CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

Nagpur is the winter capital of the state of Maharashtra, a fast growing metropolis and third largest city in Maharashtra after Mumbai and Pune. With a population of 2,405,421 (2011) Nagpur Metropolitan Area is the 13th largest urban conglomeration in India. It has also recently been ranked as the cleanest city and the second greenest city of India. In addition to being the seat of annual winter session of Maharashtra state assembly “Vidhan Sabha”, Nagpur is also a major commercial and political center of the Vidharbha region of Maharashtra, and is also famous throughout the country as “Orange City” for being a major trade center of oranges that are cultivated in the region. In addition, the city also derives political importance from being the headquarters for the RSS and an important location for the Buddhistmovement. The city was founded by the Gonds but later became part of the Maratha Empire under the Bhonsles. The British East India Company took over Nagpur in the 19th century and made it the capital of the Central Provinces and Berar. After the first reorganization of states, the city lost its capital status but according to the “Nagpur Pact” between political leaders it was made the second capital of Maharashtra.

Pic 1: Central Provinces and Berar, 1903. Nagpur is also called, “Tiger Capital of India” as it connects many Tiger Reserves in India to the world. It is among the important cities for IT sector in Maharashtra after Pune. Nagpur lies precisely at the center of the country with the Zero Mile Marker indicating the geographical center ofIndia. Princely states are shown in yellow. The Nag River, a tributary of the Kanhan River, flows in a serpentine path and is therefore named “Nag”, the Marathi word for snake. And hence, the river and city is named as Nagpur. While others says that the river flows through

1 the old city of Nagpur and hence the city is named after this river. “Pur” is a common suffix given to cities, villages and towns across India, and is often simply translated “city” The seal of Nagpur Municipal Corporation depicts a cobra in the water of a river. Human existence around present day Nagpur city can be traced back 3000 years to 8th century BC. Mehir burial sites at Drugdhamna (near Mhada colony) indicate megalithic culture existed around Nagpur and is still followed in present times. The first reference to the name Nagpur is found in a 10th century copper-plate inscription discovered at Devali in the neighbouring Wardha district. The inscription is a record of grant of a village situated in the visaya (district) of Nagpura-Nandivardhana during time of Rastrakuta king Krsna III in the Saka year 862 (940 CE). Towards the end of third century King Vakataka dynasty, Vindhyasakti is known to have ruled the Nagpur region. In the 4th century Vakataka Dynasty ruled over the Nagpur region and surrounding areas and had good relations with the Gupta Empire. The Vakataka king Prithvisena I moved his capital to Nagardhan (ancient name Nandivardhana), located at 28 kilometres (17 mi) from Nagpur. After the Vakatakas, the region came under the rule of the Hindu kingdoms of the Badami Chalukyas, the Rashtrakutas, and finally the Yadavas. In AD 1296 Allauddin Khilji invaded the Yadava Kingdom after capturing Deogiri, after which the Tughlaq Dynasty came to power in 1317. In the 17th century, the Mughal Empire conquered the region. However, regional administration was carried out by the Gond kingdom of Deogarh- Nagpur in the Chhindwara district of the modern-day state of MadhyaPradesh. Recent history ascribes the founding of Nagpur to Bakht Buland, a prince of the kingdom of Deogarh-Nagpur. The next Raja of Deogarh was Chand Sultan, who resided principally in the country below the hills, fixing his capital at Nagpur which he made a walled town. On Chand Sultan’s death in 1739, Wali Shah, an illegitimate son of Bakht Buland, usurped the throne and Chand Sultan’s widow invoked the aid of the Maratha leader Raghuji Bhonsle of Berar in the interest of her sons Akbar Shah and Burhan Shah. The usurper was put to death and the rightful heirs placed on the throne. After 1743, a series of Maratha rulers came to power, starting with Raghoji Bhonsle, who conquered the territories of Deogarh, Chanda and Chhattisgarh by 1751. In 1803 Raghoji II joined the Peshwa against the British in the Second Anglo-Maratha War, but the British prevailed. After Raghoji II’s death in 1816, his son Parsaji was deposed and murdered by Mudhoji II. Despite the fact that he had entered into a treaty with the British in the same year, Mudhoji joined the Peshwa in the Third Anglo-Maratha War in 1817 against the British, but suffered a defeat at Sitabuldi in present-day Nagpur city. The

