NATURAL ENVIRONMENT of the STUDY AREA Chapter II CHAPTER II NATURAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE STUDY AREA Chapter II Natural environment of the study area 2.1 Introduction It is necessary to study the natural environment of area as it directly or indirectly influences the health of the local people. Therefore, in the present work, the existing environment of study area has been discussed. For this purpose environmental components have been studied for assessment of groundwater quality in the study area. The components studied are geology, hydrology, climate, and geomorphology. 2.2 Study area Shirur Taluka of the Pune District has been selected for the present research work (Fig 2.1). It is located in the north-eastern part of Pune district. The Headquarter of the Tehsil is 68 km away from Pune city. Shirur Taluka is drought prone area. The study area lies in the river basin of Bhima, Ghod and Vel. These rivers together with rainfall offer water resource for agriculture and other activities. The area receives an average rainfall of 733 cm. The geographical location of the study area can be expressed as from 18° 49' 00"N latitude to 19° 14' 00"N latitude and from 74" 22' 00"E to 75 ° 30' 00"E longitude included in the survey of India topographic sheet Nos. 47J/1, 47J/2 47J/5, 47J/6, 47J/10, 47J/11 and 47 1/4 on the 1:50000 scale. The Taluka comprises about 116 villages having only one urban centre i.e. Shirur (Table 2.1). The population of the Taluka according to the census (2001) is 6, 48,179. Total 21 industries are in existence in the study area, out of which 11 industries are large scale, 02 industries are medium and 08 industries are in small scale. The industries are mainly automobile, electrical, electronics and chemical in nature. The total quantity of effluent generation is 1200 CMD. 21 Natural environment of the study area Table 2.1: Villages impounds in Shirur Taluka Village No Name Tahsil Village No Name Tahsil 1 Amdabad Shirur 59 Vadgaon Rasai Shirur 2 Alegaon Paga Shirur 60 Varude Shirur 3 Andhalgaon Shirur 61 Chandoh Shirur 4 Annapur Shirur 62 Ambale Shirur 5 Apti Shirur 63 Babhulsar Khurd Shirur 6 Chincholi Shirur 64 Bambhulsar Bk Shirur 7 Malthan Shirur 65 Choudhar Bend Shirur 8 Kendur Shirur 66 Darekarwadi Shirur 9 Khandale Shirur 67 Takali Haji Shirur 10 Kuruli Shirur 68 Sukrewadi Shirur 11 Nimone Shirur 69 Waghale Shirur 12 Rautwadi Shirur 70 Karanjawane Shirur 13 Malwadi (N.V.)

