1- INTRODUCTION

The Bemetara district is one of thenewely formed district of Chhattisgarh states,

which formed on 1st January 2012 from the separation of Durg District. The

District is moderately populated and situated in the central part of the Chhattisgarh

State covers an area of 2854.81sq km. It falls in Survey of India Degree Sheet Nos.

64F and 64G bounded by latitude 21°22' to 22°03' N and longitude 81°07' to 81°55

E. It is surrounded by Durg districts in the south, Rajnandgaon&Kabirdham

District in the west, Mungeli districts in the north and Baloda-bazar & Raipur

district in the East.

Bemetara is the district headquarters and is well connected by road and railway.

National Highway No. 12A and connects Bemetara with Kabirdham. Bemetara is

also connected by road with Raipur, Baloda-Bazar, Kabirdham and Durg with the

other important towns in the district.

Acording to NotificationofEnvironment, Forest and Climate Change

Ministry,Goverment of India dated15 January 2016, as prescribed in Para 7(iii) and

Annexure (x).District Survey Report has been prepared.

District Survey report will be prepared in every district for Sand mining or River

bed mining and other small minerals mining. The main purpose of preparation of

district survey report is to identify the land increase or depositional areas and its

6. PROCESS OF DEPOSITION OF SEDIMENTS IN THE RIVERS

Sendimentation of rivers of District

6- Process of river sedimentation:-

What is erosion?

Erosion is natural process, wathering, corrosion, or abrasion can reduce a material

into smaller particles. Normally, these smaller units are relocated by water, wing,

ice, or man. Erosion removes tosoil, organic material, and other valuable resources.

What is sedimentation?

Once a material is broken free of the larger mass, it can be carried away and

deposited elsewhere. This process of depositing eroded material is known as

sedimentation. Some indications of sedimentation are sand dunes, mud in the street

around drains, and decreased water holding capacity of stream, reservoir, or pond.

Why should we be concerned about erosion and sedimentation?

Sediment is responsible for more stream and river degardation than any other

pollutant. Deposits of sediments in ditches, streams, and rivers reduce their

capacity to store water resulting in more frequent and severe flooding and

increased property damage. Accumulations of sediment may result in severe

damage to storm drain systers. Many millions of dollars are spent each year to

dredge our state waterways, to remove sediments from storm drain systerms,

reseroirs, and water treatment plants, and to repair flood damage.

Sediment in streams and rivers causes the most damage to aduatic life by severely

impacting aquatic animal habitats and degrading water quality. Areas needed for

21

reproduction and food sources are destroyed when fine silts cover the sand and

gravel streambed. Decreased clarity of the water prevents sunlight from reaching

plants resulting in loss of aquatic plant communities. The result is a reduction in

the number and variety of fish and other aquatic life. This impact ofter can see for

many miles downstream.

Process-

Rivers have a lot of energy and because they have energy, they do stuff. The

obvious things rivers do with their energy is flow but, besides this, they also

transport load, erode load and erode the channel through which they flow. Erosion

Erosion is the breaking down of material by an agent. In the case of a river, the

agent is water. The water can erode the river’s channel and the river’s load. A

river’s load is bits of eroded material, generally rocks, which the river transports

until it deposits its load. A river’s channel is eroded laterally and vertically making

the channel wider and deeper. The intensity of lateral and vertical erosion is

dictated by the stage in the river’s course, discussed in more detail here but

essentially, in the upper stage of the river’s course (close to the source of the river)

there is little horizontal erosion and lots of vertical erosion. In the middle and

lower stages vertical erosion is reduced and more horizontal erosion takes place.

There are several different ways that a river erodes its bed and banks. The first is

hydraulic action, where the force of the water removes rock particles from the bed

and banks. This type of erosion is strongest at rapids and waterfalls where the

water has a high velocity. The next type of erosion is corrasion. This is where the

river’s load acts almost like sandpaper, removing pieces of rock as the load rubs

against the bed & banks. This sort of erosion is strongest when the river is

transporting large chunks of rock or after heavy rainfall when the river’s flow is

22

turbulent. Corrosion is a special type of erosion that only affects certain types of

rocks. Water, being ever so slightly acidic, will react with certain rocks and

dissolve them. Corrosion is highly effective if the rock type of the channel is chalk

or limestone (anything containing calcium carbonate) otherwise, it doesn’t have

much of an effect. Cavitation is an interesting method of erosion. Air bubbles

trapped in the water get compressed into small spaces like cracks in the river’s

banks. These bubbles eventually implode creating a small shockwave that weakens

the rocks. The shockwaves are very weak but over time the rock will be weakened

to the point at which it falls apart. The final type of erosion is attrition. Attrition is

a way of eroding the river’s load, not the bed and banks. Attrition is where pieces

of rock in the river’s load knock together, breaking chunks of rock off of one

another and gradually rounding and shrinking the load. Transportation when a river

erodes the eroded material becomes the river’s load and the river will then

transport this load through its course until it deposits the load. There are a few

different ways that a river will transport load depending on how much energy the

river has and how big the load is. The largest of particles such as boulders are

transported by traction. These particles are rolled along the bed of the river,

eroding the bed and the particles in the process, because the river doesn’t have

enough energy to move these large particles in any other way. Slightly smaller

particles, such as pebbles and gravel, are transported by saltation. This is where the

load bounces along the bed of the river because the river has enough energy to lift

the particles off the bed but the particles are too heavy to travel by suspension.

