District Survey Report - 2018

1. Salient Features of Krishna District

Krishna District with its District headquarters at is a coastal District of Andhra Pradesh. It was formerly called as Machilipatnam District. Later it was renamed as Krishna District after the holy river Krishna, by adding certain Taluks of the abolished District in 1859. Again in 1925, Krishna District was further divided into Krishna and West Godavari Districts. It lies between 15º 43’ 02’’ and 17º 08’ 17’’ of the North latitude and 80º 07’ 24’’ and 81º 34’ 51’’ of East longitude which extends over an area of 8727 Sq. Kms. with a coastline of 88 Kms. It was surrounded on the east by and , on south by Bay of Bengal on west by Guntur and Nalgonda Districts and on north by District. 1.1 Administrative Setup

The District is divided into 50 Mandals (Fig.1) covering 4 Revenue Divisions viz., 1. Bandar 2. Vijayawada 3. 4. . The District is naturally divided into delta and upland zones. All the mandals existing in Bandar, Gudivada divisions and part of Vijayawada division (, , Thotlavalluru part of Vijayawada Rural) comprise delta and Unguturu, , and part of and mandals of Nuzvid Division and all the mandals existing in Nuzvid division and the remaining mandals of Vijayawada Division constitute upland (DES, 2015). The upland consists of an undulating broken terrain by low ranges of Eastern . The main sources of Irrigation in upland are tanks. It is being benefited by the water of Nargarjuna Sagar also. The delta land is being irrigated by canals of river Krishna. There are five viz., 1. Machilipatnam 2. 3. Gudivada 4.Nuzvid and 5. Jaggaiahpeta and one Municipal Corporation in Vijayawada.

1.2 Drainage

The famous river Krishna is flowing in this District (Fig.2). It is perennial in nature and flows along the western boundary of the District. Part of upland mandals as well as the delta mandals is now having the facility of utilizing the water for irrigation purpose. The Krishna being a great and sacred river of South like the Godavari and Cauvery flows almost across the Peninsula from West to East and finally joins the sea by two principal mouths. Among the other streams and tributaries Muniyeru, Budameru and are significant. Muniyeru is the chief tributary of the river Krishna and it flows from north to south across erstwhile Jaggaiahpeta and Nandigama taluks. This is an additional irrigation source available in this District. The Budameru is another hill stream which flows through several mandals viz., , G.Konduru, Unguturu, Vijayawada,

ix

District Survey Report - 2018

Gannavaram, Gudivada, , and finally falls into Kolleru Lake. Agriculturally, the importance of the above sources is more as they not only feed minor irrigation tanks but also provide for lift irrigation sources and ground water potential. South of , the river Krishna bifurcates into four branches before it debouches into the Bay of Bengal. The general drainage pattern is dendritic to sub-dendritic. The drainage density is high in consolidated formations, low in semi-consolidated formations, whereas in alluvial areas the density is meagre (CGWB, 2013).

Fig.2 Drainage Network and Surface Water bodies of the District

The Kolleru Lake having a shallow depression area of about 388.5 Sq. Km lies in Kaikaluru and mandals and is located between the Krishna and Godavari delta and spans into two districts - Krishna and West Godavari. It acts as a

x

District Survey Report - 2018

reservoir for drainage water of surrounding delta areas during monsoon and it dries up in summer. Kolleru Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Asia. The lake serves as a natural flood-balancing reservoir for these two rivers. The lake is fed directly by water from the seasonal Budameru and Tammileru rivers, and is connected to the Krishna and Godavari systems by over 68 inflowing drains and channels. The lake is an important habitat for an estimated 20 million resident and migratory birds. It is known the world over for the famous . 1.2a.Kolleru Lake- A eco-sensitive zone Kolleru Lake is one of the largest freshwater lakes in the country. This lake is located between Krishna and deltas. Administratively, the Kolleru is covered in Krishna and West Godavari Districts. Kaikalur, , and

Mandavalli Mandals in Krishna district are important tourist destinations as the

Kolleru Lake is situated within these mandals of the District. Budameru and

Tammileru are the major streams that empty into the lake. In addition to this, the lake is fed by irrigation canals/ drains. The only outlet of the lake is river Upputeru.

The lake was declared as a wildlife sanctuary under India's Wildlife Protection Act of 1972, and designated as a wetland of international importance in Ramsar

Convention during 1971. The lake up to +5ft contour level covering 308.55 sq.km has been notified as Wildlife sanctuary by the State Govt in October, 1999.

1.3 Climate and Rainfall

Tropical climate conditions with extreme hot summer and cold winter prevail in this District. The period of April to June is the hottest with high temperature in May. The climate of the district is moderate and characterized by tropical rainy climate with aggressive summer. The period from December to middle of February is

xi

District Survey Report - 2018

generally the season of fine weather. The summer season is from March to May. Almost in each and every mandal, automatic weather stations (AWS) are established by A.P. State Developmental Planning Society (APSDPS), Planning Department, Govt. of A.P. (Fig.3) and the data from these stations is received every day.

Fig.3. Distribution of automatic weather stations (AWS) in Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh

This is followed by monsoon period from June to September, the post monsoon from October to December and the winter season from January to February. The monsoon usually breaks in the middle of June and brings good rains up to middle of October. The average annual rainfall of the district is 1011.2 mm, which ranges from nil rainfall in January to March. The mean seasonal rainfall distribution is 700 mm in southwest monsoon (June- September), 241 mm in northeast monsoon

xii

District Survey Report - 2018

(Oct-Dec), 6.3 mm rainfall in winter (Jan-Feb) and 64 mm in summer (March–May). The percentage distribution of rainfall, season-wise, is 69.25% in southwest monsoon, 23.82 % in northeast monsoon, 0.62 percentage in winter and 6.31% in summer (CGWB, 2013). In general, the amount of rainfall increases from west to east. The distribution of rainfall in Krishna District is shown in the form of isohyets (Fig.4).The mean daily maximum temperature in the District is about 38°C in May and the mean daily minimum temperature is about 20°C in December/ January. Temperature in the District begins to rise from the middle of February till May. With the onset of southwest monsoon in June, the temperature decreases to about 20°C and is more or less uniform during the monsoon period. The relative humidity in the District is of the order of 80% in the mornings throughout the year, whereas in the evenings the relative humidity varies from about 70 to more than 80% (CGWB, 2013). Mandal-wise average annual rainfall is given in Table-1. From this Table, it is observed that maximum rainfall is found in July and August months and minimum in January with an average annual rainfall of 1032mm.

2. Land Utilization, Forest and Slope of Krishna District

The Land Use / Land Cover (LULC) pattern of any region is an outcome of various physical and cultural factors and their utilization by man in time and space. Land use refers to the type of utilization to which man has put the land. It also refers to the evaluation of the land with respect to various natural characteristics. But land cover describes the vegetal attributes of land. Land use/land cover data is essential for planners, decision makers and those concerned with land resources management. For the proper understanding of the influence of the various human- induced land use practices with regard to the environmental change, it is essential to help simulate the land use changes. Remote sensing technology is considered the most effective as it provides timely and authentic information about the spatial distribution of land use/land cover, while Geographical Information System (GIS) provides a flexible digital environment for collecting, storing, visualizing and analyzing the spatial data. Remote sensing as a vital tool helps for rapid assessment and monitoring of a natural resource. When combined with GIS, it makes it possible to map land use/cover phenomena in detail for further planning, development, and decision-making, which is essential for meeting the increasing demands and welfare of the ever-growing population.

2.1 Land Use / Land Cover Classification

Various land use/land cover categories have been delineated by using the satellite data of 3 seasons (Kharif, Rabi & Zaid) under level-3 classification. For on-screen digitization, visual image interpretation techniques (size, shape, color, tone, texture, association and pattern) have been used for classifying the land use/land cover map (NRSA, 2006). This information is used for general planning purposes at district/mandal level. The broad categories are built-up, agricultural, forest, wastelands, wetlands and water bodies. The spatial distribution of land use/land

Many of these can be identified based on the sharp boundary exhibited by them. The distribution of forest plantation is 64.54 sq. km.

