5 THE DROUGHT OF 2002 STATE LEVEL EFFORTS CHAPTER I: OVERVIEW The State of Maharashtra which covers a major portion of the western side of peninsular India, is the second largest state of the Indian Union occupying nearly one-tenth of the nation's territory and having one-eleventh of its population. Flanked by the Arabian Sea on the west, it has a common boundary with Gujarat on the northwest, Madhya Pradesh in the north and the east, Andhra Pradesh in the southeast, Karnataka in the south and Goa in the southwest. Its orientation to the Arabian Sea differentiates it from the neighboring States, while its central position in the Deccan peninsula gives it a more intimate touch with the heart of the peninsula than the adjoining western littoral States. The State has a total geographical area of lakh ha. Administratively, the State is divided into six Revenue Divisions, thirty-five Districts, 356 Talukas, and 336 towns/cities and 43,025 villages out of which 40,412 are inhabited. The people as a whole belong to a hardy group, which has persevered in agriculture and made a moderate success of it in spite of the fact that neither the environment nor the natural features and topography of the State have been charitable. Though the State is predominantly agricultural, today it is one of the most highly industrialised States of the Indian Union.

6 Geographically, the State has a distinct individuality stamped on it by the underlying Deccan Trap whose surface coverage is almost coincident with the boundaries of Maharashtra. The Deccan Trap is formed by the extensive lava outpourings that came out from large fissure eruptions some 70 million years ago. As the first layer got cooled and frozen and its surface pounded into earth by torrential rains, another wave of lava would sweep over to form a fresh layer. Thus, layer upon layer was deposited which now forms the solid land mass we have today in the region between the Narmada valley in the north and the Krishna basin in the south and from the western sea to as far east as Nagpur. Physiographically, the State may be divided into four main regions. : (i) the Konkan coastal strip ; (ii) the Deccan plateau ; (iii) the Tapi trough; and (iv) a very small area of the Narmada trough. The Konkan coastal strip is the portion between the Sahyadris on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west. It is a narrow strip with a maximum width of about 40

7 km. Besides Greater Mumbai, it includes the districts of Thane, Raigad, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg. Interspersed with hills, the land in this region is very undulating and far from fertile. Only the flat patches which lie crouched in small valleys or perched on hilltops are suitable for paddy cultivation. Numerous rivulets and streams running from east to west, which are in flood while the rains last and dry out soon thereafter, cut up the entire area. The Deccan plateau lies to the east of the Sahyadris. It is intercepted by rivers, which rise in the Sahyadris and flow eastward. In the north are the Satpuda ranges, which run almost in a straight line from east to west, whereas the Sahyadris run north to south. The Deccan plateau consists mainly of the Krishna and the Godavari basins, the Krishna basin including the Bhima sub-basin. The Tapi trough lies in between the Satpuda range in the north and the Satmala range in the south; the valley of the Tapi is a transition between Central India and the Deccan. The Tapi valley mainly comprises of the western parts of Vidarbha and the districts of Jalgaon, Dhule and Nandurbar. The valley is generally flat with large stretches of deep soil. To the north of the Tapi basin towards the west, there is a small part of the Narmada basin, which is mainly hilly. The prevalent climate is the tropical monsoon type, though the plateaus and the hilly areas of the State have lower temperatures and less humidity than the coastal strip. So far as the rainfall is concerned, both the southwest and the northeast monsoons bring rain to Maharashtra. About 98 per cent of the rainfall in Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts and about 85 per cent in Solapur district are brought by the southwest

8 monsoon whereas the remaining districts get rain from the southwest monsoon in amounts ranging between these two figures. The balance of the rainfall comes from the northeast monsoon. The average rainfall of the State is about 1,070 mm. though there are very wide variations in precipitation. The heaviest precipitation during the southwest monsoon is on the Sahyadri rim of the plateau and in the Maval area to the east up to a distance of km. At the rim, the rainfall is very heavy and exceeds 6,500 mm. at places like Mahabaleshwar. It decreases rapidly westwards towards the coast where it is about 3,200 mm. in the south and about 2,000 mm. in the north. East of the Sahyadris the decrease in rainfall is very marked and in areas 15 km. from the range, the precipitation drops to about 1,200 mm. A peculiar feature of the rainfall pattern is its incidence in a strip of about 30 to 50 km. wide, east of Maval and running parallel to the Sahyadri range. In this strip the average rainfall is less than 650 mm. and at some places it is even below 500 mm. Further east, it gradually increases till it averages 1,250 mm. in the most eastern districts. Though the winter rains account for 5-6 per cent of the annual precipitation in the low rainfall belt, they are generally of little value. On the basis of rainfall data collected during the past six decades it is found that the regions of high degree of reliability of rainfall are in south Konkan and in the Ghats. Surrounding this region and comprising parts of Thane, Raigad, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, Pune, Satara, Sangli and Kolhapur districts, is the region of slightly high degree of reliability. The other regions of this kind consist of almost entirely the districts of

