MAJOR GROUND WATER PROBLEMS AND ISSUES Although a modest area in Hingoli district is under canal command of various irrigation projects and the area is showing decling trend of ground water levels due to exploitation of ground water for irrigation and other purposes at a faster rate. The conjunctive use of water is recommended in this area. Ground water quality is adversely affected at some places due to high concentration of some parameters specially nitrate. Adequate precautionary measures ma be taken to control the nitrate contamination. ii Ground Water Information Brochure Hingoli District Contents 1.0 Introduction .......................................................................... 1 2.0 Climate : ............................................................................... 2 3.0 Geomorphology and Soil Types .......................................... 2 4.0 Ground Water Scenario ....................................................... 3 4.1 Hydrogeology ....................................................................... 3 4.2 Water Level Scenario ........................................................... 5 5.0 Ground Water Resources .................................................... 9 6.0 Ground Water Quality ........................................................ 12 7.0 Status of Ground Water Development .............................. 14 8.0 Ground Water Management Strategy ................................ 15 9.0 Ground Water Related Issues and Problems ................... 16 10.0 M.A.P. and W.M.T.P. ............................................................ 16 11.0 Areas Notified by CGWA/SGWA ........................................ 16 12.0 Recommendations ............................................................. 16 List of Figures 1.

Ground Water Information Brochure Hingoli District 1.0 Introduction Hingoli became full-fledged district of Maharashta from 1st May 1999 bifurcating Parbhani District. Hingoli was known in history by different names like wingoli, vingmul, lingili etc. In ancient times Hingoli was one of the main villages of Narsi parganas of Washim district. In the year 1903 Nizam had formed army base at Hingoli. Now, Hingoli is the main town on Nanded-Akola highway. It is known for wholesale market and Jyotirling temple located at Aundha Nagnath. The district comprises of 5 talukas viz: Hingoli, Sengaon, Kalamnuri, Aundha Nagnath and Vasmat. The district forms the part of Marathwada region of Maharashtra and is bordered by Parbhani district in the west, Buldhana district in the north, Yavatmal and Washim districts in the east and Nanded district in the south. The district lies between 190 14’ to 200 01’ North Latitude and 760 16’ and 770 28’ East Longitude. Ground water exploration in the district has been taken up in different phases in hard rock areas occupied by Deccan Trap Basalt. A total of 10 EWs have been constructed till March 2011.

The discharge from these wells varied from 0.07 to 4.43 litres per second (lps). Static water levels ranged from 6.53 to 112.4 m bgl. 2.0 Climate The district has dry and tropical climate with hot summer and mild winter with humid SW monsoon season of moderate rainfall. The climate can be divided into three main seasons viz; a) Hot to warm humid monsoon season from June to September. b) Cool dry winter season from October to February and c) Hot dry summer season from March to June. The minimum temperature of the district is 12.70 C and the maximum temperature is 41.70 C. The rainfall record of the district shows that the average annual rainfall is 890.28 mm. During the year 2011, rainfall recorded is1244 mm. About 83% of the rainfall occurs during June to September and July is the rainiest month. The air is generally dry over the district except during the southwest monsoon when the relative humidity is high. The summer months are the driest when the relative humidity is generally between 30 percent in the afternoon. Winds are generally light to moderate with increase in speed during the later half of the hot season and in monsoon season. The winds blow predominantly from directions between west and north during the hot season. They are mostly from directions between southwest and northwest during the southwest monsoon season. 3.0 Geomorphology and Soil Types The area represents a plateau with low to moderate relief and it has few mesas and buttes structures. The general slope of the district is towards south and southeast with general elevation of 450 m amsl. The predominant Malhivra hill range of the district divides Penganga and Kayadu basin. The Black cotton or Regur type soil occurs in the district. It comprises of lime, Iron, Magnesium. The pH of soil is 8.36 and therefore It is of alkaline nature. The district is well drained by river system, which are dendritic type and have matured valleys. There are three main drainage systems viz: (1) Penganga river and (2) the Purna and (3) Kayadu rivers. The river Penganga originates from Ajanta hills in Buldhana. It enters in 2 the district from Sengaon Taluka towards north eastern corner and by making a jorney of about 80.45 Kilometres in the district moves towards Yavatmal district. Isapur Dam is constructed on the river. It is one of the most important rivers of Deccan plateau and whole district of Hingoli falls in its great basin. The direct tributary of the river is Kayadhu. This tributary rises from the hill ranges near Risod taluka of Washim district. The length of the river in the district is 80.50 kms. It is a seasonal river, which dries up in summer. The Purna river rises from Ajnata hill ranges. It enters in the district from Jalna district. After making a journey of nearly 100 kms, it moves towards Parbhani district. Yeldari and Sidheshwar dams are constructed on the river. Soils: The Soils of the district are derived from the basaltic lava flows. Thickness of the soil cover is less in northern and western parts where ground elevations are higher and consequently soil regur, gravels, murum are transported down to lower regions through gravity, transported down to lower regions through gravity, water or winds. Soils in central, southern and eastern regions of the district near the banks of Penganga and Purna rivers are thicker.