Scrub Forest

These are the forest areas which are generally seen at the fringes of dense forest cover and settlements, where there is biotic and abiotic interference. Most times, they are located closer to habitations. Forest blanks which are the openings amidst forest areas, devoid of tree cover, observed as openings of assorted size and shapes as manifested on the imagery are also included in this category. It is attributed to an area of 133.40 sq. km (1.53%).

Swamp Forest (Mangrove)-Dense

These are the areas with the plants evergreen in nature, halophytic, dense or woody in nature, occurring along tidal waters/creeks, estuaries and along the delta in coastal areas. They are densely colonized in coastal on tidal flats, estuaries salt marshes etc. This category includes all the areas where the canopy cover/density is more than 40%. This category is found along the coastal areas with an account of 71.47 sq. km.

District Survey Report - 2018

These are the areas with the plants evergreen in nature, halophytic, dense or woody in nature, occurring along tidal waters/creeks, estuaries and along the delta in coastal areas. They are densely colonized in coastal on tidal flats, estuaries salt marshes etc. This category includes all the forest areas where the canopy cover/density ranges between 10 and 40 percent. It is found that 95.76 sq. km area is under this category.

Tree Clad Area-Dense

Areas with tree cover lying outside the notified forest area with a woody perennial plant with a single, well-defined stem carrying a more-or-less-defined crown and being at least 3 m tall. Plants essentially herbaceous but with a woody appearance (e.g. bamboos and ferns) are also classified as trees if the height is more than 5 m and as shrubs, if the height is less than 5 m. This category includes all the areas where the canopy cover/density is more than 40%. It occupied an area of 0.80 sq. km.

Tree Clad Area-Open

Areas with tree cover lying outside the notified forest area with a woody perennial plant with a single, well-defined stem carrying a more-or-less-defined crown and being at least 3 m tall. Plants essentially herbaceous but with a woody appearance (e.g. bamboos and ferns) are also classified as trees if the height is more than 5 m and as shrubs, if the height is less than 5 m. This category includes all the forest areas where the canopy cover/density ranges between 10 and 40 per cent. It is attributed to an area of 1.59 sq. km.

Wastelands

Wasteland is described as degraded land which can be brought under vegetative cover with reasonable effort and which is currently underutilized and land which is deteriorating for lack of appropriate water and soil management or on account of 2 DMG, GoAP

27

District Survey Report - 2018

natural causes. Wastelands can result from inherent/imposed disabilities such as by location, environment, chemical and physical properties of the soil or financial or management constraints. The area under this category is 148.61 sq. km (1.70%).

Salt-affected land

These lands are containing an excessive concentration of salts (soluble salts or exchangeable saline or both). Salinization can result from improper management of canal irrigation water resulting in the rise of the water table and consequent accumulation of salts in the root zone in arid, semi-arid and sub-humid (dry) conditions and ingress of sea water in coastal regions and/or use of high-salt containing ground water. They also become saline when soils have developed on salt containing parent materials or have saline ground water. Coastal saline soils may be with or without ingress or inundation by sea water. These lands are accounted for 0.26 sq. km only.

Dense scrub

The scrub is usually confined to topographically elevated areas, on the hill slopes generally surrounded by agricultural lands. These areas possess shallow and skeletal soils, at times chemically degraded, extremes of slopes, severely eroded and lands subjected to excessive aridity with scrubs dominating the landscape. It is found with varying sizes of small to large areas having a contiguous or dispersed pattern. The dense scrub is mostly identified on the hills and occupied an area of 82.23 sq. km.

Open scrub

This category has a similar description as mentioned in the dense scrub excepting that they possess sparse vegetation or devoid of scrub and have a thin soil cover. The open scrub is found foothills surrounded by agricultural lands with an account of 44.27 sq. km. 2 DMG, GoAP

28

District Survey Report - 2018

Coastal Sand

Coastal sands are the sands that are accumulated as a strip along the sea-coast. Very high reflectance exhibited by this category especially in the NIR region of the spectrum enable their separation with the salt-affected land. It is found in along the coast and occupied an area of 19.61 sq. km (0.22%).

Riverine sand

Riverine sands are those that are seen as accumulations in the flood plain as sheets which are the resultant phenomena of river flooding. The sandy areas occurring within or in continuity to river course are to be excluded from this category. These are found along the Krishna River and attributed only 0.23 sq. km.

Barren Rocky/Stony waste

The barren rock exposures are especially confined to hilly terrain with down slope with rock outcrops, stony waste and fragments. The area under this category is 2 sq. km.

Wetlands

All submerged or water-saturated lands, natural or man-made, inland or coastal, permanent or temporary, static or dynamic which necessarily have a land-water interface, are defined as wetlands. The wetlands category is found having 251.43 sq. km with four sub categories.

Wetland - Inland - Natural

These are the areas that include ox-bow lakes, cut-off meanders, playas, swamp, marsh, peat bogs etc (with vegetation). This category contributed 35.08 sq. km of the district total. 2 DMG, GoAP

29

District Survey Report - 2018

Wetland - Inland- Manmade

Waterlogged areas (seasonal and perennial) created due to the negative effect of human management practices and are present with vegetation. This is attributed to an area of 50.86 sq, km.

Wetland – Coastal

These include estuaries, lagoons, creek, backwater, bay tidal flat/mud flat, mangrove, salt marsh/marsh with vegetation and other hydrophytic vegetation. It contributed an area of 138.46 sq. km (1.59%).

Coastal - Saltpans

Saltpans are flat expanses of areas covered with salt usually white under the Sum. Saltpans are manmade saline ecosystem from which crude salt is extracted during summer. These are un-drained, usually small and shallow, natural depression or hollow in which brackish water accumulates and evaporates leaving behind salt deposits. This category is found nearer to Machilipatnam area and attributed 27.03 sq. km.

Water Bodies

This category comprises areas with surface water, either impounded in the form of ponds, lakes and reservoirs or flowing as streams, rivers, canals etc. These are seen clearly on the satellite image in blue to dark blue or cyan color depending on the depth of water. Waterbody category occupies an area about 513 sq. km with 5.88% of the district.

River/Stream-Perennial

Rivers/streams are the natural course of water flowing on the land surface along a definite channel/slope regularly or intermittently towards a sea in most cases or a

2 DMG, GoAP

30

District Survey Report - 2018

lake or an inland basin in desert areas or a marsh or another river. The rivers/streams that flow continuously throughout the year are considered perennial. This contributes an area of 129.12 sq. km.

River/Stream-Non Perennial

When the water covers the surface for less than nine months in each year, it is considered non perennial. This also includes the dry part of river generally characterized by the presence of sand or exposed rocks. It is found that most of the streams fall under non perennial category and contributes an area of 151.45 sq. km.

Canal/Drain

Canals and drains are artificial watercourse constructed for irrigation, navigation or to drain out excess water from agricultural lands. It is found mostly in coastal plains with an area of 42.32 sq. km.

Reservoir/Tanks-Permanent

The reservoir is an artificial lake created by the construction of a dam across the river specifically for hydel power generation, irrigation, and water supply for domestic/ industrial needs, flood control, either singly or in combination. Tanks are small lakes of impounded waterways constructed on land surface for irrigation. They are associated with croplands, low lands and reservoirs surrounded by hills without vegetation. This includes all reservoirs/tanks with water spread seen at least during one season in a year is considered under the permanent category. This category occupies an area of 42.32 sq. km.

Reservoir/Tanks-Seasonal

2 DMG, GoAP

31

District Survey Report - 2018

Dry reservoirs/tanks are those, which do not have water spread throughout the year are considered seasonal. It is found that many of the tanks under seasonal category with an area of 122.43 sq. km.

