PROCESSES OF DEPOSITION OF SEDIMENTS IN THE RIVERS

OF THE DISTRICT

River sediment refers to the mixture of mineral matters which are derived from the weathering and erosion of rocks present in the river bed. Sediments are derived by these natural processes and are subsequently transported by water and/or by the force of gravity acting on the sediments. Sediments become the river load and transport the sediments through its course. Transportation of the sediments depends on the energy of the river. Boulders are transported by traction and are rolled along the bed of the river. Slightly smaller particles, such as pebbles and gravel, are transported by saltation. This is where the load bounces along the bed of the river because the river has enough energy to lift the particles off the bed but the particles are too heavy to travel by suspension. Fine particles like clay and silt are transported in suspension. Most of the load is transported by suspension. Solution is a special method of transportation wherein soluble rocks such as limestone or chalk are transported in solution.

Deposition occurs when forces responsible for sediment transportation are no longer sufficient to overcome the forces of gravity and friction that create a resistance to motion. To transport the load, a river needs energy while at the same time, when a river loses energy, it is forced to deposit its load.

Much of the material is carried in suspension and loads in suspension erode the river banks by abrasion. When rivers flow over flat land, they form large bends called meanders. As a river goes around a bend, most of the water is pushed towards the outside causing increased erosion. The river erodes sideways into its banks rather than downwards into its bed, a process called lateral erosion. On the inside of the bend, in contrast, there is much less water. The river will therefore be shallow and slow flowing. It cannot carry as much material and so sand and gravels will be deposited. This is called a point bar or slip off slope. Due to erosion on the outside of a bend and deposition on the inside, the shape of a meander will change over a period of time. Eventually deposition will block off the old meander to leave an oxbow lake. The oxbow lake will slowly dry up, only refilling after heavy rain or during a flood. The annual deposition in the river depends upon the velocity of the river, period of rainy season and rainfall at different places of the flow of rivers.

Cauvery river, which is perennial in nature, flows along the western and southern boundaries of the district. Tirumanimuttar river, which is the most important tributaryof Cauvery in the district, has its origin in Manjavadi area of Shevroy hills in Salem district and traverses the district before its confluence with Cauvery at Nanjai Edayar village of Paramathi taluk. A small area in the northeastern part, which is drained mainly by Vasista Nadi and Sweta Nadi rivers, which are tributaries of Vellar River. Originally, the Cauvery River had its source at Talakaveri in the Western Ghats Mountain Range. Talakaveri is situated in the Kodagu District in Karnataka and the river usually runs in a southeastern itinerary across the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The river flows over the southern Deccan terrains across the plains in the southeast and pours into the Bay of Bengal. The catchment area of Cauvery River has been calculated at 72,000 km2 or 27,700 square miles.

GENERAL PRROFILE OF THE DISTRICT

Namakkal district holds Nature's beauty, historical temples, famous rock fort and hill station i.e. Kolli Hill . The Namakkal town in the District Headquarters and known as the "Egg City" as it contains a number of poultry farms. It finds a place in the map of India for its lorry building industry hence called as “Transport City”.

Agriculture, micro to mesoscale industry and Trade play vital role for its economic growth. Principal crops like tapioca, paddy, sugarcane, cotton, coconut, groundnut and various kinds of fruits and vegetables viz. horsegram, turmeric, mango, banana, and gingili are being cultivated in this district. Sago and Starch production in Rasipuram Taluk are exported to other countries.

Cotton Spinning Mills and Paper Mills are the major industries in Tiruchengode Taluk. Handloom weaving and power looms are found in Rasipuram and Tiruchengode taluk. Few sugar mills are located in Mohonur block.

The district is well known as an abode of several reputed educational institutions. It provides a platform for schooling as well as higher education. As per 2011 census the average literacy rate in the district is 74.63% whereas 82.64% for males and 66.57% for females.

