  • INTRODUCTION Geographical Area of Investigation Except Around
    INTRODUCTION Geographical Area of Investigation Except around Mumbai and along the eastern limits, the state of Maharashtra presents a monotonously uniform, skyline, horizon etc. The accurate and detailed description of places of Maharashtra State is the outcome of geological & structure. Maharashtra state area barring the extreme eastern Vidharbha Region, Kolhapur Region and Sindhudurg Region is practically coterminous with Deccan Plate. The Deccan Traps formed between 60 and 68 million years ago at the end of Cretaceous period. The bulk of the Volcanic eruption occurred at the western Ghats. (66 million years ago). The outpouring of basic lava through fissures formed horizontally bedded besalt over large areas. Variations in their composition and structure have resulted in bedded basalt over large areas. Variation in their composition and structure have resulted in massive well jointed steel grey cliff faces alternating with structural benches of vesicular amygadaloidal lava and ash layers, all of which contribute to the pyramidal shaped hills and crest level plateau. Sculpture of earth crust at tropical. Climate where land form features occur due to semi arid condition. The rounding of hill. Climax region under wet condition. The geographical changes associated with fluvial association with the rivers such as Krishna, Bhima, Godavari, Tapi, Purna and Wardha. Where conspicuous role in the denudation of land surface occur due to pluvial association. Wainganga river where having open river valleys alternating with pleateau fluvial action form the ribs of Sahyadrian backbone.

  • CZMP of Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation in 1:25000 Scale
    Centre for Earth Science Studies, Thiruvananthapuram CZMP of Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation in 1:25000 scale 1. Introduction The preparation of the CZMP for Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation has been undertaken as part of the CZMP preparation for the coastal zone of Thane and Sindhudurg districts. The approach and methodology followed are the same for all the Municipal Corporations, Municipal Councils and rural areas in the above districts. The damages to the coastal zone and the impact of coastal hazards to communities and properties, to a certain extent, can be controlled by regulating high impact activities in the coastal zone. It was with this objective the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification (MoEF, 2011; 1991) was introduced in the country. 1. 1 Coastal Zone Management Plans The CRZ provides a spatial planning framework for Coastal Zone Management Plans which provide setbacks around sensitive eco-zones restricting development and other activities close to it. Setbacks require specific reference lines and boundaries for its meaningful implementation. The High Tide Line (HTL) forms the cardinal reference line for determining the setbacks for CRZ. The 100, 200 and 500m CRZ lines landward from the HTL are the landward setback lines. The Low Tide Line (LTL) and the Territorial water boundary (12 NM) form the setback lines towards the sea. The Coastal Zone Management Plans are prepared in 2 scales: 1. CZMP consisting of CRZ maps in 1:25000 scale with Survey of toposheets as base maps 2. CZMP consisting of CRZ maps in 1:4000 scale with cadastral maps as base maps The major work components are: i.
