6. PROCESS OF DEPOSITION OF SEDIMENTS IN THE RIVERS OF THE DISTRICT

The deposition of sediments in the River mainly occurs during the Rainy Season. The quantum of deposition varies from River to River and is dependent on many factors like lithology & extent of catchment area, rain fall, discharge, river profile and geomorphology of the river course.

The deposition of sediments (fluvial) in the River comprises of three stages viz. weathering & erosion, transportation and deposition. A river/stream in its course erodes the country rocks through which it flows at early stage in hilly terrain when velocity of River is very high. Erosion comprises of mechanical as well as chemical process. These eroded sediments then transported by river in suspension or solution until the river runs outs of its capacity to transport. When river enters to plane land, its velocity gets checked due to widening of its channel and deposition of sediments takes place.

In addition to above, following important factors also effects the deposition of sediments in a River - i. Annual Rainfall ii. Geographical Relief iii. Lithology of the river course iv. Discharge of river and its tributaries v. Activities nearby rivers (Man-made activities; forestation/ deforestation, mining, Ghats etc.) vi. Engineering structures (Dams, diversions etc.) vii. Climatic conditions.

11. GEOLOGY AND MINERAL WEALTH

Geology – Geologically the area is mainly comprised of granites and gneisses of Archaean Age. The other rock type exposed in the region consist of mica schist, amphibolites, dolerites, pegmatite and quartz veins. In the uplands considerable thickness of laterite of Pleistocene age is also found along with the granite and gneisses. Alluvium of recent to sub-recent age is found in the river valley. A generalised geological succession of the area is summarised below –

Sub - Recent to Recent - Alluvium / Soil / Sand Pleistocene - Laterite

Pegmatites & Quartz vein Dolerite Archaean Migmatites & Granite gneiss Amphibolite Mica & other Schist

Mineral Wealth – The Jharkhand state is known for its rich mineral resources. However, presences of significant minerals are yet to be explored in the District. The main mineral resources found in the Simdega district are General Stones, Brick Clays & River sand. The possibility of Ornamental Granite is also in the district for which Directorate of Geology is doing exploration. At some place Laterite is also available in the district. Larnprophyre dykes are reported from the Precambrian rnetamorphites of the Chotanagpur Gneissic Complex near Simdega & Gumla district, Jharkhand. Petrological and petrochemical studies indicate that they are calealkaline larnprophyres. The economic significance of these lamprophyres is discussed in light of-their proximity to (i) the gold prospects in its strike continuity and (ii) reported occurrences of diamonds in the major drainage basins of the region. (Source- JOUR GEOL SOC lNDlA V 01.63 JUNE 2004) Geological Survey of India (GSI) has undertaken exploration of Diamonds in bed in Simdega. GSI has identified Simdega to have huge and promising Diamond Deposits. De Beers and Jindal Group have identified Simdega for Diamond exploration and mining in Jharkhand and has obtained a reconnaissance permit to undertake preliminary exploration of precious metals like gold, including stones such as diamonds in Simdega. But significant output of all these efforts may come in future.

16. CATEGORIZATION OF SAND DEPOSITS OF UNSETALLED GHATS OF SIMDEGA DISTRICT AS PER JHARKHAND STATE SAND MINING POLICIY 2017 As per directive given in the workshop held in the Meeting hall of Project Building, Ranchi on 23/08/ 2017, in the first phase of survey, the committee has visited & surveyed the all nine unsettled sand ghats of Simdega district. Out of these nine unsettled sand ghats, one ghat was merged to nearby adjacent ghat making the number of unsettled ghats to eight. Among these eight sand ghats, five ghats are very small and have very less sand deposit to utilize it commercially. The width of these sand deposit are also very less. Therefore, these Sand Deposits are kept in Category -1 by the Committee irrespective of their stream order in which they are occurring. During the survey, it is also noticed that deposition of sand in the district is negligible in the 1st and 2nd order of stream. So, the Committee has placed five non potential sand deposits in Category -1 for non – commercial use. The rest three Ghats have sufficient amount sand deposit and the committee has place them in to Category -2 for commercial use and also recommended for mineral concession in the District Survey Report. The river wise potential of Category -1 and Category -2 Sand deposit has been given below :-

17. RECOMMENDATIONS:

As in the first phase of survey, the committee has visited & surveyed unsettled sand ghats only, it is decided by the committee that Rest Rivers (settled, new or cancelled) of the district should also be visited & surveyed by the committee in regular manner for preparation of complete District Survey Report River sand.
