blocks viz. Kalyanpur, Bidhnu, Sarsaul, Bilahaur, Kakawan, Sivrajpur, Chaubepur,

Patara, Bhitrgaon and Ghatampur. The major parts of the area is almost a flat

plain with some minor undulations. The river Ganga and Yamuna with their

tributaries form Dendritic type of drainage system As per census of 2011 the

total population of the district is 2,765,348of which male and female are

1,489,062 and 1,276,286 male respectively. In year 2005-06 the Net sown area is

185667 hectare and Net Irrigated area is 130333 hectare. The area irrigated by

Canal is 32308 hectare where as by ground water is 96636 hectare (74%). The

total length of Canal in the district is 822 km. The total number of state tube wells

and boring wells are 293 and 54160 respectively.

LAND USE PATTERN DISTRICT KANPUR NAGAR DRAINAGE

The monotony of featureless plain of upper Ganga Bairaj valley is preserved

throughout the district. At places this monotony is broken by small rivers like Pandu.

Stretches of Saline and Alkaline Sandy Soil, known as ‘bhurs’are found along the

rivers. The region in general is a part of well integrated system of the river Ganga.

Yamuna is the most important tributary flows in the eastern part of the district and

engulfs above mentioned small rivers. Yamuna forms the eastern boundary of the

district. There are three rivers flowing through the district of Kanpur Nagar.

TRANSPORT

RAILWAYS-Kanpur centralise one of the five major railway station of "Central

railways” in India. It is the busiest railway station in India in terms of frequency of

trains. Around 230 trains passes through the station daily. It is a major intercity

rail and commuter rail station in the city of Kanpur, and is situated on the Howrah -

D.S.R.- Kanpur Nagar Page 5

District Survey Report- Kanpur Nagar

Delhi broad gauge route passing through Uttar Pradesh. It also holds the record for the

largest interlocking route system in the world. It is the busiest station of the North

Central Railways, recording traffic of more than 150,000 passengers. After

determining the railway stations that need to be world-class, former Railway Minister

Mamta Banerjee included Kanpur Central in her list. She included funding for this

work in her "50 World-Class Railway Stations" budget. A phased revamping has

begun.

Though the re-modelling of Kanpur Central Station began a long time ago, it is being

done gradually in phases. At present, the re-modelling work is proceeding very

slowly, but senior NCR officials are hopeful of keeping their promise of providing a

new, improved look to Kanpur Central in the near future.

The present station was built in 1928,though the imposing building was completed in

1930. The building's construction is inspired by Lucknow's magnificent Lucknow

Charbagh railway station building which was built by the British in 1914; however, it

could not be constructed identically to Charbagh because it would have been

enormously expensive.

ROAD:The city has had chronic problems with maintaining local roads. There are several important National Highways that pass through Kanpur.

RING ROAD

In 2011 it was reported by The Indian Express that "The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is all set to develop a four-lane outer ring road along the periphery of Kanpur with an aim to prevent traffic congestion in the industrial city caused by long-distance heavy vehicles. The new road, which will help the heavy vehicles to bypass the city, will be developed on Built, Operate and Transfer (BOT) basis under the phase-VII of National Highways Development Programme (NHDP)"

DIVISIONS

 Kanpur division is an administrative geographical unit of Uttar Pradesh state of India. Kanpur is the administrative headquarters of the division. Currently (2005), the division consists of:

Auraiya District Etawah Farukhabad Kanpur Dehat Kanpur Nagar Kannauj

Kanpur division was earlier part of the Allahabad division. In the year,

2000, the Mayawati government did a major reshuffle of the Allahabad division, and a separate Kanpur division was created.

The Kanpur district itself was bifurcated into Kanpur Dehat and Kanpur Nagar. Kanpur Dehat was renamed as Ramabai Nagar, after the name of Ramabai (1896-1935), the wife of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. It is famous that the secret of success in life of B.R. Ambedkar was his wife Ramabai.In 2012 the name was changed back to Kanpur Dehat.

DETAILS OF PRODUCTION OF SAND OR MINOR MINERAL IN LAST

THREE YEARS

There was no sand mining in the district from 2014-15 to 2016-17. Hence the

production of sand or Moram during last three years was nil but minor mineral

ordinary earth contributed in the head of royalty as given below in table. Whereas

from April 2017 to August 2017 total revenue generation was Rs. 13,57,75,995 out of

which Rs. 40,51,67,769 (please refer section-4 for total revenue generated) generated

by short term permit for sand mining through e-tendering generates revenue in

advance considering the average bit of Rs. 65 And 150 per cubic meter for whole

district. The production comes around 12, 70,640 cubic meters.

PROCESS OF DEPOSITION OF SEDIMENTS IN THE RIVERS 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. 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 corrosion. 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

D.S.R.- Kanpur Nagar Page 12

District Survey Report- Kanpur Nagar

rock or after heavy rainfall when the river’s flow is 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.

Cavitations 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 creatinga 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

salvation. 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

D.S.R.- Kanpur Nagar Page 13

District Survey Report- Kanpur Nagar

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 solution.

Capacity & Competence Rivers can only carry so many loads 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’s several reasons why ariver 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, incontrast, 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 meander will change

D.S.R.- Kanpur Nagar Page 14

District Survey Report- Kanpur Nagar

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.