2.2 Slope Map of the District

The concept of measuring slope from a topographic map is a familiar one for most professionals in the natural resources and landscape planning / management and surveying professions. Slope is a measurement of how steep the ground surface is. Steeper the ground surface is, the greater the slope. Slope is measured by calculating the tangent of the surface. The tangent is calculated by dividing the vertical change in elevation by the horizontal distance. Slope is normally expressed in planning as a percent slope which is the tangent (slope) multiplied by 100. Percent Slope = Height / Base * 100

Reliable estimation of the stability of slopes and foundations is very demanding because it is important for terrain analysis to understand the natural process in the disciplines of topography, geology, soils, hydro-geology, infrastructure planning, hazard management both at surface and subsurface. In view of this, slope plays an important role while doing decentralized planning at grassroots level. Traditionally information of contours from 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 topographic maps are used for preparation of slope by manual procedure based contour value difference for unit horizontal distance. The emergence of remote sensing & GIS systems and the availability of topographic data in DEM or TIN formats, slope maps can be generated using image processing and GIS methods. Representation of slope in percentage is understandable rationale for the resource mapping and planning. Slope information is one of the GIS layers that play an important role in natural resources and district planning process. It is proposed to

2 DMG, GoAP

32

District Survey Report - 2018

generate the necessary slope layer from the available digital topographic data such as Carto DEM and open source Digital Elevation Model data (NRSC, 2009).

From Fig. 9, it is observed that majority of the District is covered with level to nearly level slope. Moderately sloping areas are observed in parts of Gampalagudem, A.Konduru, G. Konduru,Veerullapadu, , Ibrahimpatnam, Vijayawada (Rural) and Agiripalli mandals. Very gently sloping to gentle sloping categories are found in parts of Chatrai, Musunuru, Nuzvid and Reddigudem mandals.

Fig. 9. General Slope of Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh

2 DMG, GoAP

33

District Survey Report - 2018

Slope data generated from DEM using GIS techniques produces triangular nature slope polygon. To generate meaningful slope layer, it is suggested to aggregate slope polygons by using manual procedures. However, the slope generated from GIS analysis can be used directly for any decision-making planning purpose. The accuracy of the slope is dependent on accuracy of the DEM used for slope generation. The DEM should be a bare earth and should not have spikes or dips which are common in automatic DEM generation. Therefore, to use Carto DEM, conversion to bare earth DEM has to be carried out before slope layer generation. 2.3 Forest Cover Distribution

The forest cover in the District based on the interpretation of IRS R2 LISS III data (2015-16) is 624.23 sq. km which is 7.25% of the total geographical area (TGA) of the District. As per the land use manual (NRSC, 2016), the forest in the District can be classified into 8 forest classes and class-wise areas are presented in Table-3. The spatial distribution of forest cover in the District is shown in Figure-10. Table-3 Forest Cover Distribution of Krishna District

3. Agricultural Resources in the District

Endowed with a rich variety of soils, the district occupies an important place in agriculture which is the most important occupation and paddy is the main food crop produced. According to agricultural census 2012-13, the gross cropped area of the district was 7.01 Lakh Hects of which gross irrigated area was 3.63 lakh Hects. While 2011-12 the gross cropped area of the district was 7.26 Lakh Hects of which gross irrigated area was 3.75 lakh Ha (DES, 2015). Three types of soils, viz., 1. Black soil which constitutes 57.6% of the villages, 2. Sandy Clay-loams with 22.3%, and 3. Red loamy with 19.4% of the villages are prevalent in this District, while a small sandy soils constitute 0.7% along the fringes of the seacoast.

Remote sensing technology has been successfully used by APSAC during the last two decades in the areas of agriculture both in spatial and temporal domain under various projects. APSAC carried out in-season forecasting of acreage for major crops i.e. Kharif rice, Rabi rice, cotton, groundnut etc, at State/ District level for the last two decades in Andhra Pradesh to enable the administrators and planners to take strategic decisions on import-export policy matters and trade negotiations. Rice and Cotton are the most dominant crops in Andhra Pradesh in both Kharif and Rabi seasons. In this connection, Department of Agriculture and

2 DMG, GoAP

36

District Survey Report - 2018

Directorate of Economics & Statistics are generating data on conventional methods for estimation of crop area and production. In this regard, satellite remote sensing plays a pivotal role with limited field visits for timely estimation and monitoring the crops. 3.1 Crop Acreage Estimation

The major crops cultivated in the Krishna district are paddy, sugarcane, maize, cotton, chillies and pulses. Other crops such as banana, turmeric and are also cultivated in some of the mandals. In addition to Kharif rice, Cotton, Rabi Rice is also estimated using optical remote sensing and Microwave data in Krishna District.

3.5. Horticulture: Krishna District has the biggest mango market in the region. Many other horticulture crops are grown in sizeable numbers. More number of farmers will take to these crops if the benefits under the National Horticulture Mission are extended to them. As a result, thousands of farmers growing mango, banana, turmeric and other crops will not have the opportunity of enjoying various benefits like accessing latest techniques to increase productivity.

Under the national mission, the Central Government has promised to release funds to the State over the next three years to focus on areas for increasing 2 DMG, GoAP

42

District Survey Report - 2018

productivity and promoting post-harvest treatment of fruits. Besides these, the project will open new areas for promoting research and development activities in the field. The scheme gives greater thrust to cultivation of banana and mango, which are cultivated in large tracts in the Krishna District. It also envisages development of export zones for specific crops.

Besides, the lands in several surrounding villages of , , Tadigadapa, , Penamaluru, Madduru, Vanukuru, Kankipadu, Valluripalem and Thotlavalluru are also suitable for vegetable cultivation. The farming community used to cultivate vegetables and supply vegetables to Vijayawada city. But now, all the villages are transforming into towns with rapid urbanisation.

Area statistics in hactares and production in metric tonnes of six types of horticultural species/ categories are collected for Krishna District from the Department of Horticulture, Govt. of Andhra Pradesh for 2017-2018. They are fresh fruits, vegetables, plantations, spices, flowers, and medicinal & aromatic plants and the information is presented in Tables 4 -9.

4.Coastal Resources and Aqua Culture of Krishna District 4.1 Shoreline Status of Krishna District

The shoreline change estimation was carried out for the entire Krishna coast which is about 122.04 km in length. In this study, shorelines were extracted from satellite images for 1989, 1999, 2005, 2010 and 2012 by visual interpretation.

As a result of the analyses, the most significant changes were observed at Krishna coast. Summary statistics for the rate of change is given in Table 10. The analysis discovered that about 40.51% of the coastlines were under accretion, whereas remaining 51.25% region was experiencing varying erosion and 8.24% of the coast has stable form. While the north side Gollavani Kaluva area is noticed with high accretion and north side of Krishna river area & Southside of Gollavani Kaluva has most erosion area found. In that Krishna coast had severe erosion in last few decades, most of this coast erosion and half of the coast eroded due to severe wave action and orientation of the coast.

2 DMG, GoAP

55

District Survey Report - 2018

attracted by the tremendous difference in profitability. Apart from this, in Krishna District where water salinity is a problem, many agriculturists shifted to aquaculture, because farmers at the tail end of the irrigation canals had little access to fresh water, and are forced to use saline water. In this situation, shrimp culture stands as a promising option. The profits made in the first year are used to buy or lease more land for the second season, which lead the aqua farms to increase manifold. Mandal-wise distribution of existing aquaculture and dry/abandoned/potential areas is given in the Table-1. High resolution satellite remote sensing based aquaculture mapping in Krishna District shows that the existing aquaculture area is 60,226 ha and dry/abandoned/potential for aquaculture development is 23,085 ha (APSAC, 2017b).

5. Water and Irrigation Resources of Krishna District

5.1.Surface Water Resources of Krishna District

5.1.1.Major and Medium Irrigation Projects in Krishna District

Irrigation has assumed an increasing significance in agriculture in the context of new technology, where high yielding varieties and multiple cropping are being practiced. The main reasons for low yields are inadequate rainfall, uneven and uncertain rains during the period of crop growth. It is generally found that the introduction of irrigation is associated with changes in the cropping pattern. The shift from traditional cropping pattern to the most advantageous cropping pattern is possible only in the presence of irrigation facilities. The new agricultural technology is highly based on sufficient moisture conditions. Thus, the development of irrigation is crucial for increasing agricultural production. The irrigation projects are classified as major, medium and minor irrigation projects.

