21 4.3 Existing infrastructure Presently there is an existing infrastructure around the site. Infrastructure like water, electricity, telephone facility, roads already available. Other infrastructure like, hospital, school, housing, entertainment, daily needs are available easily at Nagothane town (which is at distance of about 1.30 km) Nagothane MIDC provides many basic facilities like uninterrupted water supply, power and road network. The site appeared to be environmentally best as also from the business angle and therefore this option was finally adopted. This site is inside the campus of the MIDC and means safe transportation, less need of utilities, less constructing buildings and roads, less fuel, less water with optimization of infrastructure. There is no sensitive establishment in the vicinity such as health resort, hospital, and archaeological monuments. 4.5 Existing infrastructure The entire district is covered by basaltic lava flows known as Deccan Traps. These Deccan Traps are capped by latterites. The Recent, Sub-Recent and Pleistocene latterites are observed within the study area. Geologically Konkan lowland is a platform of marine denuation raised to form a narrow plain. The steep scarps facing the coast and some what gentle slopes towards the east believed to be due to extensive faulting of the ghat region. the geology of entire study area is consist of dark basalt and latterite. These are spread out in the form of horizontal sheets and beds and have innumerable spurs, hills, ridges, peaks and plateau. The district is drained by short westwards flowing parallel streams, which originate in the Sahyadri Mountains in the east and flow into the Arabian Sea. Ulhas, Patalganga, Amba, Kundlika, Savitri, Kal, Gandhari and Ghod are the major rivers in the district. The district has experienced hot and humid climate. 4.6 Geo -hydrological status of study area The peculiarities of the drainage system of the district are that all rivers are Westerly flowing. A small river (Kasardi River), which is non-perennial in nature, flow along the Taloja Industrial Area and finally drains into the Arabian Sea. It is neither used for drinking purpose nor as irrigation source. The Kundalika river is passing through close to Roha MIDC the Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd. Page 21

22 location of proposed site is 970mtr. away from the river. The water is used for irrigation purpose by local villagers Hydrogeology : Deccan Trap Basalt of upper Cretaceous to lower Eocene is the major rock formation and intruded by a number of dykes. The western part of the district consisting Basalt flows are altered to Laterite. Recent deposits comprising Beach Sand and Alluvium occur along the coast and in the river mouth, however they do not form potential aquifer Deccan Trap Basalt Ground water in Deccan Trap Basalt occurs mostly in the upper weathered and fractured parts down to m bgl under unconfined condition. The water bearing strata at deeper depth exists under semi confined to confined conditions. The dugwells in these areas show rapid decline in water level during postmonsoon period and practically go dry in peak summer. In foot hill zones the water table is relatively shallower near water course. The yield of dugwells tapping upper phreatic aquifer ranges between 45 to 60 m3 /day, whereas that of borewells varies form 0.50 to > 20 m3 /hr. depending upon the local hydrogeological conditions, however in most of the borewells it is up to 5 m3 /hr Beach Sand/Alluvium : The Alluvial deposits are found along the coastal areas in few isolated patches having limited areal extent as Beach Sand and along the course of major rivers. In the alluvial deposits, primary porosity is due to the inter-granular pore spaces making sands and gravels good water bearing formations. The ground water occurs under phreatic/unconfined aquifer at relatively shallow depths of 3-5 m and their yield ranges from about 18 to 43 m3 /hr. 4.7 Water Level Scenario: Central Ground Water Board periodically monitors 28 National Hydrograph Network Stations (NHNS) in Raigarh district, four times a year i.e. January, May, August and November. Depth to Water Level Premonsoon (May 2007) : The depth to water levels in the district during May 2007 ranges between 0.55 m bgl (Nagothane) and 8.60 m bgl (Chinch wad). Depth to water levels during premonsoon (May 2007) is Shallow water levels i.e., less than 2 m bgl are seen in the central part of the district. The water levels 5 to 10 m bgl are seen in the southern part of the district i.e. around Poladpur and Mahad and also as scattered patches across the district. In the major part of the district water level ranges from 2 to 5 m bgl. Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd. Page 22