The district has several centres of attraction which allures many travellers from local areas and also different parts of the country. Namakkal is also called as “Namagiri”, the name of the rock formation at the center of the town. The Rock Fort in Namakkal is a special feature of the Town. The Fort covers an area of one and half acres of flat surface and is accessible from South-West by a flight of narrow steps. Namakkal is famous because of Sri Namagiri Thayar’s merciness, the greatness of Lakshmi Narasimha cave temple and the greatness of Lord Hanuman. The name Namakkal immediately brings to mind “Namakkal Anjaneya” – the temple of Hanuman at Namakkal. Namakkal is famous for a life-size Hanuman (Anjaneyar) Statue carved out of a single stone in the Anjeneyar Temple. The idol of Hanuman is approx. 18 feet in height, and stands under open sky. It is believed that the Hanuman statue keeps growing and to stop the growth a priest put a magic needle at the top of the statue’s head. The Narasimma Samy Temple along with Amman Temple is situated behind the Rock Fort in the heart of the town. The famous Tamil Poet “Namakkal Kavingnar Ramalingam Pillai” was born in this district. In the memory of the poet, State government has established an arts and science college for women in this district.

CHAPTER-VIII

LAND UTILISATION PATTERN IN THE DISTRICT

The land use pattern in the district is influenced by types of soil, groundwater, rainfall and irrigation projects. The major land use type in the area are barren land, crop land, dense forest and plantations, dry crop land, hill, shrub land, medium dense forest, reserved forest, and settlements. Around 22% of the total area is under irrigated cultivation, forest and barren land are 13% and 7.3% respectively.

Soil is one of the natural resources that impact the agricultural development of an area. The soils of Namakkal district can be broadly classified into 5 major soils types viz. Red Soil, Black

Soil, Brown soil, Alluvial and Mixed Soil The major part of the area is characterised by red gravelly soil (in deeply buried pediments and moderately buried pediments) with red loamy soil . The red soils are medium to heavy textured soils with moderate to higher permeability. Red loamy soil is a product of weathered granite of Archaean age. The black soils are limited Namakkal taluk. They are fine textured with low permeability. The brown soils are limited to small part of Tiruchengode taluk and they characterised by low permeability. The alluvial soil (in the flood plains) is seen along the river courses in Namakkal, Paramathi and Tiruchengode taluks. Mixed soil is the second major soil type occurring all the taluks of the district. Table-1: Type of soil

Namakkal district is underlain entirely by Archaean Crystalline formations with recent alluvial deposits occurring along the river courses and Colluvium at the foothills. The important aquifer systems in the district are constituted by weathered & fractured crystalline rocks and Colluvial deposits. The porous formations in the district are represented by alluvium and colluvium. The

54 alluvial deposits are confined to the major river courses only. Ground water occurs under phreatic conditions. The maximum saturated thickness of these aquifers is up to 5m depending upon the topographic conditions. The area lying at the foot hill zoneswhich are seen in the northern parts of the district is underlain by the colluvial material derived from the near by hill ranges comprising sands and gravels. The maximum saturated thickness of these aquifers is up to 20 m depending upon the topographic conditions. Ground water occurs under phreatic conditions. The hard consolidated crystalline rocks of Archaean age represent weathered and fractured formations of Granite Gneiss, Granite, Charnockite and other associated rocks. Ground water occurs under phreatic conditions in the weathered mantle and under semi-confined conditions in the fractured zones. The thickness of weathered zone in the district ranges from <1m to 30m. It is within the depth of 20 m in major part of the district while in the western and extreme north-north-eastern parts of the district, they are more than 20 m. The depth of the dug wells ranged from 7 to 45mbgl. The yield of the open wells range from <50 to 200 m3/day in weathered crystalline rocks and up to 400 m3/day in recent alluvial formations along major drainage course.

The ground water development in the district, in general, is high when compared to many other districts in the state. 10 out of 15 blocks in the district have been categorized as either ‘overexploited’ or ‘critical’. The trend analyses of historical ground water level data also indicate a long-term fall in a major part of the district. Based on the factors mentioned, it is inferred that a major part of the district could be considered vulnerable to various environmental impacts of water level depletion such as declining ground water levels, drying up of shallow wells and decrease in yield of bore wells.

Drainage:

Slope: Slope of an area is an indicator of the infiltration rate. The contact period of water with the surface is less where the slope is more and thereby the infiltration rate will be less. In places where the slope is relatively less, the terrain is almost plain and the contact of the run off water with surface is high and it results in good groundwater recharge. The contour map is prepared in 1:50000 scale from SOI topo sheets. TIN map is created from contour map. Based on the TIN map, slope map is prepared for the study area. The slope map of the study area reveals that the slope is high in hilly terrains which are present in north and east parts. The most part of the study area contains a gentle slope of 0- 1 degree. The slope map of Namakkal district is given below.

