The Ballari District Survey Report

Preamble:- This District Survey report for sand mining or river bed mining and mining of other minor minerals is prepared as per Paragraph 7 (iii) (a) of Ministry Of Environment, Forest And Climate Change Notification, New Delhi, the 15th January 2016.

1. INTRODUCTION:-

Ballari district takes its name from the word Ballari which refers to goddess Durugamma as this goddess had manifested herself in the town. Some of the events in the great epic Ramayana are related to this historical place. It is said that Rama while searching for Sita met Sugreeva and at a place which is very near to , the celebrated capital of kingdom. The history speaks volumes about significant role it acquired during Satavahanas, Kadambas, Chalukyas of Kalyana, Kalachuryas, Sevunas and Hoysalas period. There upon the Vijayanagara rulers built the " City of Victory " on the bank of at Hampi in Taluk. This area which had witnessed the prosperity to its peak fell into political turmoil after the fall of Vijayanagara in 1565. This district was transferred to the erstwhile on 1st October 1953 from . With the re- organisation of the districts during 1997, the number of taluks is reduced to 7. The Harapanahalli taluk has been transferred to district.

Mineral and ores are exhaustible resources. Their conservation through rational mine planning, prudent exploitation and judicious utilization is therefore, obligatory on the part of the individuals responsibility for as well as of institutions charged with, the exploitation of minerals / ores from the mother earth. Mineral resources get progressively exhausted as they are mined and removed greatest care is, therefore, required in planning for a wise utilization of mineral resources which are non-renewable.

06. Process of Deposition of sediments in the rivers of the District.

Sand deposition in the district is by fluvial process. i.e. weathering, scouring, sediment transportation by water course and settlement of Bed load at places where the current velocity suddenly drops. Sediment refers to the conglomerate of materials, organic and inorganic, that can be carried away by water, wind or ice. While the term is often used to indicate soil-based, mineral matter (e.g. clay, silt and sand), decomposing organic substances and inorganic biogenic material are also considered sediment. Most mineral sediment comes from erosion and weathering, while organic sediment is typically detritus and decomposing material such as algae. These particulates are typically small, with clay defined as particles less than 0.00195 mm in diameter, and coarse sand reaching up only to 1.5 mm in diameter. However, during a flood or other high flow event, even large rocks can be classified as sediment as they are carried downstream. Sediment is a naturally occurring element in many bodies of water, though it can be

32 influenced by anthropogenic factors. Sediment transport is the movement of organic and inorganic particles by water. In general, greater the flow, more the sediment that will be conveyed. Water flow can be strong enough to suspend particles in the water column as they move downstream, or simply push them along the bottom of a waterway. Transported sediment may include mineral matter, chemicals and pollutants, and organic material. Another name for sediment transport is sediment load. The total load includes all particles moving as bedload, suspended load, and wash load. Sediment transport is not constant. In fact, it is constantly subject to change. In addition to the changes in sediment load due to geology, geomorphology and organic elements, sediment transport can be altered by other external factors. The alteration to sediment transport can come from changes in water flow, water level, weather events and human influence. Bed load is the portion of sediment transport that rolls, slides or bounces along the bottom of a waterway. This sediment is not truly suspended, as it sustains intermittent contact with the streambed, and the movement is neither uniform nor continuous. Bed load occurs when the force of the water flow is strong enough to overcome the weight and cohesion of the sediment. While the particles are pushed along, they typically do not move as fast as the water around them, as the flow rate is not great enough to fully suspend them. Bed load transport can occur during low flows (smaller particles) or at high flows (for larger particles). Approximately 5-20% of total sediment transport is bed load. In situations where the flow rate is strong enough, some of the smaller bed load particles can be pushed up into the water column and become suspended.

Sand is a residual material of preexisting rocks. It is therefore composed of minerals that were already there in the rocks before the disintegration commenced. However, there is one important aspect - sand occurs in a harsh environment where only the strongest survive.

