6. Process of Deposition of Sediments In The Rivers of The District

Replenishment of Sand :-

The deposition in a river bed is more pronounced during rainy season although the quantum of deposition varies from stream to stream depending upon numbers of factors such as catchment, lithology, discharge, river profile and geomorphology of the river course where annual deposition is one meters, but it is noticed that during flood season whole of the pit so excavated is completely filled up and as such the excavated area is replenished with new harvest of minerals.

In order to calculate the mineral deposits in the stream beds, the mineral constituents have been categorized as clay, silt, sand, bajri and boulder. However, during present calculation, the waste material i.e silt which vary from 10 to 20% in different streams has also been included in the total production. Further the Survey of India Topo-Sheets are used as base map to know the extent of river course. The mineral reserves have been calculated only upto 1.00 meter depth although there are some portions in the river beds such as channel bars, point bars and central islands where the annual deposition is raising the level of river bed thus causing shifting of the rivers towards banks resulting in to cutting of banks and at such locations, removal of this material upto the bed level is essential to control the river flow in its central part to check the bank cutting. While calculating the mineral potentials, the mineral deposits lying in the sub- tributaries of that particular stream/river has not been taken into consideration. Since these mineral deposits are adding annually.

Surface runoff

Also known as overland flow is the flow of water that occurs when excess storm water, melt water, or other sources flows over the Earth's surface. This might occur because soil is saturated to full capacity, because rain arrives more quickly than soil can absorb it, or because impervious areas (roofs and pavement) send their runoff to surrounding soil that cannot absorb all of it. Surface runoff is a major component of the water cycle. It is the primary agent in soil erosion by water.

Runoff that occurs on the ground surface before reaching a channel is also called a nonpoint source. If a nonpoint source contains man-made contaminants, or natural forms of pollution (such as rotting leaves) the runoff is called nonpoint source pollution. A land area which produces runoff that drains to a common point is called a drainage basin. When runoff flows along the ground, it can pick up soil contaminants including petroleum, pesticides, or fertilizers that become discharge or nonpoint source pollution.

In addition to causing water erosion and pollution, surface runoff in urban areas is a primary cause of urban flooding which can result in property damage, damp and mold in basements, and street flooding.

Effects of surface runoff

Erosion and deposition

Surface runoff can cause erosion of the Earth's surface; eroded material may be deposited a considerable distance away.

There are four main types of soil erosion by water:

• splash erosion,

• sheet erosion,

• rill erosion,

• gully erosion.

Splash erosion is the result of mechanical collision of raindrops with the soil surface: soil particles which are dislodged by the impact then move with the surface runoff.

Sheet erosion is the overland transport of sediment by runoff without a well-defined channel.

Soil surface roughness causes may cause runoff to become concentrated into narrower flow paths: as these incise, the small but well-defined channels which are formed are known as rills. These channels can be as small as one centimeter wide or as large as several meters.

If runoff continue to incise and enlarge rills, they may eventually grow to become gullies.

Gully erosion can transport large amounts of eroded material in a small time period.

Reduced crop productivity usually results from erosion, and these effects are studied in the field of soil conservation. The soil particles carried in runoff vary in size from about .001 millimeter to 1.0 millimeter in diameter. Larger particles settle over short transport distances, whereas small particles can be carried over long distances suspended in the water column.

There are many sediment transport equations which are suitable for use in the prediction of the replenishment rate of rivers/ watershed. Some of the Famous sediment transport equations are: ‐

1. Dandy – Bolton Equation 2. Yang Equations 3. Engelund‐Hansen Equation

4.Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (MUSLE)

