1. Salient Features of Krishna District

Krishna District with its district headquarters at is the 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 Bay of Bengal 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.

Fig.1 Administrative Boundaries of Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh

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 Krishna river water for irrigation purpose. Krishna being a great and sacred river of South

District Survey Report - 2018

like 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 Tammileru 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, 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 Krishna and Godavari delta and spans into two districts - Krishna and West Godavari. It acts as a 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 Kolleru Bird Sanctuary.

District Survey Report - 2018

Krishna District accounts for approximately 37 per cent of the total aqua farm area of Andhra Pradesh (Fig.6). Many paddy cultivators have shifted to shrimp culture, 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, 2017a).

2. Geology and Mineral Resources of the District

2.1 Geology of Krishna District

Krishna district is underlain by variety of geological formations comprising from the oldest Archaeans to Recent Alluvium (Fig.7). 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 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, , 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 , 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.7) and an elaborate legend with stratigraphic sequence (Fig.8). 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,

DMG, GoAP

17

District Survey Report - 2018

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).

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 Kumool 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 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

18

District Survey Report - 2018

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.

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 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 , Chadralapadu, Malavalli, Ustapalli were prospected by G.S.I and a few diamonds recovered.

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 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).

District Survey Report - 2018

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 & low grade are potential for cement manufacturing. As such the cement plants are established in the mandal Jaggayyapet.

The Limestone is dark gray in colour, fine grained and massive. honeycomb and elephant-skin patterns are in the weathered surface of limestone due to differential weathering exhibiting conchoidal fracture. The reports on the area inferred 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, Vedadri, Muktyala and R.F of the Jaggayyapeta mandal. There are 13 mining leases exists in the area. They are consuming the mineral for their own cement plants.

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 observe 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.

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

DMG, GoAP

26

District Survey Report - 2018

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

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 are prospected by the Geological Survey of India as detailed below; 1. Binnyꞌs Main : Situated about 3.5 km. N.W. of Kondapalle on quarry the Kondapalle-Dongamarla Bhavi forest road.

7. Gangineni quarry : About one km. south-west of Gangineni R.S. (16044ꞌ30" : 80031ꞌ15") 8. Trial pits on the : On the eastern slope of a hill about 2 km. south hill Silpiralla Venu of the peak .1564. 9. Kanchaipolam trial : About 2.5 km. S.S.W. of Dongamarla Bhavi pits R.H. (16041ꞌ: 80030ꞌ; 65 D/10).

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 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 a 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 at top and bottom and overlies the rift fill.

The basin tilt towards SE which resulted 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.

36

District Survey Report - 2018

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.9) mapped in Krishna District are described as follows.

2.3a. 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 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 moves 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.

DMG, GoAP

37

District Survey Report - 2018

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.

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.

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

2.3b 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

DMG, GoAP

38

District Survey Report - 2018

the water within the wave. This wave energy is generated by the frictional effect of winds moving over the ocean surface. The higher the wind speed and the 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 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 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

DMG, GoAP

39

District Survey Report - 2018

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 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.

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.

DMG, GoAP

40

District Survey Report - 2018

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.

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. 2.3c Landforms of Structural Origin

Landform of structural origin is related to structural aspect of the area. Most of the landforms under this class has 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 variation is 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).

DMG, GoAP

41

District Survey Report - 2018

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 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 out crop of the resistant rocks, the formation of the ridge being controlled by the differential erosion of the gently inclined strata.

2.3d. 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

DMG, GoAP

42

District Survey Report - 2018

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 same everywhere because of rocks varying resistance to change. As a result weathering and erosion yield 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 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 form 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 and discontinuous veneer of alluvium derived from the upland masses and in transit across the surface.

DMG, GoAP

43

District Survey Report - 2018

Pediment-Inselberg Complex: The pediments dotted by numerous inselberg of small sizes, which makes it difficult to distinguish from the pediments. Hence it is called as 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, 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.

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

2.4 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).

DMG, GoAP

44

District Survey Report - 2018

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. These consolidated which are part of eastern ghat mobile belt are highly disturbed (Fig.10). 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

District Survey Report - 2018

Ground water occurs in all most 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 to 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

water is generally limited to shallow to moderate depths only, whereas in the southern part of the delta it occurs as pockets and lenses. 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 to 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. Water Level Scenario 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 Jaggayyapeta, Vijayawada, Musunuru water levels are more 2m bgl (CGWB, 2013). 3.2 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

49

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 potable category remaining 10% of the area is covered in hills and water bodies of entire District (Fig.12). The occurrence and movement of groundwater in an area is 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, 2017b).

4. Surface Water and Irrigation Resources of the District

4.1 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 is 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.

4.2 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 assemblies. The mandals covered are Avanigada, Gangavaram, Gudivada, Kaikalur, Machilipatnam, Pamarru, Pedana, Penamaluru, Vijayawada East, Vijayawada West, and Vijayawada Central respectively. The overall coverage under major irrigation project is 1,008,304 acres. The major ongoing irrigation project is Indra Sagar project right main canal, Under this ongoing project about 63,000 acres are covered that fall under five assemblies. The mandals covered are Gangavaram, Mylavaram, Nuzvid, Vijayawada central and Vijayawada west.

5. Land Utilization, Forest and Slope in the District

The Land Use / Land Cover (LULC) pattern of any region is an outcome of various physical, cultural factors and their utilization by a 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. 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 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 detailed for further planning, development, and decision-making, which is essential for meeting the increasing demands and welfare of the ever-growing population.

5.1 Land Use / Land Cover Classification

Various land use/land cover categories have been delineated by using 3 seasons (Kharif, Rabi & Zaid) satellite data 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

District Survey Report - 2018

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

River/Stream-Non Perennial

Reservoir/Tanks-Seasonal

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

5.2 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. The steeper the ground surface 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,

DMG, GoAP

hazard management both at surface and subsurface. In view of this, slope will plays an important role while doing decentralized planning at grassroots level. Traditionally contours information from 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 topographic maps are used for preparation of slope by manual procedures 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 one of the GIS layers play an important role in natural resources and district planning process. It is proposed to 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. 14 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, Kanchikacherla, Ibrahimpatnam, Vijayawada (Rural) and Agiripalli mandals. Very gently sloping to gentle sloping categories are found in parts of Chatrai, Musunuru, Nuzvid and Reddigudem mandals.

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 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.

6. Agricultural Resources in the District

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 crop in Andhra Pradesh in both Kharif seasons. In this connection, Department of Agriculture and 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 for estimation and monitoring the crops.

6.1 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 mango 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.

7.4 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 existing. The Iron Ore mining leases are non-working due to insufficient deposit and no present market.

Among the minor minerals the quarrying activity is predominate 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 No's) are playing major role in the developmental activities of civil constructions. In recent sand policy, sand available along the Krishna river and Munneru river 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, Penuganchiprolu 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.

7.5. 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.