33

Quartz is one of these minerals but not the only one. It is so dominant in most sand samples because it is so abundant. 12% of the crust is composed of it. Only feldspars are more abundant than quartz. Relatively rare minerals like tourmaline, zircon, rutile, etc. are also very resistant to weathering, but they rarely make up more than few percents of the composition of sand.

Sand forms mostly by the chemical and/or physical breakdown of rocks. This process is collectively known as weathering. Physical and chemical weathering are usually treated separately, but in reality they usually go hand in hand and it is often difficult to separate one from another because they tend to support each other.

Chemical weathering is much more important sand-producing factor overall. It operates most efficiently in humid and hot climate. Physical weathering dominates in cold and/or dry areas. Weathering of bedrock which produces sand usually takes place in soil. Soil covers bedrock as a thin layer, providing moisture for the disintegration process of rocks.

Granite is a common rock type and serves as a great example of sand forming processes. Granite is composed of feldspar (pink and white) which decomposes chemically into clay minerals. Another important constituent of granite is quartz (gray). Quartz is very resistant to chemical weathering. It does not alter to any other mineral - quartz is quartz and will remain that way. It eventually goes into solutions but very slowly. Hence, disintegrated granite yields lots of quartz grains which will be transported mostly by running water as sand grains.

Sand is transported by rivers, but average sand grains are too large and heavy for Average River to carry them in suspension. Hence, sand grains tend to move in jumps. They are lifted up by more energetic current and settle out when current velocity decreases and then wait for the next jump. This mode of

34 movement is known as saltation. Average silt grain moves differently. It is light-weight enough to be carried in suspension for a long time and this is actually one of the most important reasons why we treat silt separately from sand.

Most sand grains carried by the rivers are eventually deposited at the river mouths where the current velocity suddenly drops.

Sediment builds up on human-made breakwaters because they reduce the speed of water flow, so the stream cannot carry as much sediment load. Sediment is transported based on the strength of the flow that carries it and its own size, volume, density, and shape. Stronger flows will increase the lift and drag on the particle, causing it to rise, while larger or denser particles will be more likely to fall through the flow. Rivers and streams carry sediment in their flows. This sediment can be in a variety of locations within the flow, depending on the balance between the upwards velocity on the particle (drag and lift forces), and the settling velocity of the particle.

09. Climate, Temperature & Rainfall:-

The climate of Bellary district is quite moderate shows dryness in major part of the year and a hot summer from March to May months where mean maximum temperatures ranges from 23.2°C to 40.4°C. June to September is the southwest monsoon period where the temperature 19.7°C to 35.1°C, October and November is the post monsoon retreating monsoon season with clear bright weather with the mean daily temperature ranges from 14.4°C to 31.1°C. During December to February weather remains dry and comparatively cool season. The skies clouded or overcast during southwest monsoon. During October and November some of the depressions and cyclonic storms originates in Bay of Bengal moving in a westerly to north westerly direction which passes through

42 the district causing wide spread heavy rains and high winds. The mean maximum temperature in the district is 40.4°C and the mean minimum temperature is 14.3°C (January month). Relative humidity ranges from 48 to 74% in the morning and in the evening it ranges from 27% to 61%. The winds are light to moderate with some strengthening in the south west monsoon. During October to April, the winds blow from directions between north east and south 6 east and are calm in morning. Winds blow southwest and northwest direction during May to September with an average velocity of 12 kmph. These high winds combined with higher temperature result in high degree of evaporation to the tune of 12.5 mm/day in May against a minimum of 5.4 mm/day in the month of December. Bellary district receives rainfall from southwest monsoon from June to September and northeast monsoon from October to December. Overall on an average, there are 43 normal rainy days (1901-1970), where minimum in Bellary taluk with 32.4 rainy days, maximum in Sandur taluk with 56.4 rainy days. Actual rainy days recorded during the year 2005 ranged from 41 to 67 wherein Kudligi taluk is the minimum with 41 rainy days and maximum is in Sandur taluk again with 67 rainy days. As per the 1951 to 1970 rainfall data analysis, the precipitation during southwest monsoon accounts for 60% of the total amount of rainfall and during northeast monsoon it is 24% the remaining 11.62% is sporadic in summer. September is the wettest month in the year.