DANDY ‐ BOLTON EQUATION Dandy Bolton formula is often used to calculate the sedimentation yield. But use of these equations to predict sediment yield for a specific location would be unwise because of the wide variability caused by local factors not considered in the equations development. However, they may provide a quick, rough approximation of mean sediment yields on a regional basis for preliminary watershed planning. Computed sediment yields normally would be low for highly erosive areas and high for well stabilized drainage basins with high plant density because the equations are derived from average values. The equations express the general relationships between sediment yield, runoff, and drainage area. Many variables influence sediment yield from a drainage basin. They include climate, drainage area, soils, geology, topography, vegetation and land use. The effect of any of these variables may vary greatly from one geographic location to another, and the relative importance of controlling factors often varies within a given land resource area. Studies revealed that sediment yield per unit area generally decreases as drainage area increases. As drainage area increases, average land slopes usually decrease; and there is less probability of an intense rainstorm over the entire basin. Both phenomena tend to decrease sediment yield per unit area. In arid regions, sparse precipitation and low run‐off are the limiting factors. As precipitation increases, density of vegetation also increases, resulting in less erosion. In areas with adequate and evenly distributed precipitation, vegetation thus becomes the limiting factor. The accuracy of the sedimentation surveys varied, ranging from reconnaissance type measurements of sediment deposits to detailed surveys consisting of closely spaced cross‐sections or contours. Runoff data are translated to inches per year per unit area and sediment deposition data to tons per year per square mile of net drainage area. Net drainage area is defined as the sediment‐contributing area and normally excluded areas above upstream reservoirs or other structures that were effective sediment traps. Actual sediment yields undoubtedly were slightly higher because most reservoirs do not trap inflowing sediment. Sediment Yield vs. Drainage Area: ‐ On the average, sediment yield is inversely proportional to the 0.16 power of drainage area between 1 and 30,000 square miles. Sediment Yield vs. Runoff: ‐ Sediment yield increased sharply to about 1,860 tons per square mile per year as run‐off increased from 0 to about 2 inches. As runoff increased from 2 to about 50 inches, sediment yield decreased exponentially. Because sediment yield must approach zero as runoff approaches zero, a curve through the plotted points must begin at the origin. The abrupt change in slope of a

Buxar District, Bihar

44

curve through the data points at Q equals 2 inches

Precluded the development of a continuous function that would adequately define this relationship. Thus, there are two equations derived for when Q was less than 2 inches and when Q was greater than 2 inches.

Combined Effect of Drainage area and Surface Run off on Sediment Yield

Dandy‐ Bolton determined the combined influence of runoff and drainage area on sediment yield to compute the sediment yield. They developed two equations i.e. for run off less than 2 inch and for run off more than 2 inch, which are given below:‐ Where: S = Sediment yield (tons/sq miles/yr) Q = Mean Annual runoff (inch) A = Net drainage are in sq mile

For run off less than 2 inch. (Q<2in) S=1289*(Q) 0.46*[1.43-0.26 Log (A)] F

replenishment is around 21 % every year .The hypothetical derivation of replenishment

data is not supported by any ground evidence as the same can be derived only after

annual study due to inconsistent rains in Rajasthan. The derived replenishment data is

based on macro‐watershed data taken from satellite imagery with sample ground truth

and annual average rainfall. The data derived is based on SRTM 30m resolution

processed using ARCGIS software with linear and resolution factors affecting the

derivation.

UNIVERSAL SOIL LOSS EQUATION

Sediment loss from water erosion Modeling sediment loss

MUSLE is a modification of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE). USLE is an estimate of sheet and rill soil movement down a uniform slope using rain- fall energy as the erosive force acting on the soil (Wischmeier and Smith 1978). Depending on soil characteristics (texture, structure, organic matter, and permeability), some soils erode easily while others are inherently more resistant to the erosive action of rain- fall. MUSLE is similar to USLE except for the energy component. USLE depends strictly upon rainfall as the source of erosive energy. MUSLE uses storm-based runoff volumes and runoff peak flows to simulate erosion and sediment yield (Williams 1995). The use of runoff variables rather than rainfall erosivity as the driving force enables MUSLE to estimate sediment yields for individual storm events. The water erosion model uses an equation of the form:

Y = X EK CVF PE SL ROKF

where: Y = sediment yield in tons per hectare EK = soil erodibility factor CVF = crop management factor that captures the relative effectiveness of soil and crop

management systems in preventing soil loss PE = erosion control practice factor (including management practices such as

terraces, contour farming, and strip cropping) SL = slope length and steepness factor ROKF = coarse fragment factor For estimating MUSLE, the energy factor, X, is represented by

X = 1.586 (Q q )0.56

WSA0.12

where: Q = runoff volume in millimeters qp = peak runoff rate in millimeters per hour WSA = watershed area in hectares