5.1.2 Major Irrigation Project

The major irrigation projects covering Krishna district are Krishna Eastern Delta (Prakasam Barriage) and Nagarjuna sagar Project. In Krishna eastern delta an extant of 679,000 acres and in Nagarjuna Sagar Project an extant of 329,304 acres are covered and they fall under eighteen assembly constituencies. The mandals covered are Avanigada, Gangavaram, Gudivada, Kaikalur, Machilipatnam, Pamarru, Pedana, Penamaluru, Vijayawada East, Vijayawada West and Vijayawada Central. The overall coverage under major irrigation project is 1,008,304 acres. The major ongoing irrigation project is Indira Sagar project right main canal. Under this ongoing project about 63,000 acres are covered that fall

5.2.Ground Water Prospects of Krishna District 5.2.1.Geology of Krishna District

Krishna district is underlain by a variety of geological formations comprising from the oldest Archaeans to Recent Alluvium (Fig.19). Hydrogeologically, these formations are classified as consolidated (Hard), semi-consolidated (Soft) and unconsolidated (Soft) formations. The consolidated formations include crystallines (Khondalites, Charnockites and granitic ) and meta sediments (Dolomites, shales, phyllites and quartzites) of Archaean and Pre-cambrian periods 2 DMG, GoAP

60

District Survey Report - 2018

respectively. The semi consolidated formations are represented by Tertiary formations ( & Gollapalli sandstones) and unconsolidated formations comprise deltaic alluvial deposits of Quaternary period (CGWB, 2013).

Consolidated formations occur in the northern part of the District. Among consolidated formations occurrence of meta sediments is restricted to NW part of the District i.e., in parts of Jaggayyapeta, Penuganchiprolu, Nandigama and Chandralapadu mandals. Semi-consolidated formations occur in the north- eastern part of the District and its extension is limited to small area i.e., in parts of Musunuru, Nuzividu, Bapulapadu and Gannavaram mandals. Unconsolidated formations occur in the southern part of the District i.e., in the delta area.

The Geological Survey of India (GSI, 2000) gave a detailed account of the geology/lithology of the District with a map on 1: 2,50,000 scale (Fig.21) and an elaborate legend with stratigraphic sequence (Fig.20). The description given by GSI is as follows.

The Super Group comprising Khondalite and Chamockite Groups is exposed in the central part of the upland area. They consist of quartz, K-feldspar, garnet, sillimanite, graphite, with or without corundum. In the north eastern part, a number of calc granulite and quartzite bands are present, within Khondalite. Acid and intermediate varieties of charnockite with patches of pyroxene granulite metagabbro (north of Krishna River in the Kondapalli hill ranges) and minor magnetite-hypersthene-quartz granulite extend SW of Kondavidu hill ranges. Layered igneous rocks comprising anorthosite, gabbroic noritic anorthisite, leuco gabbro noritic gabbro and pyroxenite, associated with chromite ore occur as feeble bands within chamockites (GSI, 2000).

District Survey Report - 2018

The rocks of the Peninsular Gneissic Complex are mostly in the form of migmatized gneisses with enclaves of older metamorphic rocks, such as amphibolite, pyroxene granulite and actinolite schist. The grey granite , which is mostly confined to the western part, is always well banded, the bands being alternately light and dark in colour. The gneissic rocks are intruded by dykes of dolerite, pegmatite and aplite. The rocks of Archaean age are overlain by Proterozoic cover sequences of Cuddapah Super Group and Group. The contact between the older crystallines and the younger sediments is marked by a pronounced unconformity known as the . The Cuddapah Super Group is represented in the area by Cumbum Formation (Shale, phyllite, dolomite, limestone, quartzite). The Kurnool Group comprises Conglomerate Quartzite and Narji Limestone. Micaceous quartzite of Mulug Group of Pakhal Super Group occurs as discontinuous outcrops east of Nandigama. The Pakhal Super Group is considered to be the time-equivalent of Cuddapah Super Group.

Rocks of Upper Gondwana Group of the Gondwana Super Group, comprising Tirupathi Sandstone, Gollapalle, Chintalapudi Sandstone and Kamthi Sandstone are exposed north, northwest and east of Nuzvid. These rocks trend NE-SW with 20° dip towards SE.

Unconformably overlying the Gondwana rocks is a small patch of Rajahmundry Sandstone, occurring NE of Nuzvid. The sandstone is brick red in colour and contains nodules of clay. The Krishna River built up its delta, south of Vijayawada. It flows southwards up to Avanigadda, where it bifurcates into two channels, the main channel continues to flow southwards up to its confluence with the sea near Nagayalanka and the branch at Avanigadda flows eastwards up to its confluence with the sea near Hamsaldeevi.

5.2.2. Mineral Resources of Krishna District

As per literature (GSI, 2000), the following minerals are available in Krishna District.

Diamond: Ancient workings for diamond in the gravel beds of Krishna River are seen near , Mogaluru, Buttalapadu, Alkur, Kondavatikallu. Between the years 1890 and 1894, the Hyderabad Deccan Company carried out prospecting of these deposits and recovered nearly 2,500 diamonds. In recent years, the gravel occurrences near Kanchikacherla, Chadralapadu, Malavalli, Ustapalli were prospected by G.S.I and a few diamonds recovered.

Uses of Diamonds Diamond is very popularly known for being used as a gem in jewellery but other than this basic use of diamond, there are many other uses of this valuable stone. Diamonds are being used in many industries as well for various operations. Along with being used in the industry, diamonds are also used for some basic general uses. Diamond membranes are durable, resistant to heat and transparent, making them highly useful. Because diamonds are so hard and durable, they are ideal for grinding, cutting, drilling and polishing. When used as an abrasive, very small pieces of diamond are embedded into grinding wheels, saw blades, or drill bits. Small pieces of diamonds are used for cutting glasses. The small portions of diamonds are also used for drilling the rocks. The hardness of the diamond is the main reason why diamonds are preferred for doing such cutting and drilling activities. No matter if a diamond is used in the solid form or in the form of dust, diamond holds a number of uses. The dust of the diamond can be used for polishing other diamonds and precious stones. The dust of the diamond gives an enhanced shine in the other stones. The diamond dyes are used for the process of making the wires using the lab equipment. Diamonds can be used for engraving stones to various other metals. The various stones that can be engraved are granite, quartz, etc. The workers feel no need for the replacement of engraving bit as the diamond does not break, scratch or damage any of the stones. Since

2 DMG, GoAP

65

diamonds possess a high level of thermal conductivity, diamonds can be used in various electronic applications to prevent the delicate parts from getting damaged from the heat rays of the Sun. The diamonds are used as heat sinks in such electronic applications for repealing away the heat of the Sun.

In the process of lapping, diamond slurry is used. The diamond slurry is made by mixing water with a mixture that contains small pieces of diamonds. This diamond slurry is then applied between the two surfaced that needs to be lapped and rubbed for getting results. Diamonds are often used as antidotes in various places for poisons or diseases. Diamonds have a high thermal conductivity that means they are very good heat conductors and diamonds are used as a good tool for heat sinks. The researchers chose nano diamonds because they reflect light and they are compatible with human cells. Using the diamonds’ reflective properties, the researchers are able to monitor the cellular processes that occurred once patients are given cancer medication. Because diamonds have such a unique relationship with light, medical researchers have also looked into using them to help the visually impaired. Researchers have been testing diamonds as a potential material for bionic eyes and eye implants for the blind.

Sulphur: Native sulphur occurs near Kana over an area of 10 to 15 hectares, down to a depth of 6 m. Sulphur is impregnated as tiny grains over clayey soil, the concentration of which increases gradually from the surface downward, the maximum being at a depth of 0.5 m. Bacterial activity is considered to be the cause for the precipitation of sulphur.

Barytes: Barytes in small quantities is found near Vemulanarva.

Mica: Old workings of mica area a r e seen near Jammalavoidurgam, Gasavidu and Lakshmipuram of Tiruvuru taluk.

In view of the present demand for chromite for Steel Plant, it may be worthwhile to carry out detailed exploration to assess the grade and reserves. As regards diamonds, detailed exploration of diamondiferrous gravels of Paritala and other areas is taken up by Geological Survey of India to assess the potentiality of the deposits. Most of the iron ore from Jaggayapeta area has already been mined and exported and the mining industry was closed down (DES, 2015).

