It is bounded by Arabian Sea on the West, on the North by Ratnagiri district, on the East by Kolhapur district and part of Karnataka, on South by the S tate of Goa. Sindhudurg district, which was, till recently, that is May l, 198 1, southern part of Ratnag iri district and forms a part of the region, classically known as the ' Southern Mahratta Country'. It was first studie d by Wilkinson ( 1 8 71) and Foote ( 1876). In subsequent years, sporadic papers, comprising essentially of preliminary r e ports on the Ge ology of r e stricte d areas, h ave b een publishe d. Pascoe (1922) reported the occurrence of Kaolin near Malvan. Iyer (1939) reported the occurrence of clay f rom Vengurla suitable for c e ramic purpose s. Howeve r, n o attempt has been made to study in detail the mineralogy and industrial propertie s of clays exposed in the s e parts. In a n atte mpt to study the clays assoc iate d with g r a nitic rocks, the present investig ation has been undertaken. 2 Location The area covered by the present investigations, about 5,000 sq kms in extent, is bounded by latitudes 15°38' N and 16°42' N and longitudes 73°20' E and 74°15' E.

  • Potential of Wave Energy Power Plants Along Maharashtra Coast
    POTENTIAL OF WAVE ENERGY POWER PLANTS ALONG MAHARASHTRA COAST SUDHIR KUMAR Maharashtra Energy Development Agency 191-A, MHADA Commercial Complex, Yerawada, PUNE - 411 006, INDIA. Tel.No. :020-683633/4, Fax : 683631 E-Mail : [email protected] Website : http://www.mahaurja.com ABSTRACT Sea waves are the result of transfer of mechanical energy of wind to wave energy. The wave quality varies for different periods and seasons. It is possible to have a realistic formula to calculate the overall wave energy potential. A general study of the wave nature has shown that there is potential of 40,000 MW along the Indian Coast. Similar study along the coast of Maharashtra State has shown that there are some potential sites such as Vengurla rocks, Malvan rocks, Redi, Pawas, Ratnagiri and Girye which have the average annual wave energy potential of 5 to 8 kW/m and monsoon potential of 15 to 20 kW/m. Considering this, the total potential along the 720 KM stretch of Maharashtra Coast is approximately 500 MW for wave energy power plants. Fortunately, after the decades of research and development activities all over the world, now some technologies are available commercially. Taking advantage of the situation, we need to exploit the possibility of the wave energy power plants at the identified sites by inviting the proposals from private investors / promoters / technology providers from all over the world. Approximately, they attract the private investment to the tune of Rs. 3000 crores. The Govt. of Maharashtra and Govt. of India, plans to announce the policies to attract private investors in this field on BOO (build own operate) basis.
