Climate Change a Survey shall be carried out by the State Environment Impact Assessment
Authority (SEIAA) with assistance of irrigation department, Drainage department, Forest
department, Mining department and Revenue department in the district for preparation of
District Survey Report as per the sustainable Sand mining guidelines to ensure 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 area. Every efforts have been made to cover sand mining
locations, areas & overview of Mining activity in the district with all it's relevant features
pertaining to geology & mineral wealth in replenish-able and non-replenish-able areas of
rivers, stream and other sand sources. The mineral potential is calculated based on field
investigation & 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 geomorphology & 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.
This District Survey Report shall form the basis for application for environment clearance,
preparation of reports and appraisal of projects. The report shall be updated once every five
years.

Ordinary sand other than sand use for prescribed purposes and some other minerals have 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 leveling purposes in construction or
embankments, roads, railways and buildings) and brick earth as the minor minerals. The
Government of Punjab vide notification no. S.O.22/P.A.9/1996/S.3/2008 dated 28.03.2008
have acquired the rights of ordinary clay, ordinary sand other than sand use for prescribed
purposes, brick earth and ordinary earth (used for filling or leveling purposes in construction
or embankments, roads, railways and buildings) in addition to some other minor minerals..
1. INTRODUCTION :-
Bāgalkot district is an administrative district in the Indian state of Karnataka. The district
headquarters is located in the town of Bagalkote. The district is located in northern Karnataka
and borders Belgaum, Gadag, Koppal, Raichur and Bijapur. The new Bagalkote district was
carved out of Bijapur in 1997 via Government of Karnataka directive Notification RD 42
LRD 87 Part III.[1] The bifurcated Bagalkote district consists of eight taluks — Badami,
Bagalkote, Bilagi, RabkaviBanhatti, Hunagund, Ilkal, Jamakhandi and Mudhol.[2]

Historically, Badami which is part of Bagalkote was the capital of the Chalukyan
Empire of South India under Pulakeshin I, who conquered the district in 550 CE.
Bagalkot's Badami taluk remained the seat of the throne of the Chalukyas from 550 CE —
753 CE, when Chalukya king Kirtivarman II was overthrown by the Rashtrakutas.

Remnants of Chalukyan art and architecture are important tourist attractions in
Bagalkote. Pattadakallu has many UNESCO World Heritage temples built by Vikramaditya
II, while Aihole, which lies on the banks of the Malaprabha River, is an important temple
town with over 140 temples belonging to both the early and later Chalukya times. The cave
temples of Badami Cave Temples and the Jain temples of Rashtrakutas at Lokapura and Bilgi
are also famous.

Cottage industries occupy a predominant position in Bagalkote. The district is popular for
its silk and handloom industries.

Ghataprabha    River, Malaprabha     River and Krishna     River flow   through the    district.
Koodalasangama lies at the point of confluence of rivers Krishna and Malaprabha.

Like most districts in India, Bagalkote is headed by a Deputy Commissioner, with
various Tahalsidars heading individual taluks in the district.

The Samadhi of 12th-century social reformist Basavanna, known for his crusade
against caste exploitation, is located in Koodalasangama, a town in the taluk of Hungund.
2. PHYSICAL FEATURES & GEOGRAPHICAL AREA:
The district of Bagalkot is situated entirely on the North Karnataka Plateau, which is part of
the larger Deccan Plateau. Located in north-central Karnataka, Bagalkot is surrounded
by Belgaum District to the west, Bijapur District and Gulbarga District to the north and north-
east, Raichur District to the east and Koppal District, Gadag District and Dharwad District to
the south-east, south and south-west respectively. It is positioned at 16°12′N 75°45′E and
covers    an    area    of      6593 km².     Bagalkot      district    has     seven      taluks    —
Bagalkot, Badami, Hunagunda, Mudhol, Jamkhandi, Bilgi, and Mahalingpur.[2] The average
elevation in this area reaches approximately 610 m. The climate is warm and dry throughout
the year and rainfall is scarce. Bagalkot district receives the lowest rainfall annually in
Karnataka. The average rainfall in the region is approximately 318 mm annually.[10] The
months of September and December account for about 52% of the total annual rainfall.

