The entire area falls in Survey of India degree sheets 54 B, C and F. The various rock types exposed in the area belong to the Bhilwara, Delhi and Vindhyan Supergroups. The Bhilwara Supergroup is represented by the Mangalwar complex, the Hindoli Group and the 3 | P a g e DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT, SAWAI MADHOPUR (Under Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change, New Delhi, Notification Date 25-07-2018.) Ranthambhor Group, in decreasing order of antiquity, is exposed in the southwestern part. The NE-SW trending linear quartzite ridges between Bonli and Sarsop belong to the Mangalwar complex. Low grade metamorphites of the Hindoli Group include shale, slate, phyllite with minor quartzite which are exposed NW of Jatwara. The overlying Ranthambhor quartzites occur east of Jatwara and support luxuriant growth of vegetation and hosts Game Sanctuary. Some quartzite bands belonging to the Alwar Group (Delhi Supergroup) form strike ridges in the northwestern corner of the district. These are intruded by granite. The Vindhyan Supergroup consisting of various types of shale, sandstone and limestone is represented by the Bhander, Rewa, Kaimur, Sand and Satola Group in increasing order of antiquity. These rocks occupy the eastern part of the district and are separated from the older rocks by a major reverse fault, the Great Boundary Fault. A major part of the district is occupied by the thick alluvium related to the various river systems.

The mining will generate direct and indirect employment during mining operations and most of the unskilled labour will be used for mining purposes and they will be paid more than minimum wages prescribed by State Govt. In general, there will be no adverse effect on human health as no blasting or handling of toxic material is involved. All the safety measures will be strictly followed to prevent occupational risk during excavation, loading and transportation. This will be a good source of revenue generation for the government as after getting the Environment Clearance; the minor mineral concessioner will have to pay the Royalty Price, DMFT and GST which will enhance the revenue of the State and Central Government. 5.0 Mineral Resources: The district is endowed with a variety of mineral resources. Although district has no significant deposits of major metallic minerals. Among industrial minerals district possesses deposits of soapstone, limestone, quartz and china clay besides, minor occurrences of barites, garnets, base metals, wolframite, scheelite, iron and manganese ore. Among dimensional stone granite is available. Other building stones and building material like masonry stone, dolomite (limeburning), brick earth, morum, kankar and bajri are also available in fairly good quantity mineral wise description is as under. Soapstone: Soapstone occurs in the basal parts of the Alwar quartzite of Delhi Supergroup in the Rewali area of Bamanwas tehsil. It also occurs in between quartzites and chlorite schist of Bhilwara Supergroup in Sarsop- Pakhala belt and Thari of Bonli tehsil of Sawai Madhopur district. Talc occurs as lenses and veins varying in length from 4 to 90m, 0.5 to 2.0m in thickness which may continue below 20m depth. It is pale green to greenish white and white in colour, cleaved and foliated but massive variety is rare and localized in few pockets. Soapstone is of very low grade. There is no lease of soapstone in the district. Limestone: District has four limestone belts viz I. Phalodi-Torda (3km X 100-150m, avg. CaO- 43-44%, MgO- 1-2%) II. Bherupura- Bajrakho- Lakshmipura (5km X 100-150m, avg. CaO-44%, MgO-1.30%) III. Pali- Chambla (2.41sq.km, thickness- 5 to 25m, avg. CaO-43%) IV. Chhan (1km X 30m, avg. CaO-41%, MgO-6.39%) These limestone are grayish and reddish in colour and have thin (1 to 2mm thick) partings of shale. The limestone belongs to Lower Bhander Group of Vindhyan Supergroup. Except Chhan the three belts were occupied by M/s Jaipur Udyog Ltd for its cement factory but factory is closed in 1985 and revenue from limestone is nil. All these areas are lying in reserved forest. There is no lease of limestone in the district. Quartz: 5 | P a g e DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT, SAWAI MADHOPUR (Under Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change, New Delhi, Notification Date 25-07-2018.)

  • Sustainable Water Management Practices: Addressing a Water Scarcity Crisis in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
    1 Sustainable Water Management Practices: Addressing a Water Scarcity Crisis in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India View from Jaigarh Fort - Jaipur, Rajasthan. February 2019. Photo by Author Kira Baltutis University of Illinois at Chicago | Master’s in Urban Planning and Policy Email: [email protected] 2 Abstract Although urbanization often drives development and brings potential for prosperity, it also presents significant social, economic and environmental challenges that can exacerbate existing issues among populations experiencing growth. The expansion of urban and peri-urban communities, coupled with climate change, has led to the depletion (and often contamination) of existing water resources that pose grave challenges to the future of our planet’s inhabitants. This report focuses on the crucial role of water supply to residents in the rapidly growing city of Jaipur, situated in the arid state of Rajasthan, India, which has a population of 3.1 million per India’s 2011 census and an annual growth rate of 3%. Water scarcity has become an ongoing headline issue in Jaipur as household access to government-supplied piped water has been limited to approximately one hour a day between the hours of 6:00 and 7:00 a.m., giving residents just enough time to fill up any water storage containers for all daily needs. For people living in freshwater-rich regions with unlimited access to clean water, this can be a nearly unfathomable way of life. To explore the myriad implications of this phenomenon at the community level, I conducted a 10-day long immersive fieldwork in Jaipur between January and February 2019. Through community member interviews and observational research in six key locations throughout the city of Jaipur and Amer, an adjoining historic settlement, I use both personal experiences and verified data to examine the challenges Jaipur faces to provide a clean, affordable, and consistent water supply to its expanding population.

    Journal of Global Resources Volume 6 (01) August 2019-January 2020 Page 183-188 UGC–CARE Listed Journal in Group D ISSN: 2395-3160 (Print), 2455-2445 (Online) 29 DRINKING WATER AVAILABILITY AND MANAGEMENT: A CASE STUDY OF SAWAI MADHOPUR DISTRICT Prem Sonwal Assistant Professor, Department of Geography, SCRS Government College, Sawai Madhopur (Rajasthan), India Email: [email protected] Abstract: Drinking water is an essential element for living. Article 47 of the Constitution of India makes it a top priority for the governments to provide safe and clean drinking water to every citizen of the country. In India, due to a 3-fold increase in population during 1951-2010, the per capita availability of water in the country as a whole decreased from 5,177 m3/year in 1951 to 1,588 m3/year in 2010. Supply of good quality water in sufficient quantities and safe sanitation practices in urban and rural areas are interconnected with the health and economic well-being of the people. Water used for the drinking purpose is known as potable water, which must be sparklingly clear, odourless, neither hard nor too soft and free from bacteria and impurities. In Rajasthan, 91 percent of the Domestic Water requirements of Rural / Urban Sector are being catered from Groundwater Sources and only 9 percent Water requirement is being met from surface water sources. In spite of poor quality and meager quantity, the groundwater resources in the state are the only most reliable and dependable source for sustenance of life. As a result of increasing population, urbanization, expansion of irrigated agriculture and other activities, the ground water level in Sawai Madhopur district has come under the category of 'over exploitation' category and the quality of water has also come down.