9 eastern Vidarbha. Dhule, Nandurbar, Ahmednagar and Beed districts and parts of Nashik, Solapur, Aurangabad, Parbhani, Latur and Osmanabad districts constitute a centrally situated region with a low degree of reliability, surrounded by a region of moderate degree of reliability of rainfall. Thus, a large part of the State suffers from crop failures or periodical drought because of the failure or erratic nature of the monsoon. Variations in the dates of the onset and cessation of the rainy season, in the number of rainy days and in the frequency and duration of the dry spells govern the character of the rainy season. In these circumstances, therefore, farming practices and cropping patterns have necessarily to be adjusted to the variation in the rainy season and since this is not always possible. Undue variations in the pattern of rainfall bring hardship, the intensity of which depends on the degree of deviation of the rainfall from the normal pattern. About 73% of the State's geographical area comes under hot semiarid ecoregion, which renders the state vulnerable in so far as water availability is concerned. That the State's population has grown up, since 1960, by 2.25 times, has only added to the problems pertaining to natural resource management in the State. There is an area of about 5.3 million ha. under various categories of non-forest wastelands in the State. Of the recorded forest area, in the State, of 6.39 million ha, only 2.36 million ha. area supports dense forest cover (FSI 1997), leaving over 4.0 million ha. of degraded forests to be added to the extent of wastelands in the State. The total extent of wastelands in the State may, thus, be in excess of 9.3 million ha.

10 The State can be divided into nine agro-climatic zones on the basis of climate and soil and also on the basis of the cropping pattern, which, in turn, is determined, by a combination of the first two factors: (1) High rainfall zone with lateritic soils: - This zone comprises of the southern Konkan coast including Ratnagiri district, the southern parts of Raigad district and the extreme western parts of Kolhapur and Satara districts. The annual precipitation in this area ranges between 2,000 and 3,000 mm. The dominant soil is lateritic formed from basalt. The main crop in the low-lying areas is paddy and in the up-lands it is millets. Horticulture is an important occupation in this zone. (2) High rainfall zone with non-lateritic soils: - This zone comprises the districts of Thane, the northern parts of Raigad district and the extreme western parts of Nashik, Ahmednagar and Pune districts. The dominant soil in this area is red to reddish brown loam of non-lateritic origin. The main crops are paddy, inferior millets and pulses. (3) Ghat zone: - This comprises of the western parts of Kolhapur, Sangli, Satara, Pune and Ahmednagar and Nashik districts. The average rainfall is between 2,000 and 4,000 mm. The soils are of two types: shallow, light brown to dark brown gravelly loam on the hill slopes and red to reddish brown lateritic soils on the high level western parts of the zone. The main crop in this region is hill millet. (4) Transition zone (I): - This comprises of the eastern slopes of the Western Ghats, which fall in the districts of Satara, Pune, Ahmednagar, Nashik and Dhule. In this zone the annual precipitation is between 1,250 and 2,500 mm. The soils here are red and black of parent basalt rock. In the highland, paddy is the most important crop and in the lower region Bajra, Jowar and groundnut are grown. (5) Transition zone (II): - This includes the mid-western portions of Dhule, Nandurbar, Nashik, Ahmednagar, Pune, Satara and Sangli

