No 2019 District Survey Report MORADABAD PREFACE On January 15th 2016, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India issued a notification and in which Para 7(iii) (a) and Annexure X purpose and structure of District Survey Report has been discussed. District Survey report (DSR) will be prepared in every district for each minor mineral. Now the Moradabad District Mineral Survey report has updated as per Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, the Government of India Notification No. SO 3611 (E) dated 25.7.2018. The District Survey Report will guide systematic and scientific utilization of natural resources, so that present and future generation may be benefitted at large. The purpose of District Survey report (DSR) “Identification of areas of aggradations or deposition where mining can be allowed; and identification of areas of erosion and proximity to infrastructural structures and installations where mining should be prohibited and calculation of annual rate of replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in that areas of rivers, stream and other sand sources. This report will be a model and guiding document which is a compendium of available mineral resources, geographical set up, environmental and ecological set up of the district and is based on data of various departments, published reports, and websites. The data may vary due to flood, heavy rains and other natural calamities. Therefore, it is recommended that the sub-divisional level Committee may take into consideration all its relevant aspects/data while scrutinizing and recommending the application for Environmental Clearance to the concerned Authority. Ordinary sand other than sand used for prescribed purposes and some other minerals has been specified as minor mineral in Sec 3(E) of The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957. The Central Government in addition to some other minor minerals have also declared the ordinary earth (used for filling or levelling purposes in construction or embankments, roads, railways and buildings) and brick earth as the minor minerals. District Survey Report (DSR) is required to identify the areas of aggradations or depositions where mining can be allowed and identification of areas of erosion and proximity to infrastructural structures and installations where mining should be prohibited and calculation of annual rate of replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in that area. The mineral potential is calculated based on field investigation and geology of the catchment area of the river or streams. Also as per the site conditions and locations, depth of minable mineral is defined. The area for removal of the mineral in a river or stream is decided depending on geo- morphology & other factors, it can be 50% to 60% of the area of a particular river or stream. Other constituents like clay and silt are excluded as waste while calculating the mineral potential of particular river or stream. The District Survey Report (DSR) shall form the basis for application for environmental clearance, preparation of reports and appraisal of projects. The Report shall be updated once every five years. 1 INTRODUCTION Moradabad is a city in Uttar Pradesh state of India.

The Ramganga flows to the south west from the Kumaun Himalaya. It is a tributary of the Ganga. It flows by the Corbett National Park near Ramnagar of Nainital district, from where it descends upon the Gangetic plain. The Ramganga Dam has been built on the Ramganga River at Kalagarh for irrigation and electricity 6 generation. Moradabad has a history of flash floods occurring due to the over-flooding of Ramganga River. REGIONAL GEOLOGY Moradabad district is in the State of Uttar Pradesh which is characterised by rock formations ranging in age from the Archean (the Bundelkhand Graniticgneisses) to the Recent (the Ganga alluvium). The Ganga plain which dominates the landscape and nearly covers three fourth of the geographical area of the State, lies between the rocky Himalayan belt in the north and the southern hilly tract comprised of mainly Pre-Cambrian rocks. Flexing of the Indian lithosphere in response to the compressive forces due to collision, and thrust fold loading produced the Ganga Plain foreland basin. It is filled with recent alluvial sediments which are at places more than 1,000 m. thick and an amalgam of sand, silt, clay in varying proportions. The southern hilly tract is roughly parallel to the Ganga-Yamuna lineament. The tract is underlain by granitic complex in Bundelkhand region and in Sonbhadra. It is overlain by rocks Mahakoshal (Bijawar) and Vindhyan Supergroup. The younger rock comprise of coal bearing Gondwana in south Sonbhadra and basaltic rocks in southern part of Lalitpur. The granitic complex is considered to be potential for the search of metallic minerals like copper, lead, zinc, molybdenum, gold, nickel, Uranium and Platinum group of elements. The overlying sediments of Mahakoshal (Bijawar) and associated Iron Formation show a potential for the search of copper, uranium, and gold in Lalitpur and andalusite, 7 sillimanite, gold, calcite, marble and clay in sonbhadra. The lower Vindhyan sediments of Sonbhadra contain deposits of cement grade limestone, flux grade dolomits, building stone and are also potential for the search of placer gold and other metals, while the Upper Vindhyan i.e. sandstones are suitable for making decorative slab/tiles or ballast. Deposits of silica sands and bauxite are available in Allahabad and chitrakoot districts while coal deposits occur in the Gondwana rocks in south-western corner of Sonbhadra.

SINHA* K.G.K. College, MORADABAD (U.P.) INDIA aSinghania University (Raj.) INDIA bCollege of Engineering, Teerthanker Mahaveer University, MORADABAD (U.P.) INDIA ABSTRACT Underground water samples at ten different water sites of public places were collected and analyzed for different water quality parameters following standard methods of sampling and estimation. The water quality index has been calculated for all the sites using the data of all parameters and WHO drinking water standards. The calculated data reveals that the underground water at Sambhal, Moradabad is severely polluted invariably at all the sites of study. The present study suggests that people exposed to this water are prone to health hazards of polluted drinking water. Key words: Water quality, Water quality index, Unit weight, Quality rating. INTRODUCTION Though water is renewable resource, improper management and reckless use of water systems are causing serious threats to the availability and quality of water1-3. It is the duty of scientists to test the available water in any locality in and around any residential area. As a part of society, it is a must. Attention on water pollution and its management has become a need of hour because of far reaching impact on human health4,5. Moradabad is a ‘B’ class city of western Uttar Pradesh.

  • The Bagpipe Treks
    1 THE BAGPIPE TREKS Small Treks in Lower hills of Kumaun and Himachal Many times I had to visit Delhi for a short visit from Mumbai. Dealing with babus and the bureaucracy in the capital city could be quite exhausting. So to relax, I would meet my friend, philosopher and guide, the famous writer, Bill Aitken . As we had lunch, watching cricket and talking mountains, he would suggest several ideas enough to fill in a year of trekking. Bill specialises and believes in ‘A Lateral Approach to the Himalaya’1 and would firmly suggest ‘more of the lesser’. I would tuck the information away in my mind and when an opportunity arose, I would go on these small treks from Delhi. Some were 10 days and some were only 4 days (return). We called them ‘The Bagpipe Treks’. Chiltha Ridge One such trip was along the well-trodden path to the Pindari glacier. We travelled from Delhi by an overnight train to Kathgodam, drove to Almora and reached Loharkhet, the starting point of this popular route. Our friends Harsingh and others from the nearby Harkot village were waiting for us with all arrangements. We crossed Dhakuri pass the next day enjoying wonderful views. Staying in rest houses, we enjoyed the forest via Khati and Dwali. The Pindari trail may be overcrowded or too popular but it is still beautiful. We retraced our steps back to Khati and climbed up a ridge to the east of village and were soon on the Chiltha Devi dhar (ridge). We spent the first night at Brijaling dhar and were rewarded with exquisite views of Pindari glacier and Nanda Kot peak.