Fine particles like clay and silt are transported in suspension; they are suspended in

the water. Most of a river’s load is transported by suspension. Solution is a special

method of transportation. This is where particles are dissolved into the water so

only rocks that are soluble, such as limestone or chalk, can be transported in

23

solution. Capacity & Competence Rivers can only carry so much load depending

on their energy. The maximum volume of load that a river can carry at a specific

point in its course is called the river’s capacity. The biggest sized particle that a

river could carry at a specific point is called the river’s competence. Deposition to

transport load a river needs to have energy so when a river loses energy it is forced

to deposit its load. There are several reasons why a river could lose energy. If the

river’s discharge is reduced then the river will lose energy because it isn’t flowing

as quickly anymore. This could happen because of a lack of precipitation or an

increase in evaporation. Increased human use (abstraction) of a river could also

reduce its discharge forcing it deposit its load. If the gradient of the river’s course

flattens out, the river will deposit its load because it will be travelling a lot slower.

When a river meets the sea a river will deposit its load because the gradient is

generally reduced at sea level and the sea will absorb a lot of energy. As rivers get

nearer to their mouths they flow in increasingly wide, gentle sided valleys. The

channel increases in size to hold the extra water which the river has to receive from

its tributaries. As the river gets bigger it can carry larger amounts of material. This

material will be small in size, as larger rocks will have broken up on their way

from the mountains. Much of the material will be carried in suspension and will

erode the river banks by abrasion. When rivers flow over flatter land, they develop

large bends called meanders. As a river goes around a bend most of the water is

pushed towards the outside causing increased erosion. The river is now eroding

sideways into its banks rather than downwards into its bed, a process called lateral

erosion. On the inside of the bend, in contrast, there is much less water. The river

will therefore be shallow and slow-flowing. It cannot carry as much material and

so sand and shingle will be deposited. This is called a point bar or slip off slope

Due to erosion on the outside of a bend and deposition on the inside, the shape of a

24

meander will change over a period of time. Notice how erosion narrows the neck

of the land within the meander. In time, and usually during a flood, the river will

cut right through the neck. The river will then take the new, shorter route. The

fastest current, called the thalweg, will now tend to be in the centre of the river,

and so deposition is likely to occur in gentler water next to the banks. Eventually

deposition will block off the old meander to leave an oxbow lake. The oxbow lake

will slowly dry up, only refilling after heavy rain or during a flood. Streams lose

velocity and make deposits when their gradient decreases, when the volume of

water decreases, when there is an increase in cross section, when they encounter

obstructions, or when they enter still water. They deposit alluvial fans, alluvial

cones, piedmont alluvial plains, channel fill, bars, flood plains and deltas.

7. General Profile of the District

Bemetara city is well connected to Raipur, Jabalpur, Bilaspur, Durg and

Kawardha by roadways.NH-30 passes through the heart of city which is one of the

buissiest road in the state.This highway connects state capital Raipur to one of the

major city of Madhya Pradesh, Jabalpur.There are two state highway passing

through Bemetara that are Durg to Bemetara and Kumhari - Bemetara – Mungeli.

History:

Comparatively a new district in Chhattisgarh, India, Bemetara district was

established as tahsil in the year 1907 along with the Mungeli (Bilaspur region).

This region is coloured by ever-widening importance in history since the time it

had been established. However, it is largest town amongst other town in the

scenario of land and population. Owing to its suitability to being a district of

Chhattisgarh, it had to wait to call upon since Kawardha has integrated.

Conversely, the Chhattisgarh government has realised its importance in central

CG. Bemetara is an attractive tourist destination as villages like Bataar, Mohbhatta

and Khamhariya are famous for their temples and lakes.

Additional information of the district

Drainage System:-

Shivnath

Sheonath is main river of District Bemetara. Shivnathriver is tributary of Mahanadi

river. Shivnathriver originates from Mountain at height of 625 meter at Panabaras

situated in south western parts of Rajnandgaon and flows towards north east

direction. Shivnath River measures length about 345 KM. City Durg is situated on

east bank of Shivnath River. It flows towards north east passing through Khujji,

Rajnandgaon, Durg, Dhamdha and Nandghat and joins (meet) Mahanadi near

Shivari Narayan of Bilaspur District.

Kharun

Kharunriver flows in eastern parts of the district starting from Petechua in Balod

District. This river flows towards north and joins (meet) ShivnathRiver at Somnath

near Simga. This river determines the boundary of Raipur and Durg district. The

length of this river is about 120 KM.

42

Survey Report for Sand Mining of District Bemetara

This survey report is prepared for District Bemetara to identify the sustainable

mining area. In District Bemetarathere are six rivers namely Shivnath, Kharun,

Haff, Sakari, Surahi&Phonkriver.

All possible sand mining area has been surveyed. The riverwise area surveyed and

identified for sand mining is given in the annexure.

The thickness of sand load is considered average 4 meters in depth by observation

as well as local enquiry out of which up to depth of 3 meter is considered for

calculation of mineral potential.

The mining area will be 10m. away from the river bank and about 10m. Influence

as safity barrier from the main streem will be left, where mining operation will be

restricted. Hence 10 m. influence area from the main stream has been considered as

safity zone or non mining zone.

It is considered that replenishment of sand in every monsoon season is a regular

process. Based on the last five year observation, it is experienced that average of

3m. sand is replenished every year.

Area Prohibited for Mining:-

The following area will be prohibited for minng.

i. No mining activity will be executed 10 m. from the river bank.

ii. Mining is prohibited within 10 m. from the flow of the main stream.

iii. During mining measures should be taken to guide the flow to the centre

of the river to avoide erosion of banks.

iv. Mining area is restricted up to 500 mts.down stream of any structure like

bridge, diversion head work, anicut etc.

43

v. Measures should be kept in consideration that the flow of river should not

be diverted or obstructed.

vi. The distance between two sand mining locations should be minimum 500

meters.

vii. Before permission of mining a suitable test of sand for construction
