into hard rocks (khondalites, quartzites, charnockites, granitic gneisses etc.) and soft rocks (sand stones, river alluvium, coastal alluvium etc.). Ground water occurs under unconfined to semi-confined conditions in the hard rock formations, while it occurs under unconfined to confined conditions in soft rock formations. The yields in the weathered zones of khondalites and charnockites are very limited and are in the order of 10 - 20 m3/d. In the weathered granitic gneisses, the yields are in the ranges from 10 to 40m3/d. The bore wells constructed in the hard rocks generally tap the fractured and fissured zones. The yields of the bore wells range between <1 lps to 3 lps. The higher yields are limited to the available thickness of fractured, fissured and jointed zones. The occurrence of fractures is limited down to 30 to 40 m bgl and occasionally extends down to 70- 100m bgl. The river alluvium being unconsolidated sediment and having high porosity and permeability forms potential aquifer system. The yields generally range in this aquifer between 3 and 5 lps. Occasionally 7 to 9 lps yields are also observed in the sediments consisting of thick sand and gravel beds. Coastal alluvium has good yield potential in the range of 2 to 4 lps depending upon the availability of sand beds. The yields in sandstone formation range between 6 and 19 lps. Granularity of the sandstone bed is the deciding factor of yield potential as the higher yields are recorded in the wells tapping coarse sand stone beds.(CGWB)

Ground water resources for each mandal are estimated. Net annual ground water availability is 411.30 MCM in the command area and 515.86 MCM in non-command area with a total of 927.16 MCM in the entire district. The gross ground water draft for all uses in the command area is in the order of 80.75 MCM whereas it is 191.42 MCM in non-command area, and the total gross ground water draft for all uses in the district is 272.17 MCM. Out of this Resource 23.41 MCM in Command area and 68.29 MCM in non-command area with the total of 92.103 MCM in the entire district

108

allocated to cater to the domestic and industrial needs of the population in the district as in 2025. Net ground water availability for future irrigation use is 318.49 MCM in the command, 287.26 MCM in non-command area and 605.75 MCM in the entire district. All the mandals in the district are categorised as safe except Ranasthalam (Over exploited) and Laveru (Semi Critical) mandals

5.5 Ground Water Quality of the District

Ground water quality maps covering the entire state of Andhra Pradesh are generated Fig. 23. The quality of ground water is as important as quantity. The electrical conductivity varies from 468 to 4073 s/cm at 25°C. In major portion of the

109

district, EC ranges from 750 to 1500 s/cm at 25°C. EC values more than permissible limit occur at Heeramandalam (3570 s/cm at 25°C) and at Aludu (4073 s/cm at 25°C) in the central portion of the district. Major chemical constituents are within permissible limits except at Kothuru, Patapatnam, Baruva, Heeramandalam, Srikakulam, Veerghattam, Narasannapeta, Tekkalipatnam and Ponduru where NO3 recorded more than permissible limit. The Arsenic and Fluoride contents are also within the permissible limits. The quality of ground water in the district is in general potable and suitable for domestic, industrial and irrigation purposes, except at a few localities in isolated places, which is due to localised pollution.

Ground water samples were collected from 2530 habitations out of 4260 habitations representing for two seasons i.e., post monsoon and pre monsoon in December 2012 and June 2014 for the entire District. The water samples were collected from Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Department (RWS & S) and analyzed for physico-chemical parameters like TDS, TH, Cl, NO3, pH, F, Fe, TA and SO4 using standard techniques in the laboratory and compared with the BIS (10500-2015), in terms of desirable, permissible and non potable classes. Blue, yellow and red colours indicate pre monsoon quality and + , - , . symbols indicate post monsoon quality for desirable, permissible and non-potable classes respectively.

From the analysis, it has been observed that the ground water is polluted in pre monsoon and post monsoon. About 30% of the area is under non potable category due to high concentration of Nitrate, Total Dissolved Solids and Total Hardness. About 40% of the area is in potable category and the remaining 30% of the area is covered in hills and water bodies of the entire District. The occurrence and movement of ground water in an area is governed by several factors such as topography, lithology, and geological structure, depth of weathering, extent of factures, drainage pattern, climate conditions and interrelationship between these factors.