2 fierce battle was a turning point as it laid the foundations of the downfall of the Bhonsles and paved the way for the British acquisition of Nagpur city. Mudhoji was deposed after a temporary restoration to the throne, after which the British placed Raghoji III the grandchild of Raghoji II, on the throne. During the rule of Raghoji III (which lasted till 1840), the region was administered by a British resident. In 1853, the British took control of Nagpur after Raghoji III died without leaving an heir. From 1853 to 1861, the Nagpur Province (which consisted of the present Nagpur region,Chhindwara, and Chhatisgarh) became part of the Central Provinces and Berar and came under the administration of a commissioner under the British central government, with Nagpur as its capital. Berar was added in 1903. Tata group started the country’s first textile mill at Nagpur, formally known as Central India Spinning and Weaving Company Ltd. The company was popularly known as “Empress Mills” as it was inaugurated on 1 January 1877, the day queen Victoria was proclaimed Empress ofIndia. The Non-cooperation movement was launched in the Nagpur session of 1920. After Indian Independence in 1947, Central Provinces and Berar became a province of India, and in 1950 became the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, again with Nagpur as its capital. However, when the Indian states were reorganised along the linguistic lines in 1956, Nagpur and Berar regions were transferred to Bombay state, which in 1960 was split between the states of Maharashtra andGujarat. At a formal public ceremony on 14 October 1956 in Nagpur B. R. Ambedkar along with his supporters converted to Buddhism starting Dalit Buddhist movement which is still active. Nagpur is a city with great capabilities to grow and prosper in the coming days. It is very important for State and Central Governments to contribute to the growth, development, prosperity of Nagpur. Nagpur completed 300 years of establishment in the year 2002. A big celebration was organized to mark theevent.

History and Culture: Kalidas Festival: Kalidas Festival is celebrated annually at Ramtek and Nagpur for two days in the month of November. Organized by MTDC in association with the District Collectorate Office of Nagpur, this festival of Music, Dance and Drama is held to honour Kalidasa. Kalidas was a great Sanskrit poet and dramatist of India, renowned for his historical drama Shakuntalam, Kumaarasambhava, Ritusamhaara and for the epic poem Meghdoot alias Meghdootam.

It is said the picturesque Ramtek has inspired Kalidas to write his famous literary work,Meghdootam. During Kalidas festival, celebrities of music, dance and drama gathered here to perform their talent. The festival brings back memories of the golden period of the Vidarbha region. People from different parts of India come here to attend the festival with fullenthusiasm.

Main attraction of Nagardhan is the Nagardhan Fort, supposed to be built by Raja Raghuji Bhonsle, a maratha king of the Bhonsale dynasty. The square shaped palace inside the fort has an outer rampart with bastions and had

4 an inner wall surrounding the buildings. The maingateofthefortonthenorth-west Side is still ingoodcondition.Inside the fort, nearby the palace there is a well which has two levels underground for people to stay with proper rooms. It also houses an idol of goddess Durga.

The area surrounding the hillock is now known as Sitabuldi and is an important commercial hub forNagpur. Inside the fort one can find graves of numerous British soldiers and a cell where Mahatma Gandhi was imprisoned. At present, Sitabuldi fort is the home to the office of the Territorial Army. The fort opens to the general public only on two national holidays- 26th January and 15th August.

The Zero Mile Stone was erected by the British who used this point to measure all the distances.The Zero Mile Stone consists of four horses and a pillar made up of sandstone. It is located on the southeast of VidhanBhavan, Nagpur.

The English rulers considered Nagpur as the center of India and hence identified this point and constructed the Zero Mile Stone. Being at the center of the country, they also had a plan to make Nagpur the second capital city.

