  • Sedimentological Characterization of Nagavali-Vamsadhra Estuarine System, East Coast of India, Andhra Pradesh
    Studia Rosenthaliana (Journal for the Study of Research) ISSN NO: 1781-7838 Sedimentological Characterization of Nagavali-Vamsadhra Estuarine System, East Coast of India, Andhra Pradesh Gara Raja Rao1, Yamala Vinay Kumar2, Vaggela Asha3, Sanapala Harikrishna3, Mokka Jagannadha Rao4 1 Assistant Professor, Department of Geology, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam. 2,3 Research Scholar, Department of Geology, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam. 4 Professor, Department of Geology, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam. Abstract: The importance of textural characteristics of estuarine sediments in the present study is useful in understanding the intensity of sediment transportation in the fluvial systems. The importance of grain size parameters of the sediments is well recognized in sedimentology and has been well established. The present study illustrates the detailed textural characterization of Nagavali and Vamsadhara estuarine sediments of East Coast of India, Srikakulam, Tamil Nadu. The textural studies reflect that the sediments have significant fractions of fine to medium sand, silt and clay, where fine sand is predominant in both the estuaries. The statistical sedimentary analysis for the samples say mean size, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis is carried out. The sediment is dominantly fine sand with moderately sorted, nearly skewed in Nagavali estuary whereas the sand is very well sorted and nearly symmetrical in Vamsadhara estuarine sediments. The sediments of both are similar in size and show low variance. The present study suggests that the sediments were deposited in low energy conditions. The Nagavali estuary samples shows nearly symmetrical skewness and the Vamsadhara estuary samples shows nearly symmetrical to positive skewness. Negative Skewness was being correlated with high energy and winnowing action and positive Skewness with lower energy levels.

This Cave is fast becoming a hot tourist‟s destination offering great adventurous opportunity to the tourists in the Eastern Ghats. The cave is located in the Ananthagiri hills of the Eastern Ghats region near Visakhapattanam and is made of limestone. The emotion of thrill heightens after entering the cave. The entrance has a narrow vertical opening and is well lit. Due to its location in the sub-equatorial region, dripping of water from the cave roofs occurs almost throughout the year. The formation of stalactites and stalagmites create wonderful phenomena specially found in this cave. The conspicuous pillars formed due to the joining of the roof and the floors are an awe-inspiring creativity of the creator of this world. Various viruses and bacteria are in the cave interior along with different other creatures. The Borra cave helps the Govt. of Andhra Pradesh, India, to earn huge economic benefits for the sake of tourism industry. Keywords: Cave, stalactite, stalagmite, virus, bacteria Introduction Caves have always hunted the imagination of mankind already from the start of human history; these natural formations provided shelter to early man and were sought after earnestly, to provide a „safe home‟.

  • Grain Size Distribution of Coastal Sands Between Gosthani and Champavathi Rivers Confluence, East Coast of India, Andhra Prades
    J. Ind. Geophys. Union ( May 2016Grain ) Size Distribution of Coastal Sands between Gosthani and Champavathi v.20, no.3, pp: 351-361 Rivers Confluence, East Coast of India, Andhra Pradesh Grain Size Distribution of Coastal Sands between Gosthani and Champavathi Rivers Confluence, East Coast of India, Andhra Pradesh Bangaku Naidu, K.,* Reddy, K.S.N., Ravi Sekhar, Ch., Ganapati Rao, P., and Murali Krishna, K.N. Department of Geology, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam-530003 *Corresponding Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The studies on grain size characteristics are valuable to understand the source for the evolution of coastal sand environments. Seventy one sediment samples from twenty traverses of costal sediments in between Gosthani River mouth in south and Champavathi River in the north (Lat.17º52'-18º.02' N; Long.83º26'- 83º36' E) have been collected and studied. The coastal sediments are medium to fine grained (1.68 Ø – 2.80Ø), very well sorted to moderately well sorted (0.26Ø – 0.67Ø), strongly coarse to fine skewed (-0.63 Ø to 0.31Ø) and pltykurtic to leptokurtic (0.74Ø – 1.27Ø) in nature and deposited in moderate to high energy environment conditions with dominant rolling, bottom and graded suspension mechanisms. The observations are supported by the frequency distribution curves, CM plots and scatter plots between parameters, conforming to the bimodal nature to dominant fine sand in different microenvironments (dune, backshore, berm, and foreshore). These textural parameters have been further examined to understand the hydrodynamic