It is beyond doubt that groundwaters are highly polluted, especially in the changing rural areas into urban sectors (Laitinen and Harris, 1975) because of the sources like domestic wastes, industrial wastes, agricultural wastes, run-off fi-om the urban areas and soluble effluents. Thus the polluted groundwater is a major cause of the spread of epidemic and chronic diseases m human beings (Trivedi and Goel, 1984) such as typhoid, dysentery, jaundice, diarrhea, hepatitis etc. People of the area are wholly dependent on groundwater for their drinking and cooking purposes in the study area as it is the only source of drinking water for them and the MIDC sector since two decades in this area is creating severe groundwater and other envirorunental problems. Because of waste disposal and other human activities groundwater becomes polluted and therefore becomes less suitable for drinking, domestic and agricultural purposes. So it is very important to take some essential initiatives to curb this problem. The present research work involved the physico- chemical studies of the groundwaters in selected area of Shirur taluka which is important to detect the pollutants in groundwater, trace their source. Because of the establishment of Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) namely Ranjangaon-karegaon industrial area, the peripheral villages are getting fast developed which is why there is a deficiency of treated municipal water supply and hence there is no alternative for the use of groundwater in such parts of the taluka. Presumably most of the disorders are caused by contaminated drinking groundwater and hence the people frequently experiences episodes of various water borne diseases. Hence a need was felt to undertake studies to assess the quality of groundwaters in terms of their physico-chemical characteristics. 24 Natural environment of the study area \lkHvk\>tllK« IMN4 K •••. -J ' V ^ \m^.il Ki Study area Legend Village Name A vvaghaie A Pimpan Oumaia A Raniangaon Ganapffl A Onotcssigavi A Karegaon A BhalHlsar Khurd A BhamCJaroe A Karan)awar>e A Ntmgaon Mhaiii^gi A Khandale I j Village Boundarv Figure 2.1: Location map of the study area 25 Natural environment of the study area 2.3 Physical environment 2.3.1 Geology ShiruT taluka restrains to the Deccan Volcanic Province (DVP) of Cretaceous Eocene age (Krishnan, 1982; Sayyed and Himdekari, 2006) which is one of the most extensive flood basalt provinces of the world covering 5,00,000 km^ area in the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh (Fig. 2.2). The province is made up of several lava flows with the thickness of individual lava flow varying from a few meters to as much as 40m which are fine to medium grained basalts. They are fiirther characterized as compact, amygdaloidal and porphyritic basalts possessing low hydraulic conductivity (Pakhmode et al, 2003). The basaltic rocks occur as lava flows which are highly inhomogeneous and generally consist of lower massive unit and upper vesicular unit (Naik et al., 2008). The massive unit of the basaltic flows constitutes about 60 to 85% which is mostly fine grained, dense, compact and greenish to dark grey in colour possessing negligible primary porosity and permeability and thus generally acting as an impermeable layer. However, the process of weathering and the occurrence of joints and fractures at places make it moderately permeable. The vesicular upper unit which forms 15 to 40% of the flows is generally soft, fine grained and greenish to brownish in colour. The vesicles are usually rounded to oval-shaped and are either filled with secondary minerals such as zeolites, quartz and calcite or open or interconnected. The vesicular unit possesses primary porosity and is weathered in most parts which are conspicuous even at depth. The density of vesicles increases toward the top of each flow and if these vesicles are interconnected it makes it highly permeable and when the vesicles are filled with secondary minerals permeability decreases. Despite the fact that cavities, vesicles, flow contacts, lava pipes and tunnels can build up principal porosity in the basalt (Pawar and Shaikh, 1995) the flows in study area are less porous. Conversely jointing and fracturing by way of interconnectivity have conveyed localized secondary porosity and permeability to form suitable groundwater reservoirs at places (Pawar et al., 2008). Furthermore the cooling features like columnar joints serve as hydrologic 26 Natural environment of the study area discontinuities, which in turn function as pathways for information of rainwater (Fig. 2.3). Scale in kftn^efea Figure 2.2: Map showing Deccan Volcanic Province (DVP) of India Generally the consecutive lava flows are separated by a red layer, varying in thickness from 0.15 to Im, termed as 'red bole'. Red boles are considered to be in-situ products of weathering during a long quiescence period after the earlier flow (Sayyed and Hundekari, 2006; Ghosh et al, 2006) and subsequently backed by the succeeding flow.

  • The Ashtavinayaka Temples, the Yatra Vidhi and More
    Newsletter Archives www.dollsofindia.com Ashtavinayaka - the Eight Holy Abodes of Ganesha Copyright © 2018, DollsofIndia Sri Ganesha, also known as Vinayaka, is one of the most popular deities of the Hindu pantheon. Highly revered as the Harbinger of Success and the Remover of Obstacles, this Elephant- Headed son of Shiva and Parvati is venerated not only by Hindus, but also by people from all religions and all walks of life; from all over the world. One can find innumerable Ganesha temples all over the globe. In fact, all Hindu temples; irrespective of who the main deity is; necessarily have at least one shrine dedicated to Vighnavinayaka. Devotees first visit this shrine, pray to Ganesha to absolve them of their sins and only then proceed to the main sanctum. So exalted is the position of this God in Hindu culture. Shola Pith Ganapati Sculpture There are eight forms of Vinayaka, collectively referred to as Ashtavinayaka ('Ashta' in Sanskrit means 'eight'). The Ashtavinayaka Yatra implies a pilgrimage to the eight Vinayaka temples, which can be found in the Indian State of Maharashtra, situated in and around the city of Pune. The Yatra follows a particular route, in a pre-ascertained sequence. Each of these ancient Ashtavinayaka temples features a distinct murti (idol) of Ganesha and has a different legend behind its existence. Not only that; the appearance of each murti; even the angle of his trunk; are all distinct from one another. In this post, we bring you all the details on the Ashtavinayaka temples, the Yatra vidhi and more.