Limestone Occurrence: Limestone occurs only in Jaggayyapet mandal of Krishna District. The litho unit Limestone is generally associated in the area with Shale Quartzites and Phyllites of the Palnad Basin. The Narji Limestone formation of Palnad Sub- basin is of economic value. The area is occupied by the flaggy outcrops of Narji Limestone with localized patches of brown soil, lateritic gravel and intercalations of shale. Based on the shale content, the limestone is divided into high grade, low grade and shally limestone of which high and low grade are potential for cement manufacturing. As such the cement plants are established in the mandal Jaggaiahpet.

The Limestone is dark gray in colour, fine grained and massive. Honey comb and elephant-skin patterns are in the weathered surface of limestone due to differential weathering exhibiting conchoidal fracture. The reports on the area inferred that the limestone is cement grade basing on the silica content and chemical characteristics.

The mineral limestone occurs exclusively in the villages viz. Jayanthipuram, Ravirala, Budavada, , Muktyala and R.F of the Jaggayyapeta mandal. There are 13 existing mining leases in the area. They are consuming the mineral for their own cement plants.

In the district, there are five cement plants established basing on the immense limestone potential of the area. These units/plants are contributing not only

revenue to the exchequer but also providing employment directly or indirectly. A Government Enterprise, M/s. Rastriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL) is also having a mining lease and using the limestone as flux in its steel plant at Visakhapatnam blending with the Dolomite etc., available in their captive mines elsewhere in the State as well as other States.

Uses: It is widely used as a raw material for Cement Industry and as a flux in Steel Industry also.

Iron-Ore Occurrence: It occurs as float ore in the form of pebbles and granules in the surface of the fields. The ore mineral in the area is hematite. The deposit appears as fluvial origin. It is learnt that in yester years owing to the demand of the Iron the ore pebbles were collected manually from the fields and dispatched. As such 4- mining leases in patta lands have been obtained in Gandrai village of Jaggaiahpet mandal. However, presently only one lease in the pattaland is in working and rest of 3-mining leases are non-working. Uses: It is used as a raw material for Steel, Iron industry and Ferro Alloys.

Quartz Occurrence: Geologically the occurrence of Quartz in the district as intrusive belongs to Peninsular Gneissic Complex of Archaean Age. The vein deposit of the quartz in the district is observed in association with two litho units viz. (1) Quartz vein with Feldspar as Hanging wall and (2) quartz vein with muscovite schist. The quartz body is generally covered by the soil and Feldspar in the lower altitudes i.e. on either side of the Quartz vein. The Quartz is massive, glassy in nature. It is colourless to translucent. General strike of the Quartz vein is NW-SE. Feldspar occurs as a hanging wall over the exposed Quartz Bodies.

Quartz mineral precisely occurs in 5 Mandals viz,(1) Kambhampadu, Vallampatla of A. Konduru Mandal, (2) Anumolullanka, Chinnavaram of Gampalagudem Mandal, (3) Laxmipuram, Ganugapadu of , (4) Kudapa of 2 DMG, GoAP

68

District Survey Report - 2018

Reddigudem Mandal and (5) Vemireddipalli of Mandal and at present 9 quarry leases are existing covering an extent of 25.600 Ha in the District.

Quartz mineral in Quarry lease area of Sri N.V. Vatsavardhan Quartz is with muscovite schist.

Uses: The available Quartz mineral in the district is semi glass quartz and milky quartz variety and used in Ceramic-tile manufacturing industry. Fine powder of the Quartz is widely used in the paint industry and glass industry.

Chromite Occurrence: Chromite occurs here as small impersistent irregular lenses and disseminations within steeply dipping pyroxenites. From the traces of the ore body noticed on the walls of two old pits, it appears that chromite is in very small proportion in the pyroxenite. The pyroxenite bodies themselves are small, further it is found that most of the chromite here is of poor quality. It also reported that the pits in the locality have reached a depth of about 5 to 15 m. Three types of chromite, viz, hard, soft and detrital ores occur in the area. The hard ore is a well-cemented, massive and dense chromite ore with or without pyroxenes and occurs as lenses, bands, veins and pockets. The disseminated ores rarely give rise to such hard ores near the surface. Thin veinlets of pyroxenite are commonly seen in the hard ore.

Disseminations of chromite within the pyroxenite give rise to soft ore on weathering. The pyroxenes are easily broken down by percolating waters thus releasing the cementing bond between the pyroxenes and the chromite grains. This soft ore is a granular mixture of weathered pyroxenes and chromite.

The detrital ore is a dark brown, hard and dense float ore. Limonite occurs as coatings on the chromite grains and also occupies the interstitial space in between. The detrital ore occurs as small boulders along the flanks of the hill and nalas 2 DMG, GoAP

District Survey Report - 2018

At present, no mining leases are existing for Chromite in Krishna district. There are abandoned Chromite quarries and trial pits at nine localities in the Kondapalli area which are prospected by the Geological Survey of India. In all these localities, except at Gangadevi Gutta, the chromite occurs as lenses, bands, pockets and disseminations in steeply dipping and pitching lenticular bodies (sheets) of pyroxenite. At Gangadevi Gutta, thin chromite veinlets are seen on the walls of the chromite quarry occurring within intermediate charnockites, but here also the main chromite deposit is probably confined to the pyroxenite body with minor veinlets injected into the charnockitic wall rock.

Uses: The Chromite ores in both the areas are generally of poor quality; and even those ores containing high Cr2O3 content generally show high iron content, thus making then unsuitable for metallurgical purposes. These ores are, however, fit for use in the chemical industry.

Oil & Natural Gas Occurrence: Crude Oil & Natural Gas occurs in West Godavari Sub Basin, the Early Cretaceous and older sequences are known hydrocarbon habitants. Major tectonic elements are present in and around Kaza Horst, Kaikalur-Lingala Horst, and SW plunge of Bantumilli- high, Gudivada and Bantumilli grabens. The Bantumilli high rising towards NE takes a NW swing at Suryaraopeta, Mahadevapatnam area. The NW flank of the Bantumilli high is gentler as compared to the SE flank towards Lakshmipuram. Similarly, the Kaikalur high has steeper SE flanks as compared to gentler NW flanks where Kaikalur-Lingala fields are located. The SE faults extend from basement to Basalt levels suggesting continued tectonic activity till Paleocene. This has brought out typical half graben geometry to Bantumilli graben, filled with coarser to finer clastic rocks of fluvial to marginal marine environment over basement. End of rift fill is marked by Aptian- Albian sedimentation of High Gamma High resistivity shale unit. This HG-HR sequence of Lower Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian) age is bounded by regional unconformities/ nonconformities at top and bottom and overlies the rift fill. 2 DMG, GoAP

The basin tilts towards SE which resulted in open marine conditions. This argillaceous Raghavapuram litho unit is overlain by Tirupathi sandstone prograding towards SE and grade into prodelta/deep marine Chintalapalli shales beyond Marsyapuri- fault.

The structural readjustment appears to have taken place during post igneous activity (Razole trap) times. The Matsyapuri Palakollu faulting influenced the structural readjustment in this part of the basin resulting in the formation of gentler terrace features over the NW parts of the Major highs.

Gas provides electricity and is also used for cooking. It can also be used in the form of compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a transportation fuel for vehicles. Granite Occurrence: The rock (Granite) useful for cutting and polishing occurs only in the western part of the district. Geologically the area comprises Granitic gneissic of Archaean age. 2 DMG, GoAP

71

District Survey Report - 2018

The general litho units are Feldspar granites, Gneissic granodiorite-quartz diorite and migmatites. Dolerite dykes exposed as small mounds and may be intrusive in to the country rock granite and granitic gneiss. The rock is black coloured, medium to fine grained equi-qranular in texture. In certain pockets white crystals of plagioclase embedded in black matrix. Petrographically, the dolerite consists of plagioclase feldspar and augite with accessory minerals biotite and other ferro- magnesium minerals.

The granite deposit areas are located at Anumanchipalli, Ramchandrunipet & Tekkalapadu villages of Jaggaiahpeta mandal, Doddadevarapadu & Narasimharaopalem villages of Veerulapadu mandal and Makkapet village of Vatsavai mandal.