Pic 6: Zero Mile, Nagpur Marbat Festival: Marbat Festival held especially in the Nagpur city, is an important festival in this region which is celebrated to protect the city from evil spirits. During the festival, people of Nagpur venerate their God to save them from the evil spirits and they make statues of evil forces. These statues are taken to a vast ground as a procession, from all the areas of the city. They are burnt together on a belief that the city would be free from all types of evils. People purchase and wear new attires and ornaments on that day and women prepare delicious delicacies and distribute to everyone. Various cultural activities such as dance, drama etc are also organized during the festival.

CHAPTER 2

OVERVIEW OF MINING ACTIVITY IN THE DISTRICT

Nagpur district is moderately rich in minerals. Deposits of Coal, Manganese Ore, Dolomite, Clay, Copper Ore, Chromites, Tungsten Ore, Zinc Ore and Quartz etc. are found in the district. Coal reserves have been found in the North-West belt of the district i.e. from Saoner to Kanhan, Kamptee. Apart from this the high grade coal found in Umred tahsil. Nagpur district is richly endowed with Manganese ore and the district is well placed in the country as far as production of Manganese ore is concerned. Manganese ore is found particularly in Ramtek and Saoner and Parshivani tahsils. Good quality limestones are found in Kandri and Deolapar, Mica and Tungsten are also found in the district.

Table 1: Showing no. of Mining leases in the district: Sr.No. Mineral No of Mines 1 Manganese Ore 35 2 Coal 05 3 Dolomite 16 4 White Clay 02 5 Quartz& Quartzite 02 6 Sand (Stowing) 03 7 Stone Quarries (Leases) 196

The sand from Kanhan River is considered to be of high quality as far as the construction of buildings is concerned.As such the demand of minor mineral in the District started an increasing trend. The increase could be gauged from the fact that during year 16-17 the royalty receipt on minor mineral was merely Rs. 5.15 crores which has increased to Rs. 10.72 crores (Approx.) in the year 17-18. The details of royalty collected from minor mineral from 2015-2016 to 2019-2020 (up to Feb 2020) are given in the Chapter 5.

The quantity of minor mineral consumption is a thermometer to assess the quantity of developmental activities being undertaken in a particular area. In order to meet the requirement of raw material for construction, the extraction of sand, stone and bajri is being carried out exclusively from the river beds and stone quarries respectively. The demand of sand is mainly met through by river borne sand whereas the demand of bajri/grit is either met through river borne collection or through manufactured grit by stone crushers. The demand of dressed or undressed stone is met through the broken rock material from the hill slope. The

7 local residents used to lift gravel etc. from the river beds to meet out their bonafide requirement. However after coming into being the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 (67 of 1957) and Maharashtra Minor Mineral Extraction (Development and Regulation)Rules, 2013, and Revised sand Mining Policy dated 03/09/2019 for sand mining projects as the mining was allowed in accordance to the rules.

CHAPTER 5. DETAILS OF PRODUCTION OF SAND OR BAJRI OR MINOR MINERAL

In Nagpur district number of development project like Railway, Metro Rail, Ring Roads, Outer ring roads, Samruddhi Express Highway and so on are going on, which requires a large quantity of minor mineral - stone (metal), murrom, soil, sand; for construction purpose. This lead to increasing demand for the minor minerals which can be easily verified from the royalty collected from during last five years (refer Chapter 4). The details of production are as follows.

CHAPTER- 6. PROCESS OF DEPOSITION OF SEDIMENTS IN THE RIVERS OF THE DISTRICT Deposition is the opposite of erosion. Deposition is where a river lays down or drops the Sediments or material that it is carrying. Rivers carries lots of different sediments, including rocks, boulders, silt, mud, pebbles and stones. Normally, a river has the power to carry sediments. If the force of a river drops, the river cannot carry sediment. This is when the river deposits its sediment. Constituents of minor mineral The work done by a river consists of the following 1) Erosion 2) Transport of the material produced by erosion 3) Accumulation (deposition) of the transported material Constituents of minor mineral

The work done by a river consists of the following processes: The erosion and transport of material go hand in hand with the deposition of the latter. There is not a single river that doesn’t carry fragmental material and deposit it. Even at the early stages, in the development of a river, when the erosion and transport definitely prevails over accumulation, the material carried by the river is deposited in some of the sections. During youthful stage of the river, these deposits are unstable and when the volume of water and stream velocity increases (during flood), they may start moving again downstream. The load carried by a stream includes the rock waste supplied to it by rain wash, surface creep, slumping etc. by tributaries , external agents such as glaciers, wind, together with, acquired by its own erosion work. The term load doesn’t specifically mean the maximum amount of debris, that a stream could carry in a given set of conditions, that amount is referred to as the transporting power or capacity of a river.