Bagalkot is devoid of large canopy tree vegetation; the region is semi-arid. The Krishna
River, Ghataprabha     River and Malaprabha        River flow     through     the    region   but    are
non perennial. Soil in the area can be categorised as either the majority black or
minority red.[6] Black soil retains moisture and is often used for the cultivation
of cotton. Rabi and jowar are     primarily    cultivated    in    Bagalkot,        as   are groundnut,
cotton, maize, bajra, wheat, sugarcane and tobacco.[11] The district is also rich in mineral
wealth.   The village of Kaladgi,           located 24 km from the town of Bagalkot,
harbours copper. Iron ore also exists in the southern part of the district. Like much of
Karnataka, the gneiss is the most common rock family. Common rock types in the region
include greenstone, quartzite, sandstone and limestone. The dry climate makes the region
susceptible    to drought and    crop   failure.    Bagalkot      has   not     been      affected   by
major seismic activity due to it being located in the stable Zone II.

4.RIVER SYSTEM
Malaprabha River originates in the Sahyadri mountains at an altitude of 792.4 metres
(2,600 ft)         at      Kanakumbi           village       16 km         (9.9 mi)        west
of Jamboti village, Khanapur taluka, Belgaum District, Karnataka. At the origin of the
Malaprabha is an ancient temple dedicated to Shree Mauli Devi. The temple is in R.S. No.
127 of Kankumbi.[2] Malaprabha birthplace is a pilgrimage center with mythological origins.
A symbol in rock carved by hand near the source of the river Malaprabha depicts the origin
of the river for the purpose of safety showered for the well being of humankind. It is a source
of highly stable mineral water. Presence of discontinuities has major effects on properties of
contours at source of river. Permeability is dependent on orientation of the region.
Malaprabha flows a distance of 304 km (189 mi) from Kanakumbi-Khanapur-Soundatti
(Malaprabha Dam)-Nargund-Pattadkal-Kudalasangam before joining river Krishna at an
altitude of 488 metres (1,601 ft) at Kudala Sangama in Bagalkot district.

The Ghataprabha river is an important right-bank tributary of the Krishna River and flows
eastward for a distance of 283 kilometers before its confluence with the Krishna River at
Almatti. The river basin is 8,829 square kilometers wide and stretches
across Karnataka and Maharashtra states.

Ghataprabha River originates in the Western Ghats near Chaukul, a village in Sawantwadi
taluka of Maharashtra's Sindhudurg district. It rises about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) away from
the hill station of Amboli forming at the east-face of the same hills which give birth to
the Hiranyakeshi river, one of its important tributaries. From hereon, the river flows eastward
into the Kolhapur district of Maharashtra forming the Phatakwadi lake, an artificial water
body created by damming the river. It is the only dam built on this river within the
jurisdiction of Maharashtra and also includes an hydro-electric plant.

The Krishna river originates in the western ghats near Mahabaleshwar at an elevation of
about 1,300 metres, in the state of Maharashtra in central India. It is one of the longest rivers
in India. The Krishna river is around 1,300 km in length. The Krishna river's source is at
Mahabaleswar near the Jor village in the extreme north of Wai Taluka, Satara District,
Maharashtra in the west and empties into the Bay of Bengal at Hamasaladeevi (near Koduru)
in Andhra Pradesh, on the east coast. It flows through the state of Karnataka before
entering Telangana State. The delta of this river is one of the most fertile regions in India and
was the home to ancient Satavahana and Ikshvaku Sun Dynasty kings. Vijayawada is the
largest city on the River Krishna.
It causes heavy soil erosion during the monsoon floods. It flows fast and furious, often
reaching depths of over 75 feet (23 m). Ironically, there is a saying in Marathi: "Shant
vaahate Krishnamaai" which means "quiet flows Krishna". This term is used to describe that
a person should be as quiet as Krishna.

