1.1 Location and Geographical Area An ancient state of "Mallyas" known for their bravery and love for civil liberty serves as the
frontier of Gopalganj. In Pre- historic time, Gopalganj was part of Nepal, up to the bank of the
Saryu river which bounds Siwan district on South of it. Siwan means the boundary - the Southern
boundary of Nepal Kingdom (earlier) Gopalganj, which till 1875 was only a tiny. Hamlet, was
made a subdivision of the old Saran district in the same year. The history of Gopalganj is a part of
the history of old Saran District. The composite Saran district lies on one of the main lines of the
Aryan advance. According to a tradition preserved in Vedic literature, the Videhas marched
eastwards from the Saraswati until they reached the banks of the Gandak and were informed by
Agni, the God of fire, that their home lay to the east of its broad stream. In obedience to his
directions, the Videhas crossed the river and founded a powerful kingdom on its eastern bank;
but it seems likely that some of them settled in Saran, while the majority of them crossed the
Gandak. Gopalganj is a town, municipality and headquarters of Gopalganj district in the Indian
state of Bihar. It was carved out of old Saran district (consisting of Chhapra, Siwan and Gopalganj)

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.
GOPALGANJ DISTRICT, BIHAR
55
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 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

The area 5001 Km2 is representing the catchment area of the Parwati,. Thus, about
350631.57 M tons/year sediment will be regenerated every year in the catchment
area as replenishment against the mined out quantities. The maximum annual
production is 1.656120 million TPA. The amount of sediment regenerated every
year derived hypothetically by Dandy‐Bolton’s equation will be around
350631.57 M. tons/year for the proposed lease area. Therefore, the percentage of
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

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 1.586Qq 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
Gopalganj district is situated in the northwest part of the state. It lies between N-latitude
26012’ & 26039’ and E longitude between 83054’ & 84055’. It covers parts of Survey of India
toposheet Nos. 72 A/2, B/3, O/6, B/7, B/10, B/11 & B/25. This district comes under Indo-
Gangetic plain covering plain and Gandak-Ghaghra sub-basin. There are 14 development blocks
with two sub-basins. It is bounded by Uttar Pradesh on the north and west whereas by Gandak
river in the east and by Siwan district on south.

The district is mainly drained by Gandak river that has taken the present course, which forms the eastern and north eastern boundary of the district. The Gandak river flows in a south easterly direction with an average gradient of 0.28 m/km. The river brings a lot of silt, which is deposited in the river bed resulting in oscillation of course.
Apart from this main rivers there are numerous ephemeral streams flowing in the district namely Jharbi, Dahe, Khanua, Ghoghli, Kedanjot, Sona etc. They all emerge near Gandak embankment which are locally known as Chaurs and Tal. In course of time these beds get silted and their course start shifting. During the process of shifting of course there streams leave behind abandoned channels and a number of marques locally known as Chaus. These Chaus are also responsible for water logging in the area by spreading their span with the onset of monsoon and become localize during summer. Most of the ephemeral streams have their flow direction in north south.
7.2 Climate Gopalganj has a varied climate. It is exceptionally hot and dry during summer with
temperature reaching as high as 45 degrees Celsius. Gopalganj receives about 1218 mm
rainfall during monsoons, which is followed by pleasant temperature in winter. District
receives an average rainfall of about 1218 mm and the temperature varies from 10 to 45
degree Celsius. Total physical area can roughly be put in two categories i.e. Normal Area and
Lowly Area (flood affected area). Parts of the six blocks like Gopalganj, Kuchaykot, Manjha,
Sidhwalia, Barauli and Baikunthpur are flood affected areas. These areas remain under
water in the rainy season. But so far as cultivation and agriculture is concern these areas are
GOPALGANJ DISTRICT, BIHAR

called the stock of food grains. Rest of the parts is normal area with full greenery and
cultivable land. In the area monsoon sets in somewhere in June and lasts upto September.
The average annual rainfall in Gopalganj district is about 1218 mm. Most of the rainfall
receives from South West monsoon. Data reveals that there is a large variation in the ranfall
over year to year. The behaviour of isohyte is given in Plate.
7.3 Geomorphology
Flat alluvial formations of considerable thickness is very common in the entire district. The entire flat terrain has been divided into two main categories.
a) Alluvial Low Tracts: - They are most commonly found in the immediate vicinity of river Gandak which is subjected to periodical submergence by flood water.
b) Diara Land: - They are nothing but heap and sands, brought by rivers during flood and usually found in the bed of the river Gandak. There is a gradual slope from the north western to south eastern direction. The general slope varies between 70.69 mt MSL to 57.09 mabMSL. In general the surface gradient in about 0-11 m/km in the area.