  • 203Rd Anniversary of the Bhima-Koregaon Battle
    203rd Anniversary of the Bhima-Koregaon Battle drishtiias.com/printpdf/203rd-anniversary-of-the-bhima-koregaon-battle Why in News The victory pillar (also known as Ranstambh or Jaystambh) in Bhima-Koregaon village (Pune district of Maharashtra) celebrated the 203rd anniversary of the Bhima- Koregaon battle of 1818 on 1st January, 2021. In 2018, incidents of violent clashes between Dalit and Maratha groups were registered during the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Bhima-Koregaon battle. Key Points 1/2 Historical Background: A battle was fought in Bhima Koregaon between the Peshwa forces and the British on 1st January, 1818. The British army, which comprised mainly of Dalit soldiers, fought the upper caste-dominated Peshwa army. The British troops defeated the Peshwa army. Peshwa Bajirao II had insulted the Mahar community and terminated them from the service of his army. This caused them to side with the English against the Peshwa’s numerically superior army. Mahar, caste-cluster, or group of many endogamous castes, living chiefly in Maharashtra state and in adjoining states. They mostly speak Marathi, the official language of Maharashtra. They are officially designated Scheduled Castes. The defeat of Peshwa army was considered to be a victory against caste-based discrimination and oppression. It was one of the last battles of the Third Anglo-Maratha War (1817-18), which ended the Peshwa domination. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s visit to the site on 1st January, 1927, revitalised the memory of the battle for the Dalit community, making it a rallying point and an assertion of pride. The Victory Pillar Memorial: It was erected by the British in Perne village in the district for the soldiers killed in the Koregaon Bhima battle.

  • Mobility and Subsistence Strategies: a Case Study of Inamgaon) a Chalcolithic Site in Western India
    Mobility and Subsistence Strategies: A Case Study of Inamgaon) A Chalcolithic Site in Western India SHEENA PANJA ARCHAEOLOGY TODAY deals with being critical of our assumptions; being re­ flexive, relational, and contextual. The conclusions are always flexible and open to change as new relations emerge. It is impossible to approach the data without prejudice and without some general theory, but the aim is to evaluate such gen­ erality in relation to the contextual data. Our own understanding about human behavior acts as a generalization with which to understand the past. Nevertheless, we can agree that the past is objectively organized in contexts that are different from our own. The internal archaeological evidence then forces us to consider whether the past subject we are dealing with is familiar to us or makes us rethink deep-seated presuppositions about the nature of human behavior. The objective component of archaeological data means that the archaeologist can be confronted with a past that is different from the present. It is this guarded objectivity of the material "other" that provides the basis of critique. It is thus a hermeneutical pro­ cedure that involves a dialectical interplay between our own understandings and the forms of life we are seeking to understand. It is an ongoing dialogue between the past and the present in which the outcome resides wholly in neither side but is a product of both (Hodder 1991; Hodder et al. 1995; Wylie 1989). It is with these ideas in mind that this article is aimed to analyze critically certain categories archaeologists use to understand human behavior in a dialectical effort to understand the past.

  • Land Movements in India Farmers Struggle Against Land Grab in PUNE DISTRICT
    Land Movements in India an online resource for land rights activists Farmers Struggle against Land Grab in PUNE DISTRICT OCT 27 Posted by jansatyagraha In Pune district, the government has approved 54 SEZs for private sector industries such as Syntel International, Serum Institute, Mahindra Realty, Bharat Forge, City Parks, InfoTech Parks, Raheja Coroporation, Videocon and Xansa India. All SEZs are located around Pune, in areas like Pune Nashik National Highway, Pune-Bangalore National Highway, Pune Hyderabad National Highway and Pune Mumbai Highway. The MIDC has identified 7,500 hectares of agricultural land for procurement in the name of SEZ creation in Pune. Opposition to SEZs has become apparent in many areas, including Karla near Lonavala, Khed- Rajgurunagar, Wagholi at Pune-Aurangabd highway and Karegaon near the Ranjangaon MIDC. It is particularly strong in the Khed taluka district of Pune, where farmers from Gulani, Wafgaon, Wakalwadi, Warude, Gadakwadi, Chaudharwadi, Chinchbaigaon, Jaulake Budruk, Jarewadi, Kanesar, Pur, Gosasi, Nimgaon, Retwadi, Jaulake Khurd, Dhore Bhamburwadi and Pabal face loss of their only source of livelihood from the creation of the Bharat Forge SEZ. These communities, primarily Maratha, OBC and adivasi, are chiefly engaged in agricultural activities. Their major crops are potato, onion, sorghum, jowar, rice, flowers and pulses. Many village youth have also initiated small-scale businesses like poultry, milk collection and pig raring. Although these villages are near the Bhima River basin and surrounded by a small watershed, the government’s lack of investment in infrastructure has left local farmers dependent on unreliable tanker water. Instead of meeting demands for sustainable irrigation schemes to improve the conditions of local farmers, the government seeks to reduce the land of local citizens in order to create an SEZ.