37

The term load is technically defined as the total weight of solid detritus transported in unit time. The transporting capacity of a stream rises very rapidly as the discharge and the velocity increases. Experiments show that with debris of mixed shapes and sizes, the maximum load that can be carried is proportional to something between the third and fourth power of the velocity. But the fragments of a given shape, the largest size that can be moved (not the actual mass of mixed debris) is proportional to the sixth power of the velocity, provided of course that the depth of water is also adequate for the purpose. As the velocity of a river is checked, the bed load s first to come to rest with continued slackening of the flow, the larger ingredients of the suspended load are dropped, followed succevily by finer and finer particles. When the stream begins to flow more vigoursly, the finer materials are the first to move again. A river begins to sort out its load or burden as soon as it receives it. The proportion of fine to coarse amongst the deposited materials tend on average to increase downstream, but there may be interruptions of this tendency because of addition of coarse debris from tributataries or from landslides and steepening of the banks. Sediment Transportation Sediment transport is the movement of organic and inorganic particles by water. In general, greater the flow more sediment that will be conveyed. Water flow can be strong enough to suspend particles in the water column as they move downstream, or simply push them along the bottom of a waterway. Transported sediment may include mineral matter, chemicals and pollutants, and organic material. Another name for sediment transport is sediment load. The total load includes all particles moving as bed load, suspended load, and wash load. Bed load

Fig 1: Bed load particles travel with water flow by sliding or bouncing along the bottom.

38

Bed load is the portion of sediment transport that rolls, slides or bounces along the bottom of a waterways. This sediment is not truly suspended, as it sustains intermittent contact with the streambed, and the movement is neither uniform nor continuous. Bed load occurs when the force of the water flow is strong enough to overcome the weight and cohesion of the sediment. While the particles are pushed along, they typically do not move as fast as the water around them, as the flow rate is not great enough to fully suspend them. Bed load transport can occur during low flows (smaller particles) or at high flows (for larger particles). Approximately 5-20% of total sediment transport is bed load. In situations where the flow rate is strong enough, some of the smaller bed load particles can be pushed up into the water column and become suspended.

Suspended Load While there is often overlap, the suspended load and suspended sediment are not the same thing. Suspended sediment are any particles found in the water column, whether the water is flowing or not. The suspended load, on the other hand, is the amount of sediment carried downstream within the water column by the water flow. Suspended loads require moving water, as the water flow creates small upward currents (turbulence) that keep the particles above the bed. The size of the particles that can be carried as suspended load is dependent on the flow rate. Larger particles are more likely to fall through the upward currents to the bottom, unless the flow rate increases, increasing the turbulence at the streambed. In addition, suspended sediment will not necessarily remain suspended if the flow rate slows.

Fig 2: If the water flow is strong enough to pick up sediment particles, they will become part of the suspended load.

39

Wash Load

Fig 3: The wash load is the portion of sediment that will remain suspended even when there is no water flow.

The wash load is a subset of the suspended load. This load is comprised of the finest suspended sediment (typically less than 0.00195 mm in diameter). The wash load is differentiated from the suspended load because it will not settle to the bottom of a waterway during a low or no flow period. Instead, these particles remain in permanent suspension as they are small enough to bounce off water molecules and stay afloat. However, during flow periods, the wash load and suspended load are indistinguishable. Turbidity in lakes and slow- moving rivers is typically due the wash load. When the flow rate increases (increasing the suspended load and overall sediment transport), turbidity also increases. While turbidity cannot be used to estimate sediment transport, it can approximate suspended sediment concentrations at a specific location.

