GROUND WATER MEDIUM (Hydrogeological Conditions)
The largest State of the country is underlain by formations in age ranging from Archaean to Recent. One fifth of the area is occupied by granite gneisses and meta-sedimentary rocks, whereas one tenth by Gondwanas comprising sand stones, lime stones & marbles. The Deccan Trap covers a larger part of the State whereas the Quaternary alluvium covers 6% of the State area. The alluvial deposits form prolific aquifers where tubewell can yield in the range of 50-80 m3/hr. The yield of tubewells in sand stones of Gondwanas ranges between 20-30 m3/hr; whereas in limestones of Gondwanas, it varies between 50-80 m3/hr. The yield of tubewells in basalts in select area ranges between 20-30 m3/hr.