Tatipudi Reservoir Project was constructed across Gosthani River, With a water spread area of 2600 ha at FRL receiving water from catchment area .The project is aimed to irrigate a total ayacut of 15,378 acres (62 km2) in Vizianagaram District and to provide drinking water to Visakhapatnam City. The Project utilizes 3.325 tmcft of the available water and the reservoir storage capacity is about 3 tmcft. The Gosthani rises in the Ananthagiri Hills of the Eastern Ghats and flows through the Borra Caves which flows down in the form of a river passing 120 km before joining the Bay of Bengal through an estuary near Bheemunipatnam. The Reservoir is about 10 Kms from S Kota. The reservoir has been identified under National Wetland Conservation Programme by Ministry of Environment and Forests (Govt. Of India). The reservoir supports rich biodiversity including fishes and birds.

  • Chapter Ii Vizianagaram
    CHAPTER II VIZIANAGARAM - THE LOCAL ENVIRONMENT 33 VIZIANAGARAM - THE LOCAL ENVIRONMENT Vizianagaram is situated half way between Calcutta and Madras, 507 miles from Calcutta and 522 from Madras. It was in the Vizagapatam District of the then Madras state with an area of more than 18,000 square miles and a population of 2,610,000.' Vizianagaram is situated in latitude 18°.2" North, and longitude 83° 32" east; at twelve miles distance from the sea. The garrison at this time consists of one Regiment of Native Infantry. At the distance of one mile from the cantonment, which is placed on ground sloping gently to the northward, are the fort and town, and laying midway is a large tank (Pedda Cheruvu), which contains water at all seasons of the year. The fort is entirely occupied by the palace and buildings of the Maharaja. The station contains about twenty officers' houses; the compounds are very prettily laid out with gardens, and surrounded with trim hedges. There is a small church; a chaplain is allowed for the station, but he is required to visit Bhimlipatam and Chicacole, two Sundays each month.^ Climate: Generally the climate of the time is nonnal, without extreme atmospheric variations. But at some seasons in an year, especially in the wintry months it is a bit less. To the north of the town there are hills and hillocks at a distance of about six miles that connect the Eastern Ghats. There 34 are few patches of shrub jungles nearby. The best season with average climate IS from September to March, Summer sets in April when the weather becomes hot and the hot winds commence blowing from the middle of the month.

II || May 2018 || PP 39-49 Granulometric Characteristics of Estuary bar Sediments of the Gosthani River, Bhimunipatnam,East Coast ofIndia T. Karuna Karudu1and M. Jagannadha Rao2 1Delta Studies Institute, 2Department ofGeology, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam Corresponding Author:T. KarunaKarudu Abstract: The granulometric characteristics of the sediments of estuary bars of the Gostani River (lat. 17. 56' – 17.54' N: long. 83 26'- 83 28' E) have been carried out. A total of forty three samples were collected along the river profile from upper estuary and lower estuary. The upper estuary bar indicates that the sediments possess a coarse sand (0.77 Ø); moderately sorted (0.79 Ø); negatively skewed (-0.17 Ø) and leptokurtic (1.21 Ø) and lower estuary bar sediments are medium sand (1.73 Ø), moderately sorted (0.70 Ø); symmetrical skewed (0.07 Ø) and mesokurtic (1.03Ø). Frequency distribution curves and scatter plots clearly established that the sediments are of unimodal nature and are having medium sand in lower estuary bar and coarse sand with weakly bimodal nature in upper estuary bar. The sediments are deposited under tractive current conditions with dominant rolling mechanism in upper estuary bar sediments and graded and bottom suspension in lower estuary bar. Costal wave dynamics and seasonal shifting of estuary mouth causes the variations in the texture of the sediments.
