The Ballari District Survey Report

Preamble:- This District Survey report for sand mining or river bed mining and
mining of other minor minerals is prepared as per Paragraph 7 (iii) (a) of
Ministry Of Environment, Forest And Climate Change Notification, New Delhi,
the 15th January 2016.

   1. INTRODUCTION:-

      Ballari district takes its name from the word Ballari which refers to
goddess Durugamma as this goddess had manifested herself in the town. Some
of the events in the great epic Ramayana are related to this historical place. It is
said that Rama while searching for Sita met Sugreeva and Hanuman at a place
which is very near to Hampi, the celebrated capital of Vijayanagara kingdom.
The history speaks volumes about significant role it acquired during
Satavahanas, Kadambas, Chalukyas of Kalyana, Kalachuryas, Sevunas and
Hoysalas period. There upon the Vijayanagara rulers built the " City of
Victory " on the bank of Tungabhadra river at Hampi in Hospet Taluk. This
area which had witnessed the prosperity to its peak fell into political turmoil
after the fall of Vijayanagara in 1565. This district was transferred to the
erstwhile Mysore State on 1st October 1953 from Madras State. With the re-
organisation of the districts during 1997, the number of taluks is reduced to 7.
The Harapanahalli taluk has been transferred to Davanagere district.

      Mineral and ores are exhaustible resources. Their conservation through
rational mine planning, prudent exploitation and judicious utilization is
therefore, obligatory on the part of the individuals responsibility for as well as
of institutions charged with, the exploitation of minerals / ores from the mother
earth. Mineral resources get progressively exhausted as they are mined and
removed greatest care is, therefore, required in planning for a wise utilization of
mineral resources which are non-renewable.

                                            1
A) OBJECTIVE:

      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.

06. Process of Deposition of sediments in the rivers of the District.

       Sand deposition in the district is by fluvial process. i.e. weathering,
scouring, sediment transportation by water course and settlement of Bed load at
places where the current velocity suddenly drops.
       Sediment refers to the conglomerate of materials, organic and inorganic,
that can be carried away by water, wind or ice. While the term is often used to
indicate soil-based, mineral matter (e.g. clay, silt and sand), decomposing
organic substances and inorganic biogenic material are also considered
sediment. Most mineral sediment comes from erosion and weathering, while
organic sediment is typically detritus and decomposing material such as algae.
These particulates are typically small, with clay defined as particles less than
0.00195 mm in diameter, and coarse sand reaching up only to 1.5 mm in
diameter. However, during a flood or other high flow event, even large rocks
can be classified as sediment as they are carried downstream. Sediment is a
naturally occurring element in many bodies of water, though it can be

                                                 32
influenced by anthropogenic factors. Sediment transport is the movement of
organic and inorganic particles by water. In general, greater the flow, more the
sediment that will be conveyed. Water flow can be strong enough to suspend
particles in the water column as they move downstream, or simply push them
along the bottom of a waterway. Transported sediment may include mineral
matter, chemicals and pollutants, and organic material. Another name for
sediment transport is sediment load. The total load includes all particles moving
as bedload, suspended load, and wash load. Sediment transport is not constant.
In fact, it is constantly subject to change. In addition to the changes in sediment
load due to geology, geomorphology and organic elements, sediment transport
can be altered by other external factors. The alteration to sediment transport can
come from changes in water flow, water level, weather events and human
influence.
      Bed load is the portion of sediment transport that rolls, slides or bounces
along the bottom of a waterway. This sediment is not truly suspended, as it
sustains intermittent contact with the streambed, and the movement is neither
uniform nor continuous. Bed load occurs when the force of the water flow is
strong enough to overcome the weight and cohesion of the sediment. While the
particles are pushed along, they typically do not move as fast as the water
around them, as the flow rate is not great enough to fully suspend them. Bed
load transport can occur during low flows (smaller particles) or at high flows
(for larger particles). Approximately 5-20% of total sediment transport is bed
load. In situations where the flow rate is strong enough, some of the smaller bed
load particles can be pushed up into the water column and become suspended.

