Location and Geographical Area :- Hingoli district lies between 19.05 to 20.05 North Latitude and 76.30 to 77.30 East longitude. The Kayadhu and Purna rivers bound the major part of the district. Hingoli district situated in a Godavari Basin. It has common border on North with Washim and Buldhana, due East Yawatmal and Nanded due south Nanded and Parbhani, due east Parbhani and Jalana. The total area of district is 4827 Sq. Km. which is about 1.60% of total area of Maharashtra state. 2. Overview of Mining Activity in the District As Hingoli district lies on Basaltic Deccan Trap. Occurrences of major minerals are not reported from this area till date. But minor mineral which used as construction material like river sand, stone, murrum and soil are comprises economical wealth of district. Sand mining in district is mainly carried out in exposed river bed of Purna and Kayadhu rivers. These two rivers are major source of river sand in district. The sand plots where river sand deposits are thick and necessary to mined to maintain its natural flow and HFL level (like point bar) are allowed for sand mining. As per NGT direction only manual mining of sand is allowed. Stone quarries are important to maintain continuous flow of construction material like gitti to the infrastructural development. Temporary Permits/License are also permitted in district for murrum, stone and soil mining so that potter, brick manufactures and road builders can maintain their routine as well as government development work smoothly and continuously.

Mineral Deposits in Hingoli District As district lies on Deccan Trap, no major minerals are present in district. But on the other hand basaltic stone is abundantly available. (Refer Geological resource map for Hingoli district.) Stone quarries are leased by District Collector or State Government as per Maharashtra Minor Mineral (Extraction and Development) Rule 2013. Sand is replenishable. Due to sparse rainfall over the last few years the river flows to an average height but flows to its maximum height only during and just after monsoon season. Mining of Building Grade sand from the river bed will not have any impact on the ground water table in the area. During heavy rains the flood waters overflow the bank and encroaches the fields and dry regions. The flood have its own ways to deposit sand not only on the bank but also on the dry region. The flood deposited sand on the river basin by stratification through lateral deposition of sands on the land surface by Differential Lateral Deposition (DLD). The later grade is coarse, medium and fine sand to soil-mud beyond. In this soil, agricultural operation goes on, from the bank to the cultivated land surfaces. The yearly deposition of sand is by natural filling during the flood season with slight variation depending upon the amount of river flow, the quantity of water flowing and the amount of sand load carried during the river flow. The deposition pattern of sand will be monitored every year and measurement will be carried out as soon as the monsoon comes to the end. Deposition rate for the year 2018-19 is monitored, calculated & mapped with the help of technical consultant data for gauging of stream. Based on siltation rate and survey every year sand ghats are proposed for scooping of sand and auctioned as per the State Government Policy empowered under rule 15 of Mines and Minerals (Development & Regulation) Act 1957 and amendments thereof. 7 3.

Process of Deposition in the rivers of the District It falls in the dynamics of hydrological engineering & has no direct impact on sand deposition but has some relevance in respect to the river dynamics. Flow of water in the river depends on the topography, such as slope of the river basin, width of the basin, nature of the river bank like- gentle or steep slope or rocky edges. The river decompose the edges and takes rotatory motion and cuts deep pot holes. If the bed of the river has rocky mounds there will be reverse flow of water, back and front and whirlpools are formed & hence mixing of sand grains of all size occurs. 8 6.1. River Dynamics (Physical) Kayadhu, Purna and Painganga Rivers are in the matured stage of development running in wide serpentine course. The river meanders with convex & concave shape. The river in its course eroded on convex side and at the concave side sand grain deposited. The mining operation is most profitable on the concave side. There is yearly deposition of sand as the amount of sand excavated gets redeposit in the pits by naturals filling during flood season with slight variation depending upon the amount of river flow, the quantity of water flowing and the amount sand load carried during the river flow.
