RAMARAJU University Visveswaraya College of Engineering (UVCE), Jnanabharathi Campus, Bangalore University, Bangalore-560056, Karnataka, India [email protected] Abstract The sanitation coverage in rural households of India is very low. A field study was carried out in the Kolar Gold Field mining residential area. The residents of the study area depend on bore wells and resort to septic tanks for disposal of domestic waste. The main objective of this study is to assess the impact of septic tanks/low cost sanitation systems on groundwater and soil environment in the unsaturated zones of the soil. The hydraulic conductivity of the soil in the study area varied from 0.13 to 0.31 m day-1. Higher concentration of nitrates and chlorides in well waters show that groundwater is getting contaminated with on-site sanitation effluents. Higher concentrations of major metals, salts and gases were also observed because the geology of the particular area has influence on the quality of water. Based on the investigations, appropriate technological options are proposed. Key words bacteriological; hydrogeological; infiltration; nitrification; onsite sanitation systems; unsaturated zones; weathered rock INTRODUCTION Water for human consumption is perhaps becoming more vulnerable due to various strains on its qualitative and quantitative counts. Different types of pollution are making the issue more complicated and costly for mitigation.

It was P. Nagabhushanam1,*, Prabhakar Sangurmath2, M. L. Patil2 and B. S. Sukhija1 1National Geophysical Research Institute, Habshiguda, Uppal Road, Hyderabad 500 606, India 2The Hutti Gold Mines Co. Ltd., Hutti 584 115, India Present gold-producing centres of India have witnessed ancient and modern mining activities. The presence of wood logs, ash, charcoal and pottery in ancient gold mines of Kolar, Hutti and Uti suggests fire setting was the main mode of gold exploitation of ancient miners. In the absence of historical records pertaining to the episodes of ancient mining activity in Karnataka, wood material found in the ancient gold workings were used to constrain the episodes of mining activity. We have radiocarbon (14C) dated a wood log from the Uti gold mines, which reveals that the ancient mining activity here dates back to AD 660–780. This date from Uti mine together with the earlier published 14C dates from Kolar fields imply that the ancient gold mining activity was contemporaneous at these places, while the Hutti fields were exploited during the early part of the Christian era. Keywords: Ancient gold mining, Christian era, Kolar, radiocarbon, Uti gold mine. INDIA’S major gold producer is M/s Hutti Gold Mines Co.

  • Final Report Role of Blast Design Parameters on Ground Vibration And
    Final Report Role of blast design parameters on ground vibration and correlation of vibration level to blasting damage to surface structures S&T Project: MT/134/02 Project Leader Dr. G.R. Adhikari Co-investigators Dr. H.S. Venkatesh A.I. Theresraj Surendra Roy R. Balachander Nitin Kumar Jain Project Advisor Prof. R.N. Gupta Implementing Agency National Institute of Rock Mechanics Collaborating Agencies Western Coalfields Limited Singareni Collieries Company Limited September 2005 Report on Ground Vibration MT/134/02 ABSTRACT Ground vibration induced by blasting is a serious environmental issue in Indian mines. With the increasing production targets from surface mining, it is likely to be compounded in future unless pro-active measures are taken to mitigate the problem. In response to the need of the mining industry, an S&T (Coal) project was undertaken by National Institute of Rock Mechanics (NIRM) in collaboration with Western Coalfields Limited (WCL) and Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL). The main objectives of this project were: 1) to establish a rational damage criterion for surface structures with reference to Indian conditions, and 2) to suggest measures for effective control of ground vibration due to blasting. The first step in this study involved analysis of the data available with NIRM on ground vibration due to blasting at different surface mines. The analysis revealed that the dominant frequency in coal bearing strata was low (< 8 Hz) and hence the permissible peak particle velocity as per the current DGMS standard is 5 mm/s. In complying with such a low statutory limit, coal mines located close to surface structures are struggling for their survival.

  • Kolar District
    KOLAR DISTRICT CHAPTER I GENERAL OLAR, which is the headquarters town of the district and by Origin o'f K which name the district is also called, was known as D,ame ' Kolahala ', ' Kuvalala ' and 'Kolala' in the former times. There are varying accounts as to how the t:.wn got its name and three _of them are narrated below. According to a legend, Arjuna, son of Kritavirya, also called Kartaviryarjuna to distinguish him from Arjuna of Mahabharata fame, was ruling over a kingdom which included the Kolar a:.rea. This king had a boon conferred on him by sage Dl'.hltatraya, which gave him a thous~md arms and other mighty powers with which he oppressed both human beings and Devatas. Kartaviryarjuna is said to have humbled even Ravana, the mighty king of Lanka, by seizing and tying him up. About this time lived sage Jamadagni (nephew of Vishwamitra), who had married Renuka, daughter of the king Prasenajit. The couple had five sons, the last of whom was Parashurama or Rama with the axe. Sage Jamadagni had in his care Surabhi, the celestial cow of plenty given to him by Indra, which had the miraculous power to ,give all tltat was asked for. Karttwiryarjuna in one of his hunting expeditions chanced to visit the ashrama of Jamadagni and the sage regaled him in such a magnificent manner that his curiosity was roused and he was not satisfied till he learnt the secret about the heavenly animal and its powers. Avarice took l10ld of king Kartavir~ yarjuna and he demanded the cow for himsel:t.

  • Prospects for Development of New Gold Mines in the Neoarchaean and Mesoproterozoic Fold Belts of India
    Prospects for Development of New Gold Mines in the Neoarchaean and Mesoproterozoic Fold Belts of India V.N.Vasudev, Geomysore Services (India) Pvt. Ltd.; Deccan Gold Mines Ltd., & Australian Indian Resources Ltd., Perth, W.A., E-mail: [email protected] India’s contribution to the world mine production of gold is insignificant being about 2.50 tonnes per annum which is produced from one major mine and its two satellite mines viz. (i) Hutti Gold Mines in Karnataka and it’s two satellites-Hira-Buddini and Uti. The demand for Gold in India is the highest in the world. One third of the global annual gold production of about 2,700 tonnes gets into India. Thus, gold plays an important role in our national economy. The gold import bill of India is about 37 billion dollars. This is one of the factors behind India’s high Current Account Deficit. Gold mining has the potential to convert a more or less continuously depreciating currency into an asset representing “neat” foreign exchange. Therefore, it would be in the national interest to establish more gold mines and maximize production even if the break even cost of production equals the rupee equivalent of the international bullion price in view of the other significant direct and indirect benefits of mining gold in rural India. India is historically recognized as one of the oldest gold mining centres in the world. The ancient Indian gold mining history could be 6,000 to 8,000 years old. Ancient Indians mined and panned for gold at over 900 locations over the length & breadth of India.