11 districts and the north-eastern portion of Kolhapur district. The annual precipitation in this area varies from 700 to 1,250 mm. Dark brown soils underlain by the Deccan Trap are common here. Bajra, Jowar and groundnut are the prominent crops. (6) Scarcity zone: - This zone consists of the eastern portions of Dhule, Nashik, Sangli, Pune, Satara and Ahmednagar districts, the greater part of Solapur district and the western portion of Ahmednagar, Beed, Osmanabad and Jalgaon districts. Black-brown calcerean soils of varying depths and textures are found in this zone. The dominant crop of this area is millet. (7) Assured rainfall zone: - This includes parts of the districts of Jalgaon, Aurangabad, Beed, Osmanabad and the entire districts of Akola, Amravati, Nanded and Parbhani. The precipitation in this area is between 700 to 900 mm. The soils are dark brown to black calcerean clay loams of varying depths. Jowar, pulses, cotton and groundnut are the dominant crops. (8) Moderate rainfall zone: - This comprises of the districts of Wardha and Yeotmal, the western parts of Nagpur district and a part of Amravati district. The rainfall in this area varies between 900 to 1,250 mm. The soils are brownish black of varying depths and textures. (9) Eastern high rainfall zone: - Chandrapur and Bhandara districts and the eastern parts of Nagpur district lie within this zone. It has assured rainfall, generally above 1,250 mm and even beyond 1,700 mm as one goes to the east. The main Kharif crop is paddy, whereas wheat and linseed are the dominant Rabi crops.

12 Drought in Maharashtra ( ) In , Maharashtra was in the grip of acute scarcity conditions for the third successive year. During and , kharif and rabi crops in large areas of the state were adversely affected due to erratic rains and as consequence of prolonged dry spells. In , Government declared scarcity situation in 9,714 kharif villages vide the resolution dated 11 th March The district-wise number of such villages were as follows:

13 List of District wise No.of villages where Kharif Crop Paisewari was less than or equal to 50p in the year Sl.No District Paisewari declared villages No.of villages where Paisewari is <= 50p Paisewari more than 50p Villages 1 Thane Raigad Ratnagiri Sindhudurg Pune Satara Sangli Solapur Kolhapur Nashik Dhule Nandurbar Jalgaon Ahmednagar Aurangabad Jalna Parbhani Hingoli Nanded Beed Osmanabad Latur Nagpur Wardha Bhandara Chandrapur Gadchiroli Gondiya Amravati Akola Washim Buldhana Yeotmal Total The Government also declared scarcity in 3326 rabi villages where Paisewari was less than or equal to 50 (Resolution dated 19 th March 2003).

14 The district-wise number of such villages were as follows: List of District wise No.of villages where Rabi Crop Paisewari was less than or equal to 50p in the year Sl.No District Paisewari declared villages No.of villages where Paisewari is <= 50p Paisewari more than 50p Villages 1 Pune Sangli Satara Solapur Nagpur Bhandara Chandrapur Gadchiroli Ahmednagar Aurangabad Jalna Beed Total Besides in the above villages, the Government of Maharashtra took a decision on 19 March 2003 to provide the following facilities even to the villages where Paisewari was more than Employment to be given to the workers under EGS so that no one remained unemployed. 2. Wherever there was a scarcity of drinking water, a series of steps to be taken which includes installation of new bore wells, restoration of old bore wells, digging and acquisition of wells, supplying drinking water through tankers and bullock carts, and activating temporary pipeline projects etc. 3. Reserving water in dams for drinking purposes on a priority basis. 4. To start cattle camps where ever necessary.

15 Chapter II: South-West Monsoon 2.3. Onset and advance of Monsoon Onset of monsoon The normal date of commencement of monsoon in the State is 7th June. In the year , monsoon commenced on 11th June, Abnormal feature in the advance of monsoon 2002 During the period of 11th to 24th June, 2002, there was scant rainfall. Thereafter during the period from 25th to 28th June, 2002, heavy to very heavy rainfall was received in almost all parts of the state. In Thane district, very heavy rainfall was recorded on 26th and 27th June, resulting in loss of paddy nurseries. Rainfall received during June, 2002 exceeded the average in almost all the districts of the State.

16 2.3.3 July dry spell characteristics During the month of July, especially in the first fortnight, i.e. from 1st July, 2002 to 17th July, 2002, there was a long dry spell all over the State. There were some rains from 18th July, 2002 but it was very scanty and meagre. The overall actual average rainfall during the month of July, 2002 was less than 50% of the average rainfall in almost all the districts Revival of Monsoon in August-September During the first fortnight of August, there was light to medium rainfall in the State. However, its intensity was low. During the second fortnight of August and first week of September (i.e. from 22nd August to 3rd September, 2002), there was heavy rainfall in almost all the districts of the State. This led to loss of crops due to heavy rainfall and floods. The rainfall during August 2002 exceeded the average in almost all the districts. However, there was again a long dry spell from 3rd Sept.2002.
