The Geo Physical Condition of the area:
Climate: Climate of the area is characterized by hot dry summer
(maximum temperature climbs up higher than 40˚C). The average annual
rainfall is 1400 mm, but it is very sporadic in nature resulting in a topsy
turvy distribution throughout the monsoon period. Generally, July, August
and September are monsoon months.
Water resource: Because of undulated topography and high rate of
indiscriminate deforestation the rainfall - though fairly adequate - does
not result in sufficient ground water storage. Almost all the rain water
runs off quickly through the sloppy ground surfaces and goes out of the
catchments area through gullies and streams. Very small part of the rain
water percolates down into the ground. Moreover, due to high porosity of
soil and gradient, the surface water flow is considerably high, consequently
the ground water falls rapidly after the monsoon is over. All the streams
within the area are seasonal in nature and become dry by the month of
December. A majority of the existing tanks contain water, at the most, till
middle of January.
The major part of the area contains red sandy soil, the remaining part
contains red laterite soil with fractured rocky under layer. Due to absence
of adequate vegetative cover (Owing to high rate of deforestation) and heavy
surface runoff during monsoon, fertile topsoil has been eroded away to a
great extent. In fact, an alarmingly high percentage of land of this area is
wasteland. |