As per office records, there are 20 quarry leases existing in the district. However, 10 are non-working due to lack of market. Among the working leases 03 are actively in operation. Further, there are no polishing units in the district, most of the extracted granite blocks are being transported to the neighboring State.

Uses: These rocks are useful for cutting and polishing, and as decorative monuments.

Road Metal Occurrence: Road Metal occurred in Charnockite Group of Eastern Ghats Super Group of Archaean age, where the Eastern Mobile Belt is tapering to less than 20 km width and trending in NNE-SSW in the area and Charnockite zone represented mainly of Charnockite and Basic Granulite. The Charnockite in the area forms dome shaped steeply sloping hills. The rock is medium to coarse grained texture comprises greasy quartz, hypersthenes, orthoclase and plagioclase with or without Garnet. Road Metal is available precisely in 5 Mandals viz,(1) Kachavaram, Kondapalli, Jupudi of Ibrahimpatnam Mandal, (2) Loya, Kadimpothavaram, Cheruvu Madhavaram of G. Konduru Mandal, (3)Vinagadapa of Gampalagudem Mandal,(4) 2 DMG, GoAP

Chillakallu of Jaggaiahpeta Mandal and (5) Paritala of and at present 214 quarry leases are existing covering an extent of 498.000 Ha in the district. Most of the mineral potential area falls under Kondapalli Reserve Forest.

In the district, there are about 120 crushing units established for breaking and crushing raw material to different sizes as need based.

Uses: The available Charnockite rock in the district is in massive nature sustain rock strength for usage of civil works. However, consisting of predominant irregular joints it is not useful for cutting and polishing. As such these are utilizing for breaking and crushing purpose only and the derived aggregate products are being used in Civil construction works, Railway Ballast and making Railway Sleepers, etc., Gravel Occurrence: Gravel is formed due to insitu weathering of Khondalite rocks of Eastern Ghat Super Group of Archaean age. These Metamorphic rocks formed due to the effect of pressure and temperature in pre-existed sediments by resulting regional metamorphism and the general strike is NE-SW and dip to East direction.

Such notable Gravel deposits are available in Vijayawada Rural, Gannavaram, Agiripalli, Bapulapadu, Nuzvid, Nandigama, Chandarlapadu, Vatsavai and Jaggaiahpeta mandals. Most of the gravel potential area falls under Reserve Forest. There are 38 quarry leases existing in the district.

Uses: Gravel is used for formation of Kacha roads and filling low level areas.

Sand Occurrence: The river Krishna flows through the entire Krishna district before it empties itself into Bay of Bengal near village of Krishna district. Hence, there are huge potential sand deposits available in Krishna River.

District Survey Report - 2018

At present, the Government of Andhra Pradesh vide Memo No. 3066/M-II(1)/2016- 3, Dt: 04.03.2016 has changed the sand policy and sand is made available to the public without charging any fee from 2nd March, 2016.

Prakasam Barrage is a tail end project of the river Krishna located beside Vijayawada city, just 80 km from the sea confluence point. It is found that 71 Lakh Cubic metres of sediment deposits have been accumulated in the reservoir and 5 Reaches are under Sand reaches through De-siltation process for the quantity of 9 Lakh Cubic meters in the Krishna Reservoir area upto 13.50 Kms from Prakasam Barrage in KLF Bank of Krishna District.

In upstream of the Barrage, Sand is also available in meager quantities along the banks of the 4th order streams i.e., Krishna and Munneru and 3rd order streams of , Katleru and Wyra, which drains in western part of the district. There is no huge deposit of sand exploitable. However sand excavation is permitted under APWALTA. However, the sand can be used for local needs and flagship programmes of Governmental works under Rule 23 (1)(A) under APWALTA Rules, 2004.

In the downstream of the barrage, Sand reaches have been notified upto the point of CRZ and at present 8 sand reaches are notified for excavation of sand for free.

5.2.3 Geomorphology of the District Using IRS satellite data and GIS detailed geological, geomorphological and structural map of Krishna District was generated as per Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission (RGNDWM) guidelines on 1: 50,000 scale. The objective of this is to map lithology, geomorphology and structural characteristics of an area on 1:50,000 scale and to integrate the same to locate potential ground water prospect zones and to recommend suitable structures for ground water recharge. Various hydrogeomorphic units are delineated and suitable recharge structures are proposed at drinking water affected villages under this project. The description

of geomorphic units of different origins (Fig.21) mapped in Krishna District are described as follows.

Fig.21 Geomorphology of Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh

5.2.4.. Landforms of fluvial origin

The word fluvial is used in Earth science to refer to processes and landforms produced by running water. As with other surficial processes, running water can

2 DMG, GoAP

75

District Survey Report - 2018

either erode material from the earth’s landscape, or deposit layers of sediment. The resulting landforms can thus be classified as either erosional landforms or depositional landforms. The incredible power of running water in carving various erosional and depositional landforms is well known. Although the quantity of water in stream is small at one time during the course of the year, very large volumes of water move through the channel and they form an important component in the hydrological cycle. The fluvial dissection of the landscape consists of valleys and their included channel ways organized into a system of connection known as a drainage network. Drainage networks display many types of quantitative regularity that are useful in analyzing both the fluvial systems and the terrains that they dissect (NRSA, 2007).

Alluvial plain: A level or gently sloping tract or a slightly undulating land surface produced by extensive deposition of alluvium, usually adjacent to a river that periodically overflows its banks; it may be situated on a flood plain, a delta, or alluvial fan. This landform is predominantly seen on the southern part of the District.

Palaeochannel: Deep valleys cut in the bedrock terrain and today filled largely with alluvium, glacial outwash gravels and sands or with tills. These are good source for underground water.

Flood plain: The surface or strip of relatively smooth land adjacent to a river channel constructed (or in the process of being constructed) by the present river in its existing regimen and covered with water when the river overflows its banks at times of high water. It is built of alluvium carried by the river during floods and deposited in the sluggish water beyond the influence of the swiftest current.

2 DMG, GoAP

76

District Survey Report - 2018

Delta: The low, nearly flat, alluvial tract of land deposited at or near the mouth of a river, commonly forming a triangular or fan shaped plain of considerable area enclosed and crossed by many distributaries of the main river, perhaps extending beyond the general trend of the coast, and resulting from the accumulation in a wider body of water (usually a sea) of sediment supplied by a river in such quantities that it is not removed by tides, waves and currents (Fig.21).

Valley fill: The unconsolidated sediment deposited by any agent so as to fill or partly fill a valley.

5.2.5. Landforms of coastal origin

Coasts are also the loci of a unique assemblage of erosional and depositional processes. The various landforms of coastal areas are almost exclusively the result of the action of ocean waves. Wave action creates some of the world’s most spectacular erosional landforms. Where wave energy is reduced, depositional landforms like beaches are created. The source of energy for coastal erosion and sediment transport is wave action. A wave possesses potential energy as a result of its position above the wave trough, and kinetic energy caused by the motion of the water within the wave. This wave energy is generated by the frictional effect of winds moving over the ocean surface. Higher the wind speed and longer the fetch or distance of open water across which the wind blows and waves travel, the larger the waves and the more energy they, therefore, possess. Long open ocean waves or swells travel faster than short, locally generated sea waves. They also have longer wave periods and this is how they are distinguished from the short sea waves on reaching the coast. Long swells, which have travelled hundreds of kilometers, may have wave periods of upto 20 seconds. Smaller sea waves have wave periods of 5 to 8 seconds. Where ocean depths are greater than the length of the waves, the wave motion does not extend to the ocean floor and therefore 2 DMG, GoAP

77

District Survey Report - 2018

remains unaffected by the floor. As the ocean depth falls below half the wavelength, the bottom increasingly affects the wave motion. As the depth of water decreases, the wave height increases rapidly and the wavelength decreases rapidly. Thus, the wave becomes more and more peaked as it approaches the shore, finally curling over as a breaker and breaking on the shore. As the wave breaks, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, providing a large amount of energy for the wave to do the work along the shoreline. Transportation by waves and currents is necessary in order to move rock particles eroded from one part of a coastline to a place of deposition elsewhere. One of the most important transport mechanisms results from wave refraction. Since waves rarely break onto a shore at right angles, the upward movement of water onto the beach (swash) occurs at an oblique angle. However, the return of water (backwash) is at right angles to the beach, resulting in the net movement of beach material laterally. This movement is known as beach drift. The endless cycle of swash and backwash and resulting beach drift can be observed on all beaches. Frequently, backwash and rip currents cannot remove water from the shore zone as fast as it is piled up there by waves. As a result, there is a build up of water that results in the lateral movement of water and sediment just offshore in a direction with the waves. The currents produced by the lateral movement of water are known as long shore currents. The movement of sediment is known as long shore drift, which is distinct from the beach drift described earlier, which operates on land at the beach. The combined movement of sediment via long shore drift and beach drift is known as littoral drift. Tidal currents along coasts can also be effective in moving eroded material. While incoming and outgoing tides produce currents in opposite directions on a daily basis, the current in one direction is usually stronger than in the other resulting in a net one-way transport of sediment. Long shore drift, long shore currents, and tidal currents in combination determine

2 DMG, GoAP

78

District Survey Report - 2018

the net direction of sediment transport and areas of deposition. Using multi- temporal satellite data can bring out the dynamics of the coast (NRSA, 2007).

