20. AQUIFER CHARACTERSTICS
11- Granites and gneises - Generally from moderately
productive aquifer depending upon extent of weathering
fracturing and recharge
21- Quartzite and sandstone - Quartzite act as barrier for
movement of ground water unless fractured. Sandstone
forms good aquifer with high porosity and permeability
22- Shale with quartz – Aquicludes with limited
permeability. Quartzite act as barrier
31- Sand stone with conglomerate - Very good aquifer
with high porosity and permeability
32 – Sandstone with shale and coal seams - Good aquifers.
Shale/ clay / coal seams layers forms confining beds
21. Geomorphic Units And Their Influence On Ground
Water Regime
Structural Hill: Mainly act as runoff zones.
Limited prospects along fractures.
Inselberg :Mainly act as run off zones.
Plateau low dissected: Recharge depends upon its relative elevation
and lithology.
Plateau moderately dissected: Shallow aquifers partially drain
out into the deep valley formed by dissection.
Valley: Favorable zone for ground water accumulation.
Intermontane Valley: Very good recharge from surrounding
hills.Ground water depends upon underlying lithology, fracture and fill
material.
22. Linear Ridge: Acts as divides for both surface and ground water unless
cut across by faults/fractures.
Pediment :Forms runoff and recharge zone with limited prospects
along fractures.
Valley Fills: Forms moderate to good productive aquifers subject to
thickness and nature of fill material and underlying lithology.
Plateau Weathered Shallow: Forms moderate recharge zone
depending upon underlying lithology, depth of weathering and fracture.

26. CONCLUSION
Central part of the project area shows moderate
ground water potential which co relates with the
agricultural land in land use map
Ground water prospect is poor to moderate due to
shale and quartzite association.
North western part sedimentary formation of
Gondwana occurs but prospect is confined to
Intermontane valleys.
Suitable water harvesting structure may be taken up to
enhance ground water potential.
