1.0 INTRODUCTION

Bricks are produced in India in small or cottage scale brick kilns and Clamps, operates seasonally. The raw materials in the brick kilns include soil, coal, paddy husk, fly ash, wood & locally available agro wastes to some extent. There are large variations in quality of soils available in different parts of the country and also in brick manufacturing process. Brick are good building material for construction activities.

It is one of the primary building materials known to mankind. Over time, bricks have appeared, gained prominence, lost importance and then come to the forefront again with various styles of architecture. Burnt bricks were used in ancient Indian, Babylon, Egypt and Roman civilizations. With the increase of urbanization the demand for Bricks is growing in infrastructure sector in our country. Individual and private companies are increasingly demanding Brick for construction purposes and this has immense pressure on brick clay resources.

3.1 TOPOGRAPHY & PHYSIOGRAPHY

Siddharth Nagar district is one of the 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh state in Northern India. Naugarh town is the district headquarters. Siddharth Nagar district is a part of Basti division. Siddharthnagar district lies between 27°N to 27°28'N and 82°45'E to 83°10'E. It is part of Purvanchal. The district borders Nepal's Kapilvastu district on the north and Rupandehi district on the northeast. Otherwise it is surrounded by other districts of Uttar Pradesh: Maharajganj on the east, Basti and Sant Kabir Nagar on the south, and Balrampur on the west. Siddarth Nagar's area is 2,752 km2 (Source: http://siddharthnagar.nic.in).

The district is a part of indo- Gangetic plain of northeast India. It is a level with gradual slope from north to south. The middle part is deep in the east area REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The Ganga basin has been dominated by transvers river system since Pliocene age due to erosion during uplift that is symmetric subsidence of foreland. Large plio-Pleistocene sediment combines with less asymmetric subsidence and uplift of the proximal fore land let to the