Beach: A gently sloping zone, typically with a concave profile, of unconsolidated material that extends landward from the low-water line to the place where there is a definite change in material or physiographic form (such as a cliff) or to the line of permanent vegetation (usually of the effective limit of the highest storm waves).

Beach ridge: A low, essentially continuous mound of beach or beach and dune material (sand, gravel, shingle) heaped up by the action of waves and currents on the backshore of a beach beyond the present limit of storm waves or the reach of ordinary tides, and occurring singly or as one of a series of approximately parallel deposits. The ridges are roughly parallel to the shoreline and represent successive positions of an advancing shoreline (Fig.21).

Coastal plain: A low, generally broad but sometimes narrow plain that has its margin on the shore of a large body of water (esp. the ocean) and its strata either horizontal or very gently sloping toward the water, and that generally represents a strip of recently emerged sea floor or continental shelf.

Dune and Swale complex: It is a large complex of parallel wetland swales and upland beach ridges (dunes) found in coastal embayment and on large sand spits along the shorelines of the Great Lakes. The upland dune ridges are typically forested, while the low swales support a variety of herbaceous or forested wetland types, with open wetlands more common near the shoreline and forested wetlands more prevalent further from the lake.

2 DMG, GoAP

District Survey Report - 2018

Tidal flat: An extensive, nearly horizontal, marshy or barren tract of land that is alternately covered and uncovered by the rise and fall of the tide, and consisting of unconsolidated sediment (mostly mud and sand). It may form the top surface of a deltaic deposit.

5.2.6. Landforms of Structural Origin

Landform of structural origin is related to structural aspect of the area. Most of the landforms under this class have genesis related to underlying structure. Structure plays an important role for reducing the resistance of rock which manifests itself in different geomorphic forms. Some of the variations are minor and some are in mega scale. The mega scale forms have a dramatic effect on the genesis of landforms and hence mapping of such forms indirectly indicates the structural set up of the area. The mega scale structural features like fault and fold depending on its type plays an important role in genesis of structural landform. The influence of geologic structures on the development and appearance of landscapes is prominent. The influence of geologic structures ranges from large features, which exert a dominant influence on the form of an entire landscape, to small features, which affect an individual landform and the geomorphic processes operating on it. The structural control could be active structures whose form is directly impressed on the modern landscape or ancient structural features whose influence on a modern landscape is due primarily to differential erosion (NRSA, 2007).

Dome: A general term for any dome shaped landform or rock mass, such as a smoothly rounded rock-capped mountain summit, roughly resembling the dome of a building.

Structural Hills: Hills and valleys, which are originated due to tectonic process and are highly dissected by the drainage lines. This can be further classified as 2 DMG, GoAP

80

District Survey Report - 2018

highly, moderately and low dissection depending on the density of joints and drainage. Mostly this will be interpreted from a planimetric satellite data and the classification is highly subjective.

Dyke Ridge: Intrusive features that are emplaced within the pre-existing fractures or where the fluid pressure is great enough for them to form their own fracture during emplacements. They are discordant bodies.

Cuesta: A hill or ridge with a gentle slope on one side and a steep slope on the other; specifically an asymmetric ridge with one face (dip slope) long and gentle and conforming with the dip of the resistant bed or beds that form it, and the opposite face (scarp slope) steep or even cliff-like and formed by the outcrop of the resistant rocks, the formation of the ridge being controlled by the differential erosion of the gently inclined strata.

5.2.7. Landforms of denudational origin

Landform of denudational origin is formed where the denudation process dominates over the other process. Most of the landform resulting due to this process is the combined effect of mechanical and chemical weathering. Denudation is the process of removal of material by erosion and weathering. This has direct influence on the relief of the area especially in the reduction of relief to the base level. The agents are mostly water, ice and wind. The major factors affecting denudation are geology, climate, tectonics and anthropogenic effects. All rocks and minerals at or near surface are attacked by physical and chemical process. The effect of this process is not the same everywhere because of rocks’ varying resistance to change. As a result, weathering and erosion yield a number of landforms, which have typical shape and forms. Weathering is an essential part of the rock cycle. The parent material, or rock weathered material is disaggregated 2 DMG, GoAP

81

District Survey Report - 2018

to form smaller fragments and some of the minerals are dissolved and removed by the agent of water. This removal of material is erosion and is accomplished by running water, wind, glacier, etc. The weathering provides a raw material for the sedimentary rock and soil (NRSA, 2007).

Denudational Hill: It is a highly dissected hill which has obliterated the structures.

Inselberg: A prominent, isolated, steep sided, usually smoothed and rounded, residual knob, hill or small mountain of circumdenudation rising abruptly from and surrounded by an extensive and nearly level, lowland erosion surface in a hot, dry region (as in the deserts of southern Africa or Arabia), generally bare and rocky although partly buried by the debris derived from and overlapping its slopes; it is characteristic of an arid or semiarid landscape in a late stage of the erosion cycle.

Pediment: A broad, flat or gently sloping, rock floored erosion surface or plain of low relief, typically developed by sub aerial agents (including running water) in an arid or semiarid region at the base of an abrupt and receding mountain front or plateau escarpment, and underlain by bedrock (occasionally by older alluvial deposits) that may be bare but more often partly mantled with a discontinuous veneer of alluvium derived from the upland masses and in transit across the surface.

Pediment-Inselberg Complex: The pediments dotted by numerous inselberg of small sizes, which make it difficult to distinguish from the pediments. Hence, it is called a complex of pediment and inselberg.

Pediplain: An extensive, multi-concave, rock cut erosion surface formed by the coalescence of two or more adjacent pediments and occasional desert domes,

2 DMG, GoAP

82

District Survey Report - 2018

and representing the end result (the “peneplain”) of the mature stage of the erosion cycle. Based on the thickness of weathering, they are further classified as shallow, moderate and deep pediplains (Fig.21).

Residual Hill: A small remnant hill, which has witnessed all forms of denudation.

5.2.8. Structural Features of Krishna District

Krishna District has consolidated formations which include crystallines (Khondalites, Charnockites and granitic gneisses) and meta sediments (Dolomites, shales, phyllites and quartzites) of Archaean and Pre-cambrian periods respectively. The Khondalite Group of rocks are seen as prominent hill ranges (strike ridges) south of Vijayawada, extending towards north and northeast. The rocks of Khondalite, Charnockite groups and the layered complex show foliation trending dominantly N-S with local swerves to NE-SW and NW-SE (GSI, 2000). The semi consolidated formations are represented by Tertiary formations (Rajahmundry & Gollapalli sandstones) and unconsolidated formations comprise deltaic alluvial deposits of Quaternary period (CGWB, 2013).