6. GROUND WATER SCENARIO

Hydrogeology:
The ovoid shaped Kaladgi and Badami Group of sedimentary basin is well marked lying
mainly between Krishna, Malaprabha and Ghataprabha rivers, and an area of around 8,300
sq. kms.. In the shallow aquifer ( up to 50m) ground water occurs under unconfined/water
table conditions, where as in deeper aquifer, semi-confined/confined conditions exist. The
traditional dugwells tapping the shallow aquifer are not in use and most of them have been
abandoned, however, this aquifer is being tapped by the hand pumps and shallow tube wells,
which are widely used for domestic purposes. The permeable granular zones comprising fine
to mediumgrained sand and occasionally coarse sand and gravel. Their lateral and vertical
extent is limited. The borehole data reveals that clay group of formations dominate over the
sand group in the district area. Ground water in the district occurs in the alluvium under water
table and semi confined to confined conditions.

Water level behaviour: The depth to water level ranges from 12 to 450 m during pre
monsoon period and 22 to 50 m during post monsoon period. The seasonal fluctuation varies
from 2.0 to 12.0 m in the area. The long-term water level trend indicates average fall of 0.50
m/year. The long term water level trend is also showing little rise being 0.24 m/year around
majauli, which is insignificant with respect to entire area.

Ground water flow: The elevation of the water table in the district varies from 430
m to 500 m above mean sea level. The highest elevation is in the South Easter part and the
lowest in the Noerthwestern part and reflects the topographic gradients. The hydraulic
gradient in the northern western part is steep, whereas, in the south-western part, it is gentle.
The overall flow of ground water is from northeast to south-west direction.
7. LAND USE/LAND COVER MAPPING
The purpose of land use classification is to maximize the productivity and to conserve the
land for prosperity; classification of land requires considerable time and expense. Therefore,
there must be justification for classifying of land in to different categories. Land classification
is not an end in itself but a means to obtain better land use.
Land classification means dividing the land into different categories according to a single
factor or a set of factors. Therefore, land classifications may be of many types depending
upon the factors taken for classification.

The land classification relates to climatic factors, soil characteristics, slope of the land, and
degree of erosion, water supply, drainage and similar environmental conditions. The land use
capabilities classification portrays the physical capabilities of land to produce over a long
period of time under stated conditions of use and which can provide the operations with a
basis for actual practice on scientific use of land.

1. The land use map will be utilized as a basic database, which provides the foundation of
allocating new land use practices.
2. It will incorporate demographic, economic and environmental impact, which is useful as
components of the planning programme.
3. The information of land use map indicate where intensive development has already taken
place and where there is open land suitable for future expansions, but also make it possible to
determine special areas, as prime agriculture land.
4. Rapid production of small scale map from land-sat multi spectral imageries showing the
broad distribution of land use pattern, could serve as a basis for monitoring land use change
etc., the growth of the irrigated area and possible change in forest boundaries etc..
5. The land use map will serve as a base in the integrated overall panning of agricultural and
industrial developments of the region.
8. GEOLOGY AND MINERAL OF BAGALKOT
The ovoid shaped Kaladgi and Badami Group of sedimentary basin is well marked lying
mainly between Krishna, Malaprabha and Ghataprabha rivers, and an area of around 8,300
sq. kms. It is occupies in parts of Bagalkot, Bijapur, Belgaum, Dharwad, Raichur districts of
northern Karnataka state, and some parts of eastern Maharashtra, at the Latitude 15°33’ to
16°31' N; and Longitude 74° 10' to 76° E [Fig. 4.1], as it is located almost centre part of the
basin. Hence this group of the rocks was designated as 'Kaladgi Series' by Bruce Foote in
1876. However, further attempts were made from several authors to classify Kaladgi
sediments by Pascoe, (1949, 1965); Krishnan, (1964); Nautiyal, (1966); Viswanathiah, (1977,
78-80); Chandrasekhara Gowda (1980-1981); Jayaprakash et al, (1987) and Kale, et aL,
(1996) were given light on the new classification of the Kaladgi sediments.