What is Sediment Deposition? Sediment is necessary to the development of aquatic ecosystems through nutrient replenishment and the creation of benthic habitat and spawning areas. These benefits occur due to sediment deposition – when suspended particles settle down to the bottom of a body of water. This settling often occurs when water flow slows down or stops and heavy particles can no longer be supported by the bed turbulence. Sediment deposition can be found anywhere in a water system, from high mountain streams, to rivers, lakes, deltas and floodplains. However, it should be noted that while sediment is important for aquatic habitat growth, it can cause environmental issues if the deposition rates are too high, or too low.

40

Fig 4: When the flow rate changes, some sediment can settle out of the water, adding to point bars, channel bars and beaches

Sediment transportation and Deposition is depending upon various factors like Slope of the Area, Annual Rainfall, Lithology, and flow intensity of River, Geomorphology, Soil, Geology and Land use.

Chapter 12 GEOLOGY AND MINERAL WEALTH

Regional Geology of the area: The stratigraphic succession is as follows.

Lametabeds Cretaceous.

Gondwana group {Kamthistage} Permian { Barakar stage} {Talchirstage} Carboniferous.

Streaky Granitiegneisses Sausar and Sakoli series of metasediments Archaeans

Archaean Rocks: The Archaeans of Nagpur district are comprised of two distinct lithological units; the older unit comprising gneisses and schists resulting from repeated metamorphism of ancient sediments (similar to Dharwar formation of Southern India) and a younger group of gneisses representing perhaps a granitic intrusion into above metasediments. As both these rock units have suffered intense deformation and metamorphism it is difficult to distinguish them from each other and consequently are generally grouped together as unclassified metamorphic and crystallineseries.

Sausar and Sakoli Series: Rocks of the older metasedimentary group have been mapped in great detail and named Sausar series (occurring in the Northern ‘Nagpur-Chhindwada' region) and Sakoli

53 series (occurring in the Southern' Nagpur-Bhandara' region); the latter, viz., Sakoli series are assumed to be an upward continuation of the former, viz., Sausar series. The Sausar series is further subdivided into stages mostly on their lithology; the Lohangi, Mansar and Chorbaoli being important in view of their containing manganese ore zones. The rock types comprising these series include biotite-gneiss, quartz-pyroxene-gneiss, calcyphyre, crystalline limestone, quartzite, mica-schist, hematite-schist, pegmatite and various manganiferous rocks known as Gondite. Gondite (named after the aboriginal tribe ‘Gonds’ found in these areas) is a rock composed of quartz and manganese Garnet ‘spessar-tite’. Many other rock types carrying rare species of manganese minerals such as Blanfordite-a manganese pyroxene (from Kachurwahi and Ramdongri), Vrendenburgite-a strongly magnetic manganese ore (from Beldongri), Hollandite crystalline form of psilomelane (fromJunawani) and Beldongrite-black pitchlike mineral regarded as an alteration product of spessartite, have been grouped under the Gondite series. Of the other minerals found in the manganiferous rocks of the region, Sitaparite Chiklite, Winchite, Juddite, Rhodonite and Piedmontite deserve mention. An excellent exposure of crystalline limestone containing piedmontite nodules occurs in the Pench river at Ghogra (Gokula) about 3 km. north-east of Parseoni.

Streaky-Granitiegneisses: Rocks of the younger group comprise coarse grained granitic gneisses, prevalent amongst which, is a streaky biotite gneiss which at places covers large areas. These are, however, distinguished from schists and gneisses of sedimentary origin (Sausar series) in view of their not being confined to any particular horizon, and occurring adjacent to any of the stages of the Sausar series. Another feature of these rocks is the occurrence in them of coarse pegmatite intrusive. Based on these and other lines of field evidence, it is thought that these rocks are intrusive into the Sausarseries.

