Data provided by District Mining Office, Mungeli 6. Process of Deposition of Sediments in the rivers of the District:
There are some important factors which are responsible for the process of sedimentation in a river basin are the stage of river development (the infant, youth, mature or old stage), lithology and structures of the upstream region or provenance from where sediments eroded/migrated/travelled, geomorphology and gradient of provenance, anthropogenic activities such as mining, industrialization and mega engineering projects such as Dam also affects the process of sedimentation and the thickness of the sequence is determined by the depth of the stream channel during flood stage and is related to the size of river itself. The major river of the district is Maniari. The river originates in Sarasdol (Mungeli) and is the largest river in the district and is about 164.93km long. It is very shallow in depth but sometimes it creates havoc during rain. Other major river of the district is Agar. Agar originates in Teliapani, Kabirdham district at an elevation of 735m and is about 104.42 km long.

Mungeli is a newly formed district of Chhattisgarh. It is situated in the north-north western part of Chhattisgarh state and it is surrounded by Kawardha district in the west, Bemetara district in the south and Bilaspur district in the east. Mungeli is situated on the bank of the rain fed Agar River, which originates from Teliapani, Kabirdham district at an elevation of 735m, the high hills of the Maikal Range of central India.
Mungeli district is situated between latitude 21 0 48’35” to 22 0 40’30” and longitude 81 0 29’45” to 82 0 02’ 10” and falls under Survey of India Toposheet No. 64 F/7, 8, 10, 11, 64G/9, 13 and 64K/1 .
Geomorphologically, the district can be divided into valley fill, denudational plateau, denudation pediment/ pediplain and high level plateaux. The valley fills occur in the southern most part. They range in elevation from 260m to 275m. High level plateaux are exposed in the eastern and western parts, ranging in elevation from 539m to 730m in the east and attain a maximum elevation of 1006m in the west.
Geologically, Mungeli district is occupied by sedimentary rocks of Chhattisgarh Super Group mainly consists of aeranaceous and argillaceous rocks which are represented by limestone, shale, dolomite etc. It is underlain by Archaean basement, which mainly consists of unclassified granite and gneiss etc.

In Mungli district rock formations ranging in age from Archean to recent times are exposed in the area. They include granites, gneisses and older metamorphic of the Precambrian age, rocks of Chhattisgarh Super group of upper proterozoic age, Gondwanas of Lower Permian age, Lametas of Upper Cretaceous age, Deccan trap of upper cretaceous to Eocene age and laterite of Cainozoic age. The Chhota Nagpur Gneissic complex of Archean to proterozoic age comprises of unclassified granites and granite gneisses, with enclaves of older metamorphics – Phyllites, Quartzites, Schists and dolomitic marble. This group is exposed in northern part of the area.
The Chhattisgarh Super group of the rocks occurring in the south unconformably overlie the Precambrian basement. The Chhattisgarh Super group is divided into Chandarpur and Raipur groups. The Chandarpur Group comprises sandstone and conglomerate. Unclassified Raipur group comprising of shale and limestone occurs in the central and south central part, whereas in the south-eastern part this Group is represented by the rocks of Gunderdehi Formation, Chandi Formation, Tarenga Formation and Kodwa Formation. Gunderdehi Formation is represented by grey shale, shale and limestone with intra formational conglomerate. Chandi Formation is comprised of grey, hard and compact shale and pink dolomite. Tarenga Formation comprises of clay, chert, shale, red calc- argillite, argillaceous dolomite. Kodwa formation is represented by grey argillaceous dolomite.
Lameta Formation is exposed in the NW part of the district at the foothill of Amarkantak Plateau. It comprises ash grey coloured cherty/siliceous limestone and greenish feldspathic (arkosic) sandstone with very thin bands of red clay- variegated in nature.
Deccan Trap of Upper Cretaceous to Eocene age is exposed in west and north western parts of the district overlying the Lametas. The Basalt flows are dark grey, fine to medium grained, hard and compact.
Laterite and bauxitic laterite of Cainozoic age are observed on basalts in the west and northwestern parts of the district. The development of the reddish brown, hard and compact lateritic profile is due to weathering of the trap rocks, which subsequently has resulted in the formation of bauxite Zones.
Mineral wealth of Mungeli district :
The Mungeli district has number of significant mineral deposits. Most of the areas of district is furnished with Limestone and Dolomite. Limestone and Dolomite deposits are reported from no. of places out of which Khamhardih, Dhamani, Sargaon, Mohbhatta, Badiyadih, and Bhakhuridih are important. Despite this Gold has been noticed in the brecciated quartz veins along a shear zone extending between Kosabani (22 021’00”:81 040’00”) and Tingipur (22 017’00”:81 051’00”). Lepidolite occurs in muscovite granite near Garhtora (22 031’00”:81 039’00). 11.(a) District wise detail of river or stream and other sand source :