CHAPTER-XI

GEOLOGY AND MINERAL WEALTH OF THE DISTRICT

A brief Geology of Tamil Nadu:

Crystalline rocks of Archaean to late Proterozoic age occupy over 80% of the area of the state of Tamil Nadu, while the rest is covered by Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks mainly along the coastal belt and in a few inland River valleys. The hard rock terrain comprises predominantly of Charnockite and Khondalite groups and their migmatitic derivatives, supracrustal sequences of Sathyamangalam and Kolar groups and Peninsular Gneissic Complex (Bhavani Group), intruded by ultramafic-mafic complexes, basic dykes, granites and syenites. The sedimentary rocks of the coastal belt include fluviatile, fluvio-marine and marine sequences, such as Gondwana Supergroup (Carboniferous to Permian and Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous), marine sediments of Cauvery basin (Lower Cretaceous to Paleogene), Cuddalore /Pannambarai Formation (Mio-Pliocene) and sediments of Quaternary and Recent age. The Geological map of Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry is given below:

60 Geology of the district:

Namakkal District is mostly underlain by the Achaean crystalline and metamorphic complex. The geology of the district is complicated due to recurring tectonic and magmatic activities occurred during Pre-Cambrian period. The famous Sittampundi Anorthosite Complex which is known for its complex geology and occurrences of Platinum Group of Elements is situated in this district. Hornblende Biotite Gneisses are the oldest rocks in four taluks of the district. It is very fissile and present widely in plains. The gneisses are highly weathered upto 30 m at some places. The Charnockites are coarse grained, massive and foliated at places and their colour is bluish dark to grey. They are the second largest rock type present in the district. They are massive and less weathered than the gneisses. They exhibit 2 to 3 distinct set of joints and most of them are vertical with steep dips. Iron ore deposits associated with quartz feldspathic gneiss and garnetiferous quartz gneisses are present in some areas. These rocks are highly folded and jointed and less weathered. Quartzite and crystalline limestones are exposed in patches in north and central parts of the district. The thickness of these bands varies from a few metres to ten metres and the length extends to few kilometres. Numerous lenses of dunite with magnesite veins of various dimension are exposed within gneiss .There are number of basic dykes present in the study area. Granites are found in some parts of the district. They are massive and jointed poorly. Thin veneer of alluvium is found along the course of the Cauvery and Thirumanimuthar. However, alluvium of few metres thickness is found near the junction of river Thirumanimuthar and river Cauvery. Several faults and shears are occurring mostly with north east-southwest trend. They are expected to influence the course of groundwater movement, its storage and developmental potentials in the district. The geological map of the study area is given below.

Mineral Wealth of Namakkal District:

Theni District has limited occurrence of minerals like limestone, magnesite, bauxite etc .

The available minor minerals are granite charnockite (roughstone), sand and quartz feldspar.

Granite:

Granite is found in mainly Paramathivelur Taluk. Generally, two type off granite are mined commercially viz. normal granite (Leuco Granite) and multi coloured granite. The normal variety is light colour, coarse grained, mainly non foliated but developed crude foliation at places, hard and compact, composed of quartz, orthoclase and rich in plagioclase with little amount of hornblende and intruded criss cross by thin quartz veins. These are per-aluminous to meta- aluminous A-type granitiods of Neo-Proterozoic age. Multicoloured granites are mainly migmatite. These are pink to red colour, coarse grained, foliated, exhibit flow structure, ptygmatic folding, composed of quartz plagioclase and rich in orthoclase with less amount of garnet and amphibole. Due to migmatisation, the rock exhibits beautiful colour banding and high demand in market. In Sollipalayam Village, multicoloured granite quarries are noticed.

Charnockite (Rough stone): Charnockite and granitic gneisses are extensively quarried as rough stone which is used as aggregates for construction of building, laying of roads and for preparation of value added products like hollow blocks, pillar stones, M-sand etc. Charnockite occurs as massive bodies, greyish colour, medium to coarse grained, composed quartz, feldspar and orthopyroxene. At places, metamorphic gneissic banding (alternate dark and black colour) in charnockite is noticed. Top portion, it gives gneissic appearance but 1- 5m depth below it is typical charnockite of grey colour. Rough stone quarries are seen mainly in Rasipuram, Namakkal, Senthamanglam, Tiruchengode and few in Paramathivelur.