The Precambrian epicontinental Kaladgi Basin represents a remarkable and significant
geological unit displaying magnificent stratigraphic succession, lithologic assemblage,
tectonic, structural and depositional features among the Precambrian rocks of Peninsular
India. It covers the large area, as compared to the other Precambrian sedimentary formations
of Karnataka namely the 'Bhima Group' and geologically it has long history. The Bhima
Group assumed to be coeval with Badamis and is similar in deposition to the Badamis, which
are made up of blanket conglomerates, glauconite bearing quartzarenites, argillites and
carbonates resting unconformably on the Dharwar Group (Sathyanarayan, 1994). The
Kaladgi Group initially comprised the rock types of conglomerates, arenites, argillites and
carbonate rocks that rest comprised on the Precambrian granites, gneisses and schists
belonging to the Dharwar Supergroup. The Kaladgi Supergroup is correlatable with the
'Riphean' of the standard stratigraphic scale of Europe.
AVAILABILITY OF MINERALS:
The district is also rich in mineral wealth. The village of Kaladgi, located 24 km from the
town of Bagalkot, harbours copper. Iron ore also exists in the southern part of the district.
Like much of Karnataka, the gneiss is the most common rock family. Common rock types in
the region include greenstone, quartzite, sandstone and limestone.

Major Mineral’s available are:
Lime Stone

9. PROCESS OF DEPOSITION OF SEDIMENTS IN THE RIVERS &
BANKS
Process- Rivers have a lot of energy and because they have energy, they do stuff. The
obvious things rivers do with their energy is flow but, besides this, they also transport load,
erode load and erode the channel through which they flow. Erosion is the breaking down of
material by an agent. In the case of a river, the agent is water. The water can erode the river’s
channel and the river’s load. A river’s load is bits of eroded material, generally rocks, which
the river transports until it deposits its load. A river’s channel is eroded laterally and
vertically making the channel wider and deeper. The intensity of lateral and vertical erosion
is dictated by the stage in the river’s course, discussed in more detail here but essentially, in
the upper stage of the river’s course (close to the source of the river) there is little horizontal
erosion and lots of vertical erosion. In the middle and lower stages vertical erosion is reduced
and more horizontal erosion takes place.

There are several different ways that a river erodes its bed and banks. The first is hydraulic
action, where the force of the water removes rock particles from the bed and banks. This type
of erosion is strongest at rapids and waterfalls where the water has a high velocity. The next
type of erosion is corrosion. This is where the river’s load acts almost like sandpaper,
removing pieces of rock as the load rubs against the bed & banks. This sort of erosion is
strongest when the river is transporting large chunks of rock or after heavy rainfall when the
river’s flow is turbulent. Corrosion is a special type of erosion that only affects certain types
of rocks. Water, being ever so slightly acidic, will react with certain rocks and dissolve them.
Corrosion is highly effective if the rock type of the channel is chalk or limestone (anything
containing calcium carbonate) otherwise, it doesn’t have much of an effect.

Cavitations is an interesting method of erosion. Air bubbles trapped in the water get
compressed into 26 small spaces like cracks in the river’s banks. These bubbles eventually
implode creating a small shockwave that weakens the rocks. The shockwaves are very weak
but over time the rock will be weakened to the point at which it falls apart. The final type of
erosion is attrition.
Attrition is a way of eroding the river’s load, not the bed and banks. Attrition is where pieces
of rock in the river’s load knock together, breaking chunks of rock off of one another and
gradually rounding and shrinking the load. Transportation When a river erodes the eroded
material becomes the river’s load and the river will then transport this load through its course
until it deposits the load. There are a few different ways that a river will transport load
depending on how much energy the river has and how big the load is. The largest of particles
such as boulders are transported by traction. These particles are rolled along the bed of the
river, eroding the bed and the particles in the process, because the river doesn’t have enough
energy to move these large particles in any other way. Slightly smaller particles, such as
pebbles and gravel, are transported by salvation. This is where the load bounces along the bed
of the river because the river has enough energy to lift the particles off the bed but the
particles are too heavy to travel by suspension. Fine particles like clay and silt are transported
in suspension; they are suspended in the water. Most of a river’s load is transported by
suspension. Solution is a special method of transportation. This is where particles are
dissolved into the water so only rocks that are soluble, such as limestone or chalk, can be
transported in solution. Capacity & Competence Rivers can only carry so many loads
depending on their energy. The maximum volume of load that a river can carry at a specific
point in its course is called the river’s capacity. The biggest sized particle that a river could
carry at a specific point is called the river’s competence. Deposition To transport load a river
needs to have energy so when a river loses energy it is forced to deposit its load. There’s
several reasons why a river could lose energy. If the river’s discharge is reduced then the
river will lose energy because it isn’t flowing as quickly anymore. This could happen because
of a lack of precipitation or an increase in evaporation. Increased human use (abstraction) of a
river could also reduce its discharge forcing it deposit its load. If the gradient of the river’s
course flattens out, the river will deposit its load because it will be travelling a lot slower.
When a river meets the sea a river will deposit its load because the gradient is generally
reduced at sea level and the sea will absorb a lot of energy. As rivers get nearer to their
mouths they flow in increasingly wide, gentle sided valleys. The channel increases in size to
hold the extra water which the river has to receive from its tributaries. As the river gets bigger
it can carry larger amounts of material. This material will be small in size, as larger rocks will
have broken up on their way from the mountains. Much of the material will be carried in
suspension and will erode the river banks by abrasion.