(Source: Geological Survey of India)
As per the U.S. Survey Staff (1975) the soil of the area is broadly divided into three groups
based upon the diffluent conditions of pedogeny, climate and texture.
a) Entisols – These are younger alluvial soil, fringes near the bank of Gandak and the eastern
bank of Ghaghra in the western part of the district. The entisols are generally a light, friable,
loam with higher proportion of sand and silt. The maximum percent of clay is found to be
upto 35%. They are often associated with calcareous nodules. The higher content of sand

keeps the soil, except in the river bed, fairly drained and makes it suitable for autumn and
rabi crops which do not need much water. These soils are most suitable for cultivation of
high yielding crops like sugar cane and wheat.
b) Inceptisols - There are locally known as Bangar and there calcareous alluvial soils occur
mostly in the central part of the district. This forms the typical paddy land of Bihar. The clay
and silt % ranges between 30-45%.
c) Alfisols – These soils occur in patches around eastern part of the district. These are farely
matured soils subject to continuous leaching operation, leading to formation of calcareous
nodules and ferruginous clay pans. Texturally there are well-drained reddish yellow silty
sandy and clayey loams.
7.5 Irrigation:-
IRRIGATION BY DIFFERENT SOURCES
The rapid growth of population demands for greater production in bringing more and more land
under cultivation. The socio-cultural and economic political factors play significant role over land
use in soft rural and urban area in the district. The blockwise details of land utilization reveals that

Flora of the area:-
Gopalganj falls under greenbelt areas. Roughly all types of trees and plants are found in the district namely Babbul, Neem, Shisham, Mango, Sagwan, Katahal, Sal, Shakhuwa, Peepal, Bargad etc.
Unfortunately the people of Gopalganj due to lake of awareness are cutting trees without carrying for its bad impacts. Awareness about the ecological balance must be spread amount the general people specially the children.
Fauna of the area:- Animals widely found in the district are Cows, Buffaloes, Horses, Sheep, Goats and Pigs. These animals play an important role in the life of farmers. Some small wild animals like Nil Gay, Rabbits, Sahil, Jackals, Fox and Peacock are in the area within the district. Some times Deers, Elephants and Leopards and also seen within the district.

7.8 Hydrogeology
(Source: Geological Survey of India) The district forms a part of the vast alluvial terrain of Gandak and Ghaghra sub-basins forming a part of Indo-Gangetic alluvium consisting of a thick pile of unconsolidated quaternary sediments. They are recent to sub-recent deposits underlain by erosional basement of Vindhyan formation of pre-cambrian age. The thickness of alluvium is still not yet confirmed through boreholes. These quaternary sediments consist of sequences of finer clastics like clay and silts with various grades of sand and gravel associated with Kankar. The lithological characteristics are mainly governed by the depositional environments namely distance from the provenance, agencies of deposition and the medium of transport. Marked lateral and vertical variations is texture and composition of sediments support these propositions. The Gangetic alluvial deposits can be sub-divided into two types viz. newer alluvium and older alluvium. The older alluvium of Pleistocence age in the area is rather dark in colour, occupies
GOPALGANJ DISTRICT, BIHAR
69
the higher ground and generally rich in kankar which are concretion of nodules of impure calcium carbonate ranging in size from small grains to loose lumps whereas the newer alluvium of recent age occupying the lower grounds constitute a thick sequence of clay, silt and sand with occasional kankar. Depth to water level in pre-monsoon 2011 and post-monsoon 2011 is ranges between 2.72 to 6.32 and 1.41 to 3.63 m bgl, respectively.