Runoff volume is estimated using the SCS curve number method. Peak flow was estimated using a

modification of the rational method which relates rainfall to peak flow on a proportional basis. The rational equation is:

q = C i A

where: q = peak flow rate C = runoff coefficient representing watershed characteristics i = rainfall intensity for the watershed’s time of concentration A = watershed area

7. GENERAL PROFILE OF THE DISTRICT

7.1 River System This district is part of the Lower Ganga sub-basin of the Upper Ganga basin. The Ganga touches the

district near Chausa. The river Ganga flows towards east parallel to the district boundary. The other

rivers flowing from south to north, through the district, are the Noni and the Thora. Most of these are

ephemeral. The river Karmanasa delimits the district in the west and southwest. It debouches in the

river Ganga near Chausa. The river Karmanasa is an important for irrigation in the western part of the

district. There are many lift irrigation schemes and side channels to carry overflowing river water to the

field.

Buxar District, Bihar

7.2 Climate

The climate of the district is moderate. The hot weather begins from the middle of March when hot

westerly winds begin to blow during the day. The months of April and May are extremely hot, normally the

monsoon sets in by the third week of June and continues with intermission till the end of September. The

cold weather begins from the months of November and lasts till the beginning of March, January is the

coldest month when the temperature comes down as low as 10˚ C. From the month of April, till the break

of monsoon, the district experiences occasional thunder storms also.

The westerly wind accompanied by dust storms around middle March marks the beginning of the

summer season. During May-June the ambient temperature raises upto 450C. The winter starts towards

the middle of October and during January-February ambient temperature dips down to 40C. The average annual rainfall is 1021 mm. Nearly 85% of annual rainfall is due to Southwest monsoon (active between June to September). Rain sets sometimes in June accompanied by fall in temperature and increase in humidity. The district

experiences maximum rain during the months of July and August. There is slight rainfall in October but

November and December are quite dry.

7.3 Geomorphology

Buxar district is a part of the southern Ganga Plain. Physiography of the district is a alluvial plain having

gentle slope towards north. The plain land is marked by presence of several minor depressions. The

elevation of the land surface in the district varies between 55 m amsl and 85 m amsl. Broadly the district

can be divided into two micro physiographic units: -

1. The low-lying northern plain - extends from the Ganga. The river Ganga, has built a long natural levee

along its course. Every year this unit gets fresh deposit of silt. As a result of siltation the region is rich in

fertile soil. The low-lying areas are important for the cultivation

of wheat, Maize and gram. The entire geographical area of Simri and Chakki blocks and a part of Buxar and

Brahampur blocks fall under this category.

2. The flat region of the south – It extends southwards of the railway line, which passes through the district

in east-west direction. This geomorphic unit is densely populated, covered by network of canal of Sone Canal

System. Its western limit follows the course of river Ganga followed by Karmnasa. This unit covers major part

of the district occupying entire geographica area of Chausa, Rajpur, Kesath, Nawanagar, Itarhi, Dumraon

blocks and parts of Buxar & Barhampur blocks. The unit is considered to be suitable for wheat and paddy

cultivation.

7.4 Soil

There are mainly three types of soil found in the district-

a. Recent Alluvium Soil (Levee Soil) - It is found along the banks of the river Ganga. It is a new alluvium

calcareous soil and white to light grey in colour. It is light in texture and has medium to high fertility.

The pH varies between 6.6 and 7.5. Main crops are Maize, sugarcane, Wheat, Gram and other Rabi

crops.

b. Tal Soil (Kewal soil) - It is found in south of the levee soil. It is light to dark grey in colour and very

fertile. Its water retention capacity is high. Its texture ranges from medium to heavy and pH varies

between 7 and 8. This soil is suitable for Rabi crops, Wheat, Gram, Peas and Barley etc.

Buxar District, Bihar

51

c. Old Alluvium Soil - It is a combination of Kewal soil and clayey soil. According to textural analysis clay is

the dominant particle of this soil. It covers the central part of the district, which is free from floods. pH

value ranges from 7 to 8.5. Its colour is reddish yellow to grey. The fertility of this soil is low to medium in

upper layer, and medium to high in the lower layers. The content of Zinc is very poor in this soil and

hence, it requires Zinc Sulphate to maintain its fertility. The main crops grown in this soil are paddy,

wheat, gram and linseeds.