2 DMG, GoAP

83

District Survey Report - 2018

Fig.22. Structural Map of Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh

Consolidated formations occur in the northern part of the district. Among consolidated formations, occurrence of meta sediments is restricted to NW part of the district i.e., in parts of Jaggaiahpeta, Penuganchiprolu, Nandigama and Chandralapadu mandals. Semi-consolidated formations occur in the north- eastern part of the district and its extension is limited to small area i.e., in parts of Musunuru, Nuzividu, Bapulapadu and Gannavaram mandals. These consolidated rocks which are part of eastern ghat mobile belt are highly disturbed (Fig.22). The semi-consolidated rocks are also disturbed with tectonic activity. Unconsolidated formations occur in the southern part of the district i.e., in the delta area and

2 DMG, GoAP

lineaments cannot be deciphered due to alluvial cover. Prominent lineaments are trending in NE-SW, NW-SE and NNE-SSW direction in the District (CGWB, 2013).

5.2.9. Ground Water Prospects in the District

Fig.23 Ground Water prospects in Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh

2 DMG, GoAP

85

District Survey Report - 2018

Ground water occurs in almost all geological formations and its potential depends upon the nature of geological formations, geographical setup, incidence of rainfall, recharge and other hydrogeological characters of the aquifer. In consolidated formations, ground water occurs under unconfined to semi-confined conditions. Ground water is developed in these formations by dug wells, dug cum bore wells and bore wells tapping weathered and fractured zones. The yields are in the range of 20 to 70 m3/day. The occurrence of fractures in the crystalline formations is limited down to 30 to 40 m bgl and occasionally extends down to 70 - 100 m bgl. The bore wells constructed in the crystalline formations generally tap the weathered and fractured zones. The yields of the bore wells generally range between 80 and 400 m3/day. The higher yields are limited to the available thickness of fractured and jointed zones. In the meta sediments, the yields are very limited and are in the range of 10 to 80 m3/day. Higher yields occur in limestone formations. Ground water in semi-consolidated formations occurs under unconfined to confined conditions. Ground water is developed in these formations by dug cum tube wells and tube wells. These formations are potential aquifers.

The yields of the dug cum tube wells are in the range of 30 to 45 m3/day. Granularity of the sandstone bed is the deciding factor of the yield potential as the higher yields are recorded in the Rajahmundry sandstones tapping coarse sandstone beds. The yields of the tube wells in Gollapalli sandstones and

Rajahmundry sandstones are in the range of 60 to 200 m3/day and 600 to 1500 m3/day, respectively.

The deltaic area is underlain by alluvium of recent age consisting of varying proportions of clay, silt, sand and gravel. The thickness of alluvium ranges from few meters to about 600 m followed by tertiary formations. In deltaic area, ground water occurrence is controlled by landforms. In deltaic area also, a lot of heterogenity in hydrogeological conditions exist both spatially and vertically. Fresh

2 DMG, GoAP

86

District Survey Report - 2018

water is generally limited to shallow to moderate depths only, whereas in the southern part of the delta it occurs as pockets and lenses (Fig.23). Deep aquifers are generally saline. Palaeo-channels are favourable locations for fresh water aquifers. Ground water occurs under phreatic to confined conditions and is developed through shallow dug wells, filter point wells and shallow tube wells. The depth of dug wells ranges from about 2 to 7 m, while the depth of filter point wells varies from 5 to 13 m and the depth of tube wells varies from 40 to 80 m. The yields generally range in this aquifer between 250 and 400 m3/day. Occasionally high yields up to 15 lps exist in the palaeo-channels. The transmissivity value of the aquifer in the semi & unconsolidated formations varies from 2.5 to 5560 m2/day. The depth to water levels during pre-monsoon season (May, 2012) in the district ranges between 2 and 10 m bgl. Water levels more than 5m bgl occur in the parts of Gannavaram, Jaggayyapet, Reddygudem, Vissannapeta and Tiruvuru mandals, whereas, water levels less than 2 m bgl occur in parts of the Kalidindi and Ibrahimpatnam mandals. The depth to water level during post monsoon season (Nov, 2012) in general is less than 2m bgl, whereas in parts of Jaggaiahpeta, Vijayawada, Musunuru water levels are more 2m bgl (CGWB, 2013). The Ground water Department established extensive network of piezometer observation wells throughout Andhra Pradesh and is monitoring the ground water levels (Fig.24).

5.2.10. Ground Water Quality of the District

Ground water samples were collected from 1250 habitations out of 1865 habitations representing for two seasons i.e., post monsoon and pre monsoon in December 2012 and June 2014 for entire District. The water samples were collected from Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Department (RWS & S) and analyzed for physico-chemical parameters like TDS, TH, Cl, NO3, pH, F, Fe, TA and SO4 using standard techniques in the laboratory and compared with the BIS (10500-2015), in terms of desirable, permissible and non potable classes. Blue, yellow and red colours indicate pre monsoon quality and +, - , . symbols indicate 2 DMG, GoAP

88

District Survey Report - 2018

post monsoon quality for desirable, permissible and non-potable classes, respectively (NRSC, 2011).

From the analysis, it has been observed that the ground water is polluted in pre monsoon and post monsoon. About 30% of the area is under non potable category due to high concentration of Total Dissolved solids, Fluoride and Total Hardness (APSAC, 2017b). About 60% of the area is in potable category and the remaining 10% of the area is covered in hills and water bodies of the entire District (Fig.25). The occurrence and movement of groundwater in an area are governed by several factors such as topography, lithology, geological structure, depth of weathering, extent of factures, drainage pattern, climate conditions and inter relationship between these factors (APSAC, 2017c).

6.4 Overall view of Mining Activity in the District

The total Geographical area of the district is 8,72,700 Hectares of which the mining / quarrying activity is about 2,682 Hectares only. It is only 0.30 % of the total Geographical area.

The available Major Minerals are Limestone (Cement Grade) and float ore of Iron. The minor minerals are Road Metal, Granite, Gravel & Sand. In respect of the Major Minerals, there are 12 mining leases for Limestone (Cement Grade) and 05 iron ore mining leases exist. The Iron ore mining leases are non-working due to insufficient deposit and no present market.

Among the minor minerals, the quarrying activity is predominant with road metal and next is gravel. Granite occurs only in the Jaggaiahpeta mandal having 11 leases and working intermittently due to lack of market. The existing Road metal quarries (214 Nos) are playing major role in the developmental activities of civil constructions. In recent sand policy, sand available along the Krishna River and which are above 4th order is kept for free of cost to the public. As such 12 sand bearing areas have been notified at Nandigama mandal, at Munneru River and Kanchikacherla, Chandarlapadu, Thotlavalluru, Pamidimukkala and Challapalli Mandals at Krishna River and 5 Sand reaches are notified under de-siltation process above Prakasam Barriage.

6.5. Availability of Sand, Gravel and Aggregate Resources

The river Krishna flows through entire Krishna district before it empties itself into Bay of Bengal near Hamsaladeevi village of Krishna district. Hence, there are huge potential sand deposits available in Krishna River.

2 DMG, GoAP

91

District Survey Report - 2018

Prakasam Barrage is a tail end project of the river Krishna located beside Vijayawada city, just 80 km from the sea confluence point. It is found that 71 Lakh cubic metres of sediment deposits have been accumulated in the reservoir and 5 Reaches are under sand reaches through de-siltation process for the quantity of 9 Lakh Cubic meters in the Krishna Reservoir area up to 13.50 Kms from Prakasam Barrage in KLF Bank of Krishna District.

In upstream of the Barrage, sand is also available in meager quantities along the banks of the 4th order streams i.e., Krishna and Munneru and 3rd order streams of Paleru, Katleru and Wyra, which drain in western part of the district. There is no huge deposit of sand exploitable. However sand excavation is permitted under APWALTA. However, the sand can be used for local needs and flagship programmes of Governmental works under Rule 23 (1)(A) under APWALTA Rules, 2004.

In the downstream of the barrage, sand reaches have been notified up to the point of CRZ and at present 8 sand reaches are notified for excavation of sand under Free Sand Policy and further identification of sand reaches is under progress as per APWALTA norms.

Road Metal is available precisely in 7 areas viz, Kachavaram, Kadimpothavaram, Kondapalli, Loya, Vinagadapa, and Paritala areas and at present 214 quarry leases are present in the district. Most of the mineral potential area falls under Reserve Forest.

Gravel is available in Vijayawada Rural, Gannavaram, Agiripalli, Bapulapadu, Nuzvid, Nandigama, Chandarlapadu and Jaggaiahpeta mandals and at present