The district has a meteorological observatory at Bellary. The period from the later half of November is the coolest part of the year. The temperature begins to rise by the end of the February and by April it is hottest.

As per rainfall data from 2005 to 2012, the district has received an average rainfall of 578.4mm. Details as follows:

10. Physiography Geomorphology and Soil Types:-

The district may be classified as Northern Maidan region with monotonous, treeless, and expansive plateau landscape. The step like landscape, hills and ridges are the general features of the northern maidan region. The central part of the Bellary district is occupied by hills and plains to east and west. The Sandur hills run North West of the district dividing the district in to two distinct parts. The eastern part consists of Hospet, Bellary and Siruguppa taluks. The western part consists of Hadagalli, Hagaribommanahalli, Kudligi and Sandur taluks. The Tungabhadra River forms the eastern and northern boundary of the district. The average elevation of the district is 493.71m amsl. The Sandur hills are the main physical features with valley and its lush green forest growth. It extends from Mallapuram on the bank of river Tungabhadra and runs for 48 kms in the south easterly direction up to Bellary. The highest elevation in the ridge is the famous Kumaraswamy hills which is 1084m amsl. Ramanmalai (993.1m amsl) and jambunatha hill (908 m amsl) are the major ridges in the district. The other ridges in the district are Ramagod (1058 m amsl) and Donimalai (1027m amsl). Some of the isolated peaks in the district are

44

Kallahalli gudda (836m amsl), Narasimhadevaragudda (775 m amsl), Gudekote (836m amsl) and Bellary hills (602m amsl). The sandur hills, the mallappanagudi and kallahalli gudda ranges are of dharwar schists while the rest of the hills and clusters are of older granitic formation. The soils of the district are derived from Granites, Gneisses and Schistose rocks. The Sandy loam soil mixed with black and grey soil occurs along the stream beds. These are originated from gneisses and granites. They are permeable and mildly alkaline in nature. The thickness of the soil varies from 0.2 to 1.00m. The Red soil are the major type of soil in the district, found mainly at elevated places especially at fringes of hills due to decomposition of rocks and surrounding granitic and gneissic 7 hills. These soils are with high permeability and neutral PH. Black soil with high initial infiltration rate when dry and cracked. On getting wet cracks will close and infiltration rate will be very low. These are derived from schistose rocks. The Black soil is found in the prolonged submerged areas and canal command areas having low Permeability. It is calcareous and mildly alkaline in nature.

11. Geology & Mineral Wealth:-

Geology of the area is dated back to pre-Cambrian age. The rocks occurring in the district can be broadly divided into two types namely a) Schistose rocks of Dharwarian age b) Gneissess and granite belonging to PGC & Closepet granite. The schistose rock occur as long and linear bands which comprise of both sedimentary and volcanic suites subjected to low grade regional metaphorphism and different phases of deformation. There are a few major schist belts within the district, which trend in a general NorthWest- SouthEast direction. They are named as i) SandurSchist Belt, ii) Pennar Hagari Schist Belt, and iii) Southern part of Gadag Belt. While the western part of the district exposes a fragment of metabasalt-gewacke sequence of Dharwar Supergroup (Gadag Belt). The major portion of the sandur belt renowned for its rich iron and manganese deposits occupy the central part of the district and Hagari segment of Hungund-Kushtagi-Hagari belt is seen in the eastern part. In all these belts, volcanic are represented by repetitive sequence of meta / basalt,

45 meta / andesite, meta / rhyolite and sheet like bodies of metagabbroid and metadolerite. Metabasalt is predominant covering about 70% of the volcanic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are represented by quartzite, ferruginous / Manganese phyllite, grewacke and garnetiferous mica schist. The schistose rocks have undergone lower green schist to amphibolites facies of regional metamorphism.