This soil type is developed in the central part of the district and locally known as Bhangar. It is highly

calcareous in nature.

7.5 Irrigation Irrigation Practices

There are two main harvest seasons in a year, the Rabi and Kharif. The major crops of this district are

paddy, wheat and maize. The total cropped area is 161,439 hectrare and net sown area is 138,848 hectare.

The irrigation practice in Rajpur, Itarhi, Nawanagar, Brahampur, Buxar, Kesath and Dumraon blocks is

through the five main branches of the western canal and a number of tributaries and distributaries of the

Sone Canal System. The flood prone Simri and Chakki blocks are devoid of surface water canal irrigation

facility. The gross area under irrigation is 127,928 hectares, out of which irrigation of 44,525 hectares is

being done by tube wells/bore well, 80,760 hectares by surface canal, and 2643 hectares by other sources

(Govt of Bihar).

Central Ground Water Board has covered the district under systematic hydrogeological survey and a major

part the district has been covered under ground water management study. District hydrogeological report

and ground water management study report has been issued.

The district has drawn attention of the Board as at some places geogenic contamination of ground water of

shallow aquifer with arsenic has been found. The concentration of arsenic is above permissible limit of 50

ppb (BIS 1991). Investigation of geogenic contamination arsenic in ground water is continuing as “Special

Studies”. As a part of the study exploration in the affected blocks is being carried out with the help of one

rotary rig since last one year. Till date 3 exploratory wells (tapping arsenic free aquifer disposed at deeper

level) and 9 Peizometers have been constructed in Brahampur village (Brahampur Block), Arjunpur village

(Simri block) and Churamanpur (Buxar block). The list of wells drilled is given in Table 1. There are six

Hydrograph Network Stations in the district, which monitored 4 times in a year to measure the water level

of the phreatic aquifer.

7.7 Forest

Due to deforestation, the forest area of this district is very thin. Some commom trees of this district are Mango, Seasum, Mahua, Bamboo and some types of long grasses (Jhalas) are found near diara area of the river Ganga. Jhalas grass is mostly used in roat making of kuccha houses.

The forest of the district is not rich in their products. Fire wood is the most important among its products.

The district had variety of wild animals and game birds when the forest was thick. With the increase in irrigation facilities, the area under cultivation has grown, consequently diminishing the forest. The wild animals have suffered in the process and their number has gone down very considerably. Neelgain, spotted deer, are found in the Plains and near the Ganga bank. A considerable number of monkeys are also found in the Buxar Town area.

Birds of different types like Parrot, Patridges, Quails are also found in the district.

8. Land Utilization Pattern of the District

Agriculture is the main occupation of the people of the district and also the main source of livelihood of the people. Rainfall still controls the agricultural economy of Buxar district. Conditions have, however, improved to some extent to meet the situation caused by the failure of monsoon. Rice, Wheat, Grams and pulses are grown here. In this district both the irrigated and un-irrigated areas excepting the hills and forests are being exploited for cultivation. Horticulture is also spreading. Rice, wheat, barely, grams and pulses are the main crops o the district. The winter rice forms the greater part of this crop. Gram is by far the most important among the pulses grown in the district. The other pulses grown are arhar, khesari and masur. The important among the crops of the district other than rice and wheat are oil seed and sugar cane. The straw is used as fodder and for roofing the house.

11. GEOLOGY AND THE MINERAL WEALTH OF THE AREA

Geologically the area forms a part of the SON_GANGA inter flue belt in Buxar district, lying in the

south of the river Ganga. The SON_GANGA inter flue belt in turn constitutes a part of INDO-

GANGETIC PLAIN of Bihar. The sediment contribution in this belt is from both the southern

peninsular and northern extra-peninsular high. The Ganga river system has brought sediments from

extra-peninsular mountainous areas. Where as the Son, Kao, Karamnasa and Phalgu etc flowing

through the regions of Vindhyans and Chhotanagpur gneissic terrain brought sediment materials

from peninsular high and build a vast gently undulating alluvial tract to the south of the river

Ganga. The sediments are mainly consolidated to semi-consolidated Sand, Silt and Clay of different

colors in various proportion.