Limestone: Crystalline limestone/ calc gneiss occurs as an enclave within the horneblende biotite gneiss/ fissile biotite gneiss (Bhabani Gneiss) and pink migmatite in the distirct. These are small band, lenses, boudinage with strike length of 100m to 2 km and limited width. These are formed from recrystallisation of impure limestone/ calcareous sediments due to metamorphism. Many places, crystalline limestones are traversed by later quartz and pegmatite veins. On surface, crystalline limestone/ calc gneiss showed ribbed type weathering pattern. Basically, two type limestone are found i.e. Greyish white colour limestone and pink colour limestone. The greyish- white limestone found in the study area comprises of calcite, quartz, diopside and garnet. Calcite is the dominating mineral, which is completely recrystallized and thus producing a granoblastic texture. Calcite crystals occur as equigranular crystals and euhedral in shape. They show perfect rhombohedral cleavage. The primary assemblages of the grayish-white limestone are calcite + quartz + diopside. Philpotts (1990) explained that, such mineral assemblages belong to amphibolite to granulite facies of metamorphism.

Similar to the greyish-white limestone, the pink limestone also composed predominantly of calcite. The pink colour is due to presence of about 2% of iron impurities +2 (Fe ) in the lattice of calcite. A perfect rhombohedral cleavage and symmetrical extinction suggest complete recrystallisation. The grains are anhedral and show granoblastic texture. The quartz in pink limestone is less dominant as compared to the greyish-white limestone. The pyroxenes attached to the rock are present as accessory minerals. The typical pyroxene occurring is diopside, The pyroxenes are exhibiting cataclastic texture. The mineral assemblage of the pink limestone is calcite + quartz + diopside, which also reflects amphibolite to granulite facies of metamorphism.

The calc-gneiss occurs as host rock for the crystalline limestone formation. As observed from the hand specimen, the rock consists of alternating bands of light and dark

63 coloured minerals, thus, showing a typical gneissic structure. The mineral assemblage of the calc-gneiss is quartz, plagioclase, calcite and hornblende along with the clinopyroxenes. The quartz is generally anhedral showing its peculiar wavy extinction. The plagioclase mineral in the rock is bytownite, showing a twin lamellae and the extinction angle of 29°. The mineralogical assemblages of the rock are quartz + plagioclase + hornblende + pyroxene.

Magnesite: Magnesite (MgCO3) occurs as veins in and as an alteration product of ultramafic rocks, serpentinite, dunite and other magnesium rich rock types, in both contact and regional metamorphic terrains. Magnesite is chiefly used as refractory materials. It is also used as a slag former in steelmaking furnaces, in conjunction with lime, in order to protect the magnesium lining. Magnesite can also be used as a binder in flooring material. It can also be used as a catalyst and filler in the production of synthetic rubber and in the preparation of magnesium chemicals and fertilizers. These rocks are highly weathered and give yellowish colour soil with kankar/calcrete. Magnesite veins are very thin 1-5cm width and irregularly traversed in the host rock. Two quarries are found in Namakkal district. In Naraikinaru village, magnesite was mined from dunite body of 1201-150m length exposed within horneblende biotite gneiss. Basically it is a differentiated sequence of Pyroxenite-Dunite- Peridotite. In Sittampundi village, magnesite was mined from dunite.

Quartz-Feldspar: Quartz and feldspar spar are extensively mined for Glass industry, steel industry and Pottery manufacturing. These are occurred as younger intrusive (Vein and reef type) within host like hornblende biotite gneiss, anorthosite, limestone etc. These veins have more than hundred meters of strike length but limited width. Mineralogically, it composed of Quartz (Smooky, transparent, milky varities), feldspar (orthoclase, plagioclase) and less mica books. Transparent verity contains more 95% of silica with 1-2% iron hence readily used in glass industry. Pink feldspar (Orthoclase) is its main application being as a constituent of both body and glaze in true porcelain, white ware, and vitrified sanitary ware and of the "slip" (underglaze) and glaze in so-called "porcelain" sanitary ware and enamelled brick. The amount of feldspar in the body of these wares generally falls between 15 and 35 per cent, though in some it is less and in some more. In glazes the percentage of feldspar is as a rule between 30 and 50.