Peninsular Gneisses and Closepet Granite constitute about 70% of the area of the Ballari District. Peninsular Gneisses are the oldest rocks which form the basement and comprise migmatites and associated biotite gneiss and granodioritic to tonalitic rocks. The younger Closepet granite shows intrusive relationship with the PGC and schistose rocks.The basic dykes occurring in the ballari district are many and vary in size and composition. This pegmatite veins traverse the granites and occur profusely in migmatite zones around ballari and in the schistose rocks on both the sides of and at kampli.

The general strike of the schistose rocks varies from NW-SE to NNW- SSE with moderate dips of 500-600 both towards NE & SW. the general foliation trend of gneisses is NNW-SSE with almost subvertical dips. The tectonic history of rock formations reveals that the Precambrian schist belts have been initially folded into synclines and anticlines and the cores of the anticline are occupied by the gneisses and granites. These have been later refolded almost parallel to the early fold axis forming doubly plunging folds.

Mineral Wealth:

Iron Ore:- GSI has estimated a reserve of about 1876 million tonnes of iron ore with about 63% of total iron in Sandur belt. Large deposits of lateritoid haematitic iron ore in association with manganese ore from prominent ridges of the Sandur schist belt. There are six ranges carrying iron ore deposits viz., Donimalai, Kumaraswamy, Ramandurg, Yeshavanthanagar, Devagiri and Thimmappanagudi. The Ramandurg deposit is about 10,400 m long and 150 m wide with 62.3 to 62.6% Fe. In Donimalai, six ore bodies with sizeable reserves of 65.2% Fe have been estimated. In Kumaraswamy, Geological Survey of India has estimated iron ore over a strike length of 2.5 km and width of 465 m.

46

Manganese:- The bimetallic (Fe-Mn) low-phosphorus manganese ore deposits as discontinuous bodies occur all along the western and southern margin of Sandur schist belt over a strike length of about 40 km with average width of about 500 m. The deposits in the Deogiri hill are the largest. The manganese horizon is stratigraphically confined to Deogiri Formation whose thickness varies from 975 to 1000 m consisting of meta- greywacke, carbonates with minor interbeds of quartzites, arkose, meta-chert, basic and acid volcanic rocks. Exploration by large scale mapping and drilling carried out by GSI has identified three distinct manganese horizons over a strike length of 15 km viz., (i) top lateritoid horizon (ii) middle reef like manganese ore and (iii) bottom clay mixed zone. Pyrolusite, cryptomelane, psilomelane are the principal ore minerals. Hausmanite, hollandite and mangano-magnetite have also been recorded. The probable reserves of manganese ore in the entire belt are estimated to be 107.36 million tonnes (Kameshwar et al, 2000) Ochre:- In sandur schist belt, red ochre occurs on a large scale associated with the haematite deposits near Ettinahatti, Karadikolla and Ramandurg plateau.

Gold:- Traces of gold in PPM is reported to be available near .

White Quartz:- Quartz reefs traversing granitic gneisses have been worked at Kanchegar- Bellagal, Haravanhalli, Lingadahalli, Ayyinahalli, Marutla, Anthapura, Devalapura, Appalapuram and Avinomdugu.

Ballari District is also bestowed with resources of ornamental Granite/Gneiss in the taluks of Hosapet sandur, & siraguppa, Building Stones of good quality, soapstone, silica sand, ordinary sand etc.

(a) District Wise details of river or stream and other sand source:-

River TungaBhadra is the major river in the district of Ballari. The Tungabhadra River is a river in India that starts and flows through the state of Karnataka during most of its course, before flowing along the border between Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh and ultimately joining the Krishna