The Litho- stratigraphic super-position of the area may be described as follows:-

Holocene Diara formation/ Surface,

Fatwa formation/ Surface,

Meso to new Nawada formation..

Pleistocene

Nawada formation comprises light yellow to light brown occasionally reddish brown, sticky, hard

compact and mature soil, containing Calcareous and fenugenious Concretion. The composition

varies from silty- clay to sand. The Fatwa formation comprises grey to dark grey silty clayey

sediments. The alluvial fill deposits of this formations are comparatively less compact and less

oxidized with alternate sequence of sand and silk showing primary sedimentary structures. The

Diara formation comprises white to grayish white, dominantly loose to partly semi-consolidated,

micaceous, silty sand to extremely fine grained clayey sediments. The lithology exhibits a wide

range of sedimentary structure indicating fluctuating hydrodynamic condition. Fatwa formation

provides materials for making bricks of buildings.

13. DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT

The Basis

The fundamentals of existence lie in the struggle one has fought, the instruments one has used and the lessons one has learnt to survive. In this respect, Bihar‘s struggle for existence is far more grim than most of the states. It has undergone mitosis for as many as four times and has suffered through disasters of the worst kind many a time.

The Vision :

Right from the days following the battle of Buxar in 1764 after which Bihar was passed on to

East India Company as a part of the Bengal Presidency, to 1912 when Bihar and Orissa were

separated as one State, to 1936 when both Bihar and Orissa were made independent States,

to 1956 when some key areas of Bihar was included in West Bengal, to 2000 when Bihar was

divided to form the state of Jharkhand, the State has went on losing its natural resource base

and got pushed to confine within an area prone to all sort of hazard: earthquake, flood,

cyclonic storm/Gale /Hail Storm, drought, fire, extreme cold and heat waves etc.

For such a state of hazards which Bihar is, the VISION of Disaster Management is :

“To attain a position where people are ready to help themselves, local bodies to

extend mutual help, the administration to organize public help and the government

to facilitate the helping of helpers.”

The Objectives:

In order to achieve the Mission, the objectives of the plan have been set as :

i. Treating community as the primary stakeholder and first respondent in the Disaster Management Plan, focusing on disaster risk reduction, prevention, mitigation and preparedness measures.

ii. Emphasizing preparedness at the community level and readiness at the local bodies level

iii. Facilitating the role play by the administration and government departments and other stakeholders through institutional mechanism.

iv. Creation of specialized institutions to make disaster management an inclusive exercise and to wed it to development initiatives.

v. To create a dependable early warning system to warn the people and activate other stakeholders.

vi. Ensuring quick response and providing relief with care and attention to those belonging to the marginalized section.

vii. To undertake rehabilitation with "Build Back Better" motif.

The Approach :

The process adopted for the formulation of the Plan has been

i. Holistic: Covering all the hazards the state is vulnerable to.

ii. Integrative: Covering prevention, mitigation, preparedness & response measures.

iii. Participative: Including the affected people, the Panchayati Raj Institutions,the district administration, the government departments & expert institutions.

iv. Associative: Creating space for the support and help from the corporate bodies, civil societies, NGOs, CBOs and others and solicit their participation in disaster management.

Mitigation of air pollution through particulate matters transported by the wind as a result of excavations, stockpiles, waste dumps, haul roads, mobile sources (cars, trucks, heavy equipment) etc. Also, control over noise pollution and vibration caused by several equipments used in several phases of mining include loading and unloading of minerals to dumpers, chutes, power generation, and other sources.

CONCLUSION 5 (Five) nos of sand ghats of approx area around 24 hectares each has been identified in Ganga river with

approx. mineable mineral potential of 745945.2 MT where sand mining can be done with consultation of

government authorities before opting for E.C. or any other statutory clearences. The KML images of the geo

references file is attached for ready reference.

Since it is an interim report, it is proposed to identify such potential areas at certain interval and

get the data bank of DSR to be updated