      Sand is a residual material of preexisting rocks. It is therefore composed
of minerals that were already there in the rocks before the disintegration
commenced. However, there is one important aspect - sand occurs in a harsh
environment where only the strongest survive.

                                           33
Quartz is one of these minerals but not the only one. It is so dominant in
most sand samples because it is so abundant. 12% of the crust is composed of it.
Only feldspars are more abundant than quartz.
      Relatively rare minerals like tourmaline, zircon, rutile, etc. are also very
resistant to weathering, but they rarely make up more than few percents of the
composition of sand.

      Sand forms mostly by the chemical and/or physical breakdown of rocks.
This process is collectively known as weathering. Physical and chemical
weathering are usually treated separately, but in reality they usually go hand in
hand and it is often difficult to separate one from another because they tend to
support each other.

      Chemical weathering is much more important sand-producing factor
overall. It operates most efficiently in humid and hot climate. Physical
weathering dominates in cold and/or dry areas. Weathering of bedrock which
produces sand usually takes place in soil. Soil covers bedrock as a thin layer,
providing moisture for the disintegration process of rocks.

      Granite is a common rock type and serves as a great example of sand
forming processes. Granite is composed of feldspar (pink and white) which
decomposes chemically into clay minerals. Another important constituent of
granite is quartz (gray). Quartz is very resistant to chemical weathering. It does
not alter to any other mineral - quartz is quartz and will remain that way. It
eventually goes into solutions but very slowly. Hence, disintegrated granite
yields lots of quartz grains which will be transported mostly by running water as
sand grains.

      Sand is transported by rivers, but average sand grains are too large and
heavy for Average River to carry them in suspension. Hence, sand grains tend to
move in jumps. They are lifted up by more energetic current and settle out when
current velocity decreases and then wait for the next jump. This mode of

                                           34
movement is known as saltation. Average silt grain moves differently. It is
light-weight enough to be carried in suspension for a long time and this is
actually one of the most important reasons why we treat silt separately from
sand.

        Most sand grains carried by the rivers are eventually deposited at the river
mouths where the current velocity suddenly drops.

        Sediment builds up on human-made breakwaters because they reduce the
speed of water flow, so the stream cannot carry as much sediment load.
Sediment is transported based on the strength of the flow that carries it and its
own size, volume, density, and shape. Stronger flows will increase the lift and
drag on the particle, causing it to rise, while larger or denser particles will be
more likely to fall through the flow. Rivers and streams carry sediment in their
flows. This sediment can be in a variety of locations within the flow, depending
on the balance between the upwards velocity on the particle (drag and lift
forces), and the settling velocity of the particle.

09. Climate, Temperature & Rainfall:-

      The climate of Bellary district is quite moderate shows dryness in major
part of the year and a hot summer from March to May months where mean
maximum temperatures ranges from 23.2°C to 40.4°C. June to September is the
southwest monsoon period where the temperature 19.7°C to 35.1°C, October
and November is the post monsoon retreating monsoon season with clear bright
weather with the mean daily temperature ranges from 14.4°C to 31.1°C. During
December to February weather remains dry and comparatively cool season. The
skies clouded or overcast during southwest monsoon. During October and
November some of the depressions and cyclonic storms originates in Bay of
Bengal moving in a westerly to north westerly direction which passes through

                                         42
the district causing wide spread heavy rains and high winds. The mean
maximum temperature in the district is 40.4°C and the mean minimum
temperature is 14.3°C (January month). Relative humidity ranges from 48 to
74% in the morning and in the evening it ranges from 27% to 61%. The winds
are light to moderate with some strengthening in the south west monsoon.
During October to April, the winds blow from directions between north east and
south 6 east and are calm in morning. Winds blow southwest and northwest
direction during May to September with an average velocity of 12 kmph. These
high winds combined with higher temperature result in high degree of
evaporation to the tune of 12.5 mm/day in May against a minimum of 5.4
mm/day in the month of December. Bellary district receives rainfall from
southwest monsoon from June to September and northeast monsoon from
October to December. Overall on an average, there are 43 normal rainy days
(1901-1970), where minimum in Bellary taluk with 32.4 rainy days, maximum
in Sandur taluk with 56.4 rainy days. Actual rainy days recorded during the year
2005 ranged from 41 to 67 wherein Kudligi taluk is the minimum with 41 rainy
days and maximum is in Sandur taluk again with 67 rainy days. As per the 1951
to 1970 rainfall data analysis, the precipitation during southwest monsoon
accounts for 60% of the total amount of rainfall and during northeast monsoon it
is 24% the remaining 11.62% is sporadic in summer. September is the wettest
month in the year.