47

River along the border of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In the epic Ramayana, the Tungabhadra River was known by the name of Pampa. The Tungabhadra River is formed by the confluence of the Tunga River and the Bhadra River at which flow down the eastern slope of the in the state of Karnataka.The 2 rivers originate in of Karnataka along with the Nethravathi (west-flowing river, joining the Arabian Sea near Mangalore), the Tunga and the Bhadra rise at Gangamoola, in Varaha Parvatha in the Western Ghats at an elevation of 1198 metres. The Bhadra river flows through the industrial city Bhadravathi. More than 100 tributaries, streams, creeks, rivulets and the like contribute to the two rivers. The journey of the Tunga and the Bhadra is 147 km (91 mi) and 171 km (106 mi) respectively, till they join at Koodli, at an elevation of about 610 metres near Holehonnur, about 15 km (9.3 mi) from Shivamogga, areca granary of the country. It is a confluence of both the Dwaitha and the Adwaitha philosophies. From there, the Tungabhadra meanders through the plains to a distance of 531 km (330 mi) and mingles with the Krishna at Gondimalla, near the famous Alampur in Mahaboobnagar District of Telangana . The Varada flowing through , Uttara and Haveri districts and Hagari in Chitradurga, Bellary district, and Raichur Districts in Karnataka and the Handri in Kurnool distriict of A.P. are the main tributaries of the Tungabhadra. Many rivulets and streams join these tributaries. There are many holy places all along the rivers: primarily temples of Saiva Cult on the banks of the Bhadra and all the cults on the banks of the Tunga. , Sarada Petham established by the Shankaracharya is the most famous one on the left bank of the Tunga, about 50 km (31 mi) downstream of its origin. Manthralayam Sree Raghavendra Swamy Muth in and Alampur in Mahaboobnagar District, Jogulamba is the presiding deity, known as Dakshina Kashi are the other important pilgrimage

48 centres. There is a cluster of Nava Brahma temples constructed by the early Chalukyas. An important feature of the river banks is the flood protection walls all along the rivers, constructed by Sri Krishna Devaraya between 1525 and 1527 AD. You find them wherever there is a possibility of land erosion during the floods. It starts at Sringeri and ends at Kurnool, just few kilometers from its mouth. They are stone constructions and still intact. Huge boulders of 3' x 4' x 5' are also used in its construction. It then takes a northeasterly direction through rugged ridges formed by boulders piled on ancient granite outcroppings over the elevated plateau that dominates peninsular India, the .

Near Hampi Piles of granite in varying shades of grey, ochre and pink dominate the landscape. The river has cut through weaker rocky substrata of the Hampi landscape and created a narrow gorge where granite hills confine the river in a deep ravine.

Near Hampi

49

In this setting the ruins of Vijayanagara and Hampi, the seat of power of the Vijayanagar empire, overlook this holy river, creating a mythological landscape merging sacred traditions about a multitude of significant divinities.

The granite outcrops slowly disappear as the river flows south and the land opens into a long, broad plain ending at the rising slopes of the Sandur hills, rich in iron and manganese, beyond which is the town of Hosapete. The Tungabhadra Dam was constructed at Hosapete in the middle of the 20th century to harness the river water, aiding the growth of agriculture and industry in the region.

The Tungabhadra River then flows east, joining the Krishna along the border of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states. From here the Krishna continues east to empty into the Bay of Bengal. The wedge of land that lies north of the Tungabhadra River, between the Tungabhadra and the Krishna, is known as the Raichur Doab.

Thus River TungaBhadra is the major river in the district of Ballari flowing through in Huvina Hadagali, Hosapete & siraguppa taluks of the district. Other streams in the Ballari District are Hagari River (Vedavathi) flowing through Ballari & Siraguppa Taluks and ChikkaHagari Halla flowing through Hagari Bommanahalli Taluk. Both the Hagari River & Chikka Hagari Halla are tributaries of Tunghabhadra river, a part of Krishna Main Basin. b) District Wise availability of sand resources:-

In the District of Ballari, though not uniformly distributed, sand is deposited all through the river course of Tunghabhadra, Chikka Hagari Halla & Vedavathi (Hagari) River. Approximately a quantity of about 19380000 Cu Meters of sand deposit is estimated to be available in the district by considering the total length of the river in the district, average width of the river in the district and by considering the average depth of sand deposit as 0.5 meters as the deposit is not uniformly distributed all along.