  • Ashta Vinayaka
    ASHTA VINAYAKA Ashtavinayaka means "eight forms of Lord Ganesha". Ganesha is the deity of unity, prosperity, learning and remover of obstacles. The Ashtavinayaka yatra or pilgrimage covers the eight ancient holy temples of Ganesha which are situated around Pune, Maharashtra. Each of these temples has its own individual legend and history, as distinct from each other as the murtis in each temple. The form of each murti of Ganesha and His trunk are distinct from one another. Ashtavinayak Temples 1 Moreshwar Temple Morgaon, Pune district 2 Siddhivinayak Temple Siddhatek, Ahmednagar district 3 Ballaleshwar Temple Pali, Raigad district 4 Varadavinayak Temple Madh, near Khopoli, Raigad district 5 Chintamani Temple Theur, Pune district 6 Girijatmaj Temple Lenyadri, Pune district 7 Vighnahar Temple Ozar, Pune district 8 Mahaganapati Temple Ranjangaon, Pune district � Proud to be a Hindu� ASHTAVINAYAKA -1 of 8 - Moreshwar Shri Moreshwar or Mayureshwar Temple is situated along the Karha River in the Morgaon village in the Baramati Taluka of Pune district in Maharashtra. This region is also known as the Bhuswananda. Moregaon Village is said to have received its name as once upon a time the shape of this place was like a peacock and there was an abundance of peacock birds in this region. Literally Moregoan means ‘Village of Peacocks’ and is a combination of two words (more which means Peacock and goan means village). As per the legend Lord Ganesha riding a peacock in the form of Mayureshwara slew the demon Sindhu in response to pleas from the Gods. This is the first Temple to be visited during the Ashtavinayaka Temple Pilgrimage.

(III yr BBA LLB) , Abhay Anturkar (III yr BBA LLB), Prashant Sivarajan (III yr BBA LLB), Abhijeet Phadkule (I yr LLM) , Atul Jaybhaye (I yr LLM). ABSTRACT: An attempt is made, in this paper to highlight the lack of legal attention in addressing governance of Commons in India. Management of gairan (=grazing land), in Pune District, is identified for case study, to amplify the point. The study is a combination of empirical and doctrinal research. Comparison with the experiences in different legal systems and evolution of international legal norms on the theme are attempted to draw lessons from and to make a case for reforms in the Law in India. Comanagement is the proposed model for governance of grazing lands and a draft legislative bill is attempted as a culmination and logical conclusion of the study.

  • Subsistence Strategies and Burial Rituals: Social Practices in the Late Deccan Chalcolithic
    Subsistence Strategies and Burial Rituals: Social Practices in the Late Deccan Chalcolithic TERESA P. RACZEK IN THE SECOND MILLENNIUM B.C., THE RESIDENTS OF THE WESTERN DECCAN region of India practiced an agropastoral lifestyle and buried their infant children in ceramic urns below their house floors. With the coming of the first millennium B.C., the inhabitants of the site of Inamgaon altered their subsistence practices to incorporate more wild meat and fewer grains into their diet. Although daily practices in the form of food procurement changed, infant burial practices remained constant from the Early Jorwe (1400 B.c.-lOOO B.C.) to the Late Jorwe (1000 B.c.-700 B.C.) period. Examining interments together with subsistence strategies firmly situates ideational practices within the fabric of daily life. This paper will explore the relationship between change and continuity in burial and subsistence practices around 1000 B.C. at the previously excavated Cha1colithic site of Inamgaon in the western Deccan (Fig. 1). By considering the act of burial as a moment of social construction that both creates and reflects larger traditions, it is possible to understand how each individual interment affects chronological variability. That burial traditions at Inamgaon were continuously recreated in the face of a changing society suggests that meaningful and significant practices were actively upheld. Burial practices at Inamgaon were both structured and fluid enough to allow room for individual and group expression. The con­ temporaneous variability that occurs in the burial record at Inamgaon may reflect the marking of various aspects of personhood. Burial traditions and the ability and desire of the living to conforITl to them vary over time and it is important to consider the specific social context in which they occur.