      The district has a meteorological observatory at Bellary. The period from
the later half of November is the coolest part of the year. The temperature
begins to rise by the end of the February and by April it is hottest.

      As per rainfall data from 2005 to 2012, the district has received an
average rainfall of 578.4mm. Details as follows:

10. Physiography Geomorphology and Soil Types:-

      The district may be classified as Northern Maidan region with
monotonous, treeless, and expansive plateau landscape. The step like landscape,
hills and ridges are the general features of the northern maidan region. The
central part of the Bellary district is occupied by hills and plains to east and
west. The Sandur hills run North West of the district dividing the district in to
two distinct parts. The eastern part consists of Hospet, Bellary and Siruguppa
taluks. The western part consists of Hadagalli, Hagaribommanahalli, Kudligi
and Sandur taluks. The Tungabhadra River forms the eastern and northern
boundary of the district. The average elevation of the district is 493.71m amsl.
The Sandur hills are the main physical features with valley and its lush green
forest growth. It extends from Mallapuram on the bank of river Tungabhadra
and runs for 48 kms in the south easterly direction up to Bellary. The highest
elevation in the ridge is the famous Kumaraswamy hills which is 1084m amsl.
Ramanmalai (993.1m amsl) and jambunatha hill (908 m amsl) are the major
ridges in the district. The other ridges in the district are Ramagod (1058 m amsl)
and Donimalai (1027m amsl). Some of the isolated peaks in the district are

                                           44
Kallahalli gudda (836m amsl), Narasimhadevaragudda (775 m amsl), Gudekote
(836m amsl) and Bellary hills (602m amsl). The sandur hills, the
mallappanagudi and kallahalli gudda ranges are of dharwar schists while the rest
of the hills and clusters are of older granitic formation. The soils of the district
are derived from Granites, Gneisses and Schistose rocks. The Sandy loam soil
mixed with black and grey soil occurs along the stream beds. These are
originated from gneisses and granites. They are permeable and mildly alkaline
in nature. The thickness of the soil varies from 0.2 to 1.00m. The Red soil are
the major type of soil in the district, found mainly at elevated places especially
at fringes of hills due to decomposition of rocks and surrounding granitic and
gneissic 7 hills. These soils are with high permeability and neutral PH. Black
soil with high initial infiltration rate when dry and cracked. On getting wet
cracks will close and infiltration rate will be very low. These are derived from
schistose rocks. The Black soil is found in the prolonged submerged areas and
canal command areas having low Permeability. It is calcareous and mildly
alkaline in nature.

11. Geology & Mineral Wealth:-

       Geology of the area is dated back to pre-Cambrian age. The rocks
occurring in the district can be broadly divided into two types namely a)
Schistose rocks of Dharwarian age b) Gneissess and granite belonging to PGC
& Closepet granite. The schistose rock occur as long and linear bands which
comprise of both sedimentary and volcanic suites subjected to low grade
regional metaphorphism and different phases of deformation. There are a few
major schist belts within the district, which trend in a general NorthWest-
SouthEast direction. They are named as i) SandurSchist Belt, ii) Pennar Hagari
Schist Belt, and iii) Southern part of Gadag Belt. While the western part of the
district exposes a fragment of metabasalt-gewacke sequence of Dharwar
Supergroup (Gadag Belt). The major portion of the sandur belt renowned for its
rich iron and manganese deposits occupy the central part of the district and
Hagari segment of Hungund-Kushtagi-Hagari belt is seen in the eastern part. In
all these belts, volcanic are represented by repetitive sequence of meta / basalt,