TOPOLOGY:

The district of Kanpur Nagar occupies the north-western part of the Kanpur division (until 16 October 1988 it was a part of the Allahabad Division) and belongs to the tract known as the lower Doab (which comprises the eastern extremity of the strip of country lying between the Ganga and the Yamuna rivers). In shape it is an irregular quadrilateral and lies between the parallels of 25º 26' and 26º 58' north latitude and 79º 31' and 80º 34' east longitude. To the north east, beyond the Ganga, the deep stream of which forms the boundary of the district, lie the districts of Hardoi and Unnao while to the south across, the Yamuna, are the districts of Hamirpur and Jalaun. On the south east the boundary marches with that of district Fatehpur and to the west and north west are Auriya and Kannauj districts.

PHYSIOGRAPHY OF THE DISTRICTThe Kanpur Nagar District is part of Indo Genetic Plain. The silt, gravel, and sands

of different grades are main water bearing formations. The ground water occurs

8 under unconfined condition in phreatic zones and under confined condition in

deeper zones. The sediment logical constitution of the subsurface granular zones

shows remarkable variation in the depth and the nature of occurrence in north

and southern part of the district. In southern part specially along Yamuna river,

feldspar-quartz, Jaspar sands and gravel (Mourum) are the main constituents of

the granular zones that occurs comparatively at shallow levels i.e. 24 to 57 mbgl

whereas in the northern parts along the Ganga river, these reworked

sedimentary formations are existing at deeper levels i.e. 265 to 310 mbgl. The

D.S.R.- Kanpur Nagar Page 18

District Survey Report- Kanpur Nagar

provenance of these sedimentary formations is mainly Bundelkhand Granite

Complex of Archean age and Vindhyan Sandstone of Puranas. In the northern

part the silt and clay sediments forming thin lensoid beds are frequently

occurring in dept

CLIMATE OF DISTRICT KANPUR NAGAR

The climate is sub humid and it is characterized by hot summer and general dryness

except in the south west monsoon. About 90% of rainfall takes place from third week

of June to September. During monsoon surplus water is available to deep percolation

to ground water. May and early part of June constitute the hottest part of the year. The

mean daily maximum temperature in May is 41.70C. The mean daily minimum

temperature is 27.20C and maximum temperature rises up to 450C or over. With the

onset of the monsoon in June the day temperature drops down appreciably. The

January is the coldest month with mean daily maximum temperature at 22.80C and

mean daily minimum temperature at 8.60C. The mean monthly maximum temperature

is 32.20C and mean monthly minimum temperature is 19.50C. During monsoon

season the relative humidity is high and in summer season, humidity is less. The mean

monthly morning relative humidity is 69% and mean monthly relative humidity is

50%. The winds are generally light with some strength in force during summer and

early monsoon season. The mean wind velocity is 9.6 k.m.p.h. The potential

evapotranspiration is 1660.9 mm.

RAINFALL OF DISTRICT KANPUR NAGARThe average annual rainfall in the district is 1021.3 mm. and it varies from 979.1 mm. at Deogaon to 1060.4 mm. at Kanpur. On an average there are 50 rainy days(i.e. days with rainfall of 2.5 mm. or more) in a year in the district. This number varies from 48 at Deogaon to 52 at Kanpur. For agriculture purpose the most critical period is rainy season from June to October. Agriculturists reckon during that season by the periods which are known as maha nakshatrs, and which they call nakhats. There are twenty-seven nakshatrs in the solar year. The six nakhat to the period between June 19th and the 2nd July is known as adra. The 13th is known as hast or hathia and corresponds to the period between September 24 and 7th October. A favourable season for agriculture begins with a good fall in rain early in adra and ends with a similar fall in hast.

GEOLOGY AND MINERAL WEALTHGEOLOGY:-The Kanpur Nagar district lies in middle part of Uttar Pradesh,It lies

between Latitude 25026’ to 26058’ North and Longitude 79043’ to 80034’ Eastin

Survey of India Toposheet No. 54N and 63B. The total geographical area of the

district is 3155 sq.km. The major parts of the area are almost a flat plain with

some minor undulations. The river Ganga and Yamuna with their tributaries

form the drainage system (Dendritic type).The district lies in the Ganga basin

which is formed of alluvium of the early quaternary period. In the district, no

hard or consolidated rock exposures are encountered. The main constituents of

alluvium are sand, silt and clay occurring in variable proportions in different

sections. The mineral products of the district of saline earth from which salt

petre and salt are derived (U.P. District Gazetteers Kanpur).The soil of the district

exhibits a great variety of composition and appearance. The major part of the

district consists of ordinary soils known locally as Bhur and Sand on ridges,

Matiyar or clay in depressions and Domat or Loam in the Plains. The 'Reh'

prevails in the clay dominant areas.The major parts of the area is almost a flat

plain with some minor undulations.

Kanpur Nagar Plain:

The plain is situated in the central part of the district covering parts of all six tahsils of the district with a little variation in relative relief. It is also formed of Alluvium and Dun-gravels of Recent age. A continuous belt of eroded surface may be seen along the Surayana, Gond and Puras streams in their lower courses. This region covers an area of 2,828.55 sq. km.

Ganga Basin:

The Ganga basin outspreads in India, Tibet (China), Nepal and Bangladesh over an area of 10,86,000 Sq.km.

D.S.R.- Kanpur Nagar Page 24

District Survey Report- Kanpur Nagar