8. Land Utilization Pattern In The District
Agriculture is the main occupation of the people of the district. The soil of the district is highly calcareous. Among the different kinds of the soil, one can find here sandy, loamy, hard clayey and Usar soil. Paddy is the most important of the crops in the district. One - fifth of it is Bhadai rice, harvested in the autumn and the remaining four fifths is Aghani or winter rice. Other important crops grown in the district are wheat, sugar-cane and maize besides potato, pulses and oil-seeds. Sugar-cane and tobacco are the cash crops grown in the district. The soil in the district is alluvial and varies from the hard clay found in the low swamps, which is locally known as bangar to the light sandy loam of the uplands called bhath. The former grows winter rice only while from the latter an autumn rice crop is generally obtained followed by a spring crop of cereals, pulses and oil-seeds. In the district as a whole these two soils are found in fairly regular proportions. All types of food grains and crops are found in this region as Wheat, Paddy, Grams, Arahar, Maize, Sarso, Tishi, Potato, Sugar Cane etc. But Wheat, Paddy and Maize are the main crop of the district. The district is also known for production of Green Vegetables, Fish, Sugar Cane, Milk and Milk products.

9. Physiography of The District
The Bihar state can be broadly subdivided into three major units i.e main physical subdivisions are the Northern Mountains, the Gangetic Plains and the Central Highlands. Northern Mountains comprises the Himalayan ranges including their foot hills. The Gangetic plains, situated between the Himalayas and the Deccan plateau, constitute the most fertile plains of the sub-basin ideally suited for intensive cultivation. The Central highlands lying to the south of the Great plains consists of mountains, hills and plateaus intersected by valleys and river plains. They are largely covered by forests. Aravali uplands, Bundelkhand upland, Malwa plateau, Vindhyan ranges and Narmada valley lie in this region. Predominant soil types found in the sub-basin are sandy, loamy, clay and their combinations such as sandy loam, loam, silty clay loam and loamy sand soils. There are no hills in Gopalganj. Though the district presents the appearance of a
level plain, the uniformity is broken here and there by the depressions and marshes dotted
over the countryside. The district contains no forest as well. The Gandak supported by
tributaries like Jharahi, Khanwa, Daha, Dhanahi etc. give a big status of river . Land of the
district is fertile and alluvial because of this river the district is good in cultivation and
irrigation. River Gandak by depositing the top quality of soil bringing from the Nepal is
playing an important role in the economy of the district.

11. GEOLOGY AND THE MINERAL WEALTH OF THE AREA
The area forms parts of the North- Western track of Gandak Basin. Correlation among
different litho units have been established on the basis of a number of natural and
excavated sections in the area. The morpho/litho units of the area occur in the following
chronological order.
Diara formation/Surface
Vaishali formation/Surface
Hajipur formation/Surface
Miraganj formaton/Surface
The above sequence also represents the order of superposition of the litho-units. The
different morpho-statigraphic units been designated as surface. Lithologically Mirganj
formation is the oldest and consists yellowish brown clayey silty sand. This formation is
micaceous and clayey silt and sand contains are almost equal proportion upto a depth of
2.5m to 3.0m. The Mirganj formation outcrops mostly in relatively higher patches of land.
Mirganj formation provides good raw material for the manufacture of bricks due to
presence of suitable quantity of clay. Hajipur formation comprises yellowish brown to
greyish brown compact clay with dissemination of calc. kankars. The Vaishali formation
comprises dirty white to light grey silt and silty clay and lies unconformably on eroded
surfaces of Hajipur formation. Diara formation consists of light grey fine clayey silt, silty sand
and sand. Yhe Diasa formation occurs mainly between the high banks of the main rivers of
the area.
Mirganj formation and Hajipur formation provide good source for bricks industry
due to clayey sand.

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.
GOPALGANJ DISTRICT, BIHAR
79
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.

Conclusion 6 (six) sand ghats of approx area around 24 hectare, one sand ghat of 10, one six sand ghat less than
5 Ha. each in Gandak river has been identified with mineable mineral potential of around 936411.84
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 of all those ghats 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.