When rivers flow over flatter land, they develop large bends called meanders. As a river goes
around a bend most of the water is pushed towards the outside causing increased erosion. The
river is now eroding sideways into its banks rather than downwards into its bed, a process
called lateral erosion. On the inside of the bend, in 27 contrast, there is much less water. The
river will therefore be shallow and slow-flowing. It cannot carry as much material and so
sand and shingle will be deposited. This is called a point bar or slip off slope Due to erosion
on the outside of a bend and deposition on the inside, the shape of a meander will change
over a period of time. Notice how erosion narrows the neck of the land within the meander.
In time, and usually during a flood, the river will cut right through the neck. The river will
then take the new, shorter route. The fastest current, called the thalweg, will now tend to be in
the centre of the river, and so deposition is likely to occur in gentler water next to the banks.
Eventually deposition will block off the old meander to leave an oxbow lake. The oxbow lake
will slowly dry up , only refilling after heavy rain or during a flood. Streams lose velocity and
make deposits when their gradient decreases, when the volume of water decreases, when
there is an increase in cross section, when they encounter obstructions, or when they enter
still water. They deposit alluvial fans, alluvial cones, piedmont alluvial plains, channel fill,
bars, flood plains and deltas.
Pink Granite Quarries:
Igneous rocks are formed when melted rock cools and solidifies. Melted rock may come in
the form of magma, when it is found underneath the Earth's surface. It can also come in the
form of lava, when it is released unto the Earth's surface during a volcanic eruption. Granite
forms from the slow crystallization of magma below Earth's surface. Granite is composed
mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles, and other minerals.
This mineral composition usually gives granite a red, pink, gray, or white color with dark
mineral grains visible throughout the rock.

Ilkal is a medium-sized town in Bagalkot district in the Indian state of Karnataka. Ilkal is also
famous for its red granite stone, which is exported all over the world. . The quarries and
mines nearby are excavated for the raw stone, processed and polished and marketed. The
granite blocks area also directly exported to various countries.

Building stone / Sand Stone:
Igneous rocks are formed when melted rock cools and solidifies. Melted rock may come in
the form of magma, when it is found underneath the Earth's surface. It can also come in the
form of lava, when it is released unto the Earth's surface during a volcanic eruption.
A building stone is defined as any massive, dense rock suitable for use in construction.
Whether igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, a building stone is chosen for its properties of
durability, attractiveness, and economy. Basalt and Trap. The structure is medium to fine

MINERAL POTENTIAL FOR NON- REPLENISHABLE AREA :

Quantity for non- replenishable area could not be ascertained due to nonwillingness of land
owners for excavation of minor minerals from their own lands . However, it is recommended
that on receipt of request of land owner , a Sub Divisional Level Committee may visit the site
quarry to ascertain the viability of mineral potential i.e. Area and mineral quantity for
recommending the case to the concerned Authority for approval.

10. ECONOMIC IMPACT OF MINING:

    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 concessioner will have to pay the Royalty,
Price, Environment Management Fund and TCS which will enhance the revenue of the
Central and State Government.