54

Geological map of Nagpur District

Structure of Archaean Rocks: The Archaean rocks of this district have a very complex structural pattern. The Sausar series (northern belt) generally dips towards south-south-east or south and the Sakoli series to the north-north-west while the middle or axial region may be al zone of faulting or overthrust.IntheSausar series the southern part is composed of isoclinal folds with steep (50º- 80º) dips to south; in the middle strip the folds are recumbent, with 30° to 60° dip to the south, while the northern strip shows thrust sheets. There are many steep dipping strike faults which are generally thrust faults. Three ‘Nappe’ units have been recognised in the Nagpur- Chhindwada region at Sapghota, Ambajhari and Deola-par from west to east all of them having a low southernly dip. ‘Nappe’ is a structure wherein a sheet of rocks has been tectonically transported far from its original site. Earlier folds in Sausar series have been refolded by late stage deformation and the resulting ‘cross-fold’ structure is seen at Ramtek, Junawani and Deolapar. Lineations of various kinds are well developed in the Archaean rocks of the district, all of which plunge 20°to30° towards east.

55

Gondwana group: Rocks referable to the Talchir, Barakar and Kamthi stages of the Gondwana system of fluviatile and lacustrine origin were deposited in troughs, generally produced by faults, which in many cases form he boundary of Gondwanas with older rocks and therefore known as ‘Boundary fault’. The Kelod-Kamptee line which marks the north-east boundary of Kamthi beds with Archaeans is a boundary fault. The Gondwana formations have been affected by other minor faults as revealed in several drillholes put down to prove the existence of coal seams around the towns of Kanhan and Kamptee. There is a marked unconformity between the Barakars and Kamthis; during the time interval indicated by this unconformity, Barakars were partially or completely eroded away in some areas and the Kamthis rest directly over the Talchirs. At other places absence of Barakar outcrops is due to overlap (extension of a strata in a conformable sequence beyond the boundaries of those lying beneath) byKamthis.

Talchirs: Talchir beds are exposed at Kodadongri (north of Patansaongi) and 9 km. north of Nagpur near Suradevi hills, while to 8 km. north of these hills minor exposures are seen. Talchirs comprise green shales and sandstones with minor intercalations of clay and rest unconformably with a basal conglomerate over the Archaeanrocks.

Barakars: Coal-hearing Barakar beds consisting of white and grey sandstones and grits, fireclays and carbonaceous shales are exposed in Tekadi-Silewada-Patansaongi and Bhokara-Chakki- Khapa tract. They are also reported from below the Lameta beds near Umrer. Barakar outcrops are generally lacking in the district, being either overlapped by Kamthis or concealed under the alluvium. About 200 metres north of Kanhan Railway Station a drill hole has revealed Barakars beneath thealluvium.

Kamthis: These rocks occupy an area which is bounded by Kelod-Kamptee line towards north- east along which Kamthis have been faulted against Archaeans. Southwards they stretch uptoBhokara, 6 km. north of Nagpur. The western boundary is the irregular edge of the Deccan basalts. At Silewada, about 8 km. northwest of Kamptee, a low range of hills is composed of Kamthis. Detached from above, two inliers are seen in the trap area to the west. One of these (about 14 kill. long by 6 wide) lies to the north-east of Bazargaon and the other

56 roughly 54 km. north-west of Nagpur at Ghorkheri (6 km. long by 4wide). Kamthis trend in west-north-west-east-south-east direction with 5° to 30° dip towards south- south-west and their estimated thickness is about 1,500 km, predominantly composed of soft and coarse grained sandstones, Kamthis also contain fine grained mica-ceous sandstones, hard and gritty sandstones and homogeneous and compact shales. Bazargaon inlier contains considerable thickness of conglomerates composed of white quartz pebbles set in a matrix of grit. Interstratified with this conglomerate is a fine red argillaceoussandstone. Fossil flora include species of Phyllotheca, Vertebraria, Pecopteris, Gangamopteris, Angiopteridium, Macrotaeniopteris, Noeggera- thiopsis and Glossopteris. The best known localities for fossils in Kamthis are the stone quarries at Silewada and Kamptee.

Lametas: Lametas, also known as Infratrappeans for their subjacent position to traps (Deccan basalts), are fresh water deposits which rest horizontally over the older Gondwana and Archaean rocks with an unconformity. Lametas which rarely attain a thickness up to 8 metres grade from calcareous sandstones to sandy limestones with intercalations of chert and clay. These occur at the foot of Kelod and Sitabuldi (Nagpur) hills, west of Adyal and at Ketapur. A large spread of these rocks is situated immediately to the west of Umrer. Lametas have also been found fringing the trap outliers in the north-west corner of the district. Fossil Mollusca found in the beds at Nagpur are Melania, Paludina and Corbicula andPhysa.

Deccan basalts (Traps) and Intertrappeans: The western part of the district is covered by layers or doleritic and basaltic lavas, commonly known as ‘traps’ because of step like appearance of their outcrops, the term being of Scandinavian origin. Apart from the main area to the west, several outliers are found north-west of Bhivagad, whilst the southern end of the tongue of trap separating the Pench Valley in Chhindwada district just crosses the border intoNagpur. These traps are of fissure-eruption type, i.e., they welled up through long narrow fissures in the earth's crust and flowed out as horizontal layers one over the other. Individual flows (layers) have been traced for distances of 100 km. in this district. Some layers are hard and compact while others are soft, vesicular or amygdaloidal having cavities filled with secondary calcite, zeolite and quartz. Columnar joints, sheeting and spheroidal weathering are characteristic of these rocks. The Deccan traps belong to ‘Plateau basalt’ type, essentially composed of plagioclase (mostly labradorite) and augite with some magnetite.

57

Palagonite is abundant in the basalts near Nagpur. These rocks are generally dark grey in colour having a specific gravity of 2.9.

Intertrappeans: Layers of fresh water sedimentary rocks, are interbedded with the Deccan basalt flows to the west of Nagpur. Such intertrappean beds occur near Dhapewada, between Bhokara and Mahu-jhari, Takli, Telankhedi and Sitabuldi. They range in thickness from a few centimetres up to two metres and are composed of cherts, impure limestones and pyroclastic material including trap detritus. Numerous fossils have been collected from these rocks, the most famous locality being Takli. The collection includes Replitian bones, remains of a fresh water Tortoise, Fish- scales, Coleoptera, Entomostracans. Dinosaurian tooth similar to Mega- losaurs and following fresh water mollusca-Ballinus.Melania, Limnaea, Succinea, Paludina, Phvsa and Vilvala. Fossil flora includes over 50 species of fruits and seeds, 50 species of exogenous and endogenous leaves and stems, some of the latter being six feet in girth, roots andChara.

Soil: In the Archaean area the rocks are hidden beneath a considerable thickness of alluvialsoil, deposited by the tributaries of the Kanhan and the Wainganga rivers. In the trappean area the soil is usually the black cotton soil known as regur with Kankar, which is also found in the soils on the Archaean areas.

CHAPTER 13 SURFACE WATER AND GROUND WATER SCENARIO OF THE DISTRICT

GROUND WATER SCENARIO:

Nagpur district is a part of the Wainganga alluvial plains and is underlain by quaternary alluvium comprising mainly sands of various grades with clay and kankar. The central alluvial plains extends from north to south are made up of finer clastics comprising mainly clay, silt, sandy clay with kankar and subordinate sands.

HYDROGEOLOGY: The ground water in the area occurs both under confined and water table conditions. It occurs in the zone of saturation within the granular zones encountered below the land surface. The principal source of replenishment to the ground water body is precipitation. The northeastern and east central parts of the district are drained by the Wainganga and its tributaries. The central and western portion is drained by the Wena which is a tributary of Wardha River. The aquifer material is comprised of fine to medium sand and coarse sand with gravel. The important water bearing formations of Nagpur district are discussed below. A map depicting the hydrogeological features is shown in Figure bellow.

The depth to water levels during Nov. 2019 ranges between 0.60 m bgl (Umrer) and 10.60 m bgl (Manegaon Tek). Spatial variation in postmonsoon depth to water levels is shown in Figure-4. In the entire district the water levels are shallow within 10 m bgl. Water levels of 2-5 m bgl is the most dominant range occupying major parts of Ramtek, Mouda, Kuhi and Bhiwapur talukas. Water levels of less than 2 m bgl are observed in isolated patches i.e., parts of Narkhed, Nagpur, Umrer and Mouda Talukas.

Ground Water Resources

Central Ground Water Board and Groundwater Survey and Development Agency (GSDA) have jointly estimated the ground water resources of Nagpur district based on GEC- 97 methodology. Taluka wise ground water resources are shown in Figure-5. As per the estimation the net annual ground water availability comes to be 1058.12 MCM. The total

61 gross draft for all uses is estimated at 407.80 MCM with irrigation sector being the major consumer having a draft of 343.59 MCM. The allocation for domestic and industrial water requirements are worked at 126.80 MCM. The net ground water availability for future irrigation is estimated at 588.05 MCM. Stage of ground water development varies from 12.0% (Mouda) to 75% (Narkhed). The overall stage of ground water development for the district is 38.54%. All the talukas have been categorised as “Safe”.

Ground Water Quality CGWB is monitoring the ground water quality of the Nagpur district since the last four decades through its established monitoring wells. The objectives behind the monitoring are to develop an overall picture of the ground water quality of the district. During the year 2011, the Board has carried out the ground water quality monitoring of 36 monitoring wells. These wells mainly consist of the dug wells representing the shallow aquifer. The sampling of ground water from these wells was carried out in the month of May 2011 (pre-monsoon period). The water samples after collection were immediately subjected to the analysis of various parameters in the Regional Chemical Laboratory of the Board at Nagpur. The parameters analyzed, include pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Alkalinity (TA), Total

Hardness (TH), Nitrate (NO3) and Fluoride (F). The sample collection, preservation, storage, transportation and analysis were carried out as per the standard methods given in the manual of American Public Health Association for the Examination of Water and Wastewater (APHA, 1998). The ground water quality data thus generated was first checked for completeness and then the validation of data was carried out using standard checks. Subsequently, the interpretation of data was carried out to develop the overall picture of ground water quality in the district in the year 2019.

Ground Water Management Strategy

Ground water has special significance for agricultural development in the State of Maharashtra. The ground water development in some parts of the State has reached a critical stage resulting in decline of ground water levels. There is thus a need to adopt an integrated approach of development of ground water Ground Water Development

The basalt is the main formation of the district and occupies an area of about 4300 sq. km. It is observed that the vesicular and weathered basalts are more productive than the massive and jointed basalts. Though the Archaeans are highly weathered, they form moderate potential aquifers. Alluvium is the most potential aquifer occurring in the district. In general, the Gondwana formation gives moderate to high yield while the Lameta is poor yielding aquifer in the district. Dug wells are most common ground water extraction structure in the district and are used for both domestic and irrigation purposes. The formation wise yield of dug wells is given in Table below. Table: Formation-wise yield of Dugwells. S. Rock Depth range Yield range Remarks No. Formation (m bgl) (m3/day) Winter Summer 1.

Water Conservation and Artificial Recharge Ground water plays vital role for irrigation in Nagpur district, as a result the ground water levels are depleting at faster rate. To avoid over-exploitation of ground water resources, there is a need to increase irrigation facilities from surface water sources and to conserve water flowing out from area through rivers and nalas at various places by constructing different types of water conservation structures. These structures will not only prevent outgoing surface run-off from the small watersheds, but also will act as artificial recharge structures and arrest soil erosion. One Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting Scheme was taken up and completed successfully by CGWB during 2001-02 at KITS, Ramtek under Central Sector Scheme for Artificial Recharge. Buildings of IT Department and Boys Hostel were identified for harvesting rainwater from roof tops. Total 196 cubic meter of rain water was harvested and recharged in a year in IT block and around 200 cubic meter in Triveni Hostel building in the year 2002-03. The water level rose in the wells/borewells of the campus within 3-4 years. The pumping hours of water supply borewells located up to 200 metres distance increased by around 1 hour and yield of the bore wells increased by 500 to 1000 litres/hours. Demonstrative Project of artificial recharge was taken in Rajbhawan, Nagpur under Central Sector Scheme. Under this scheme 49 water conservation structures were constructed for rainwater harvesting and artificial recharge of ground water. It si aimed to use the structures as demonstrative model for State Govt, NGOs and public.
