4.5 Existing infrastructure: The existing land use of mine lease area belongs to landuse
category “Uncultivated land” and shall continue to be so even after the current mining project is
over.
4.6 Geology:
Regional Geology:
The Ganga basin has been dominated by transvers river system since Pliocene due to erosion
during uplift that is symmetric subsidence of foreland. Large plio-Pleistocene sediment combines
with less asymmetric subsidence and uplift of the proximal fore land let to the pro gradation of
the drainage system that displaced the Yamuna River and after Allahabad Ganga River to edge
of the foreland basin. The Present river system consistent with erosion driven uplift adjacent
Himalayan. The regional geological setup is very well depicted in the map below;
Source: Singh I B 1996
Local Geology:
Geology map of Allahabad city shows the existence of Terrace Alluvium and Varanasi Alluvium
as geologic unit. The Varanasi Older Alluvium, a polycyclic sequence of yellowish brown clay-
silt and fine sand with dissemination of kankar, is exposed in the north of Yamuna. The Newer
Alluvium is characterized by unoxidised khaki and grey coloured sediments which consists
Pre- Feasibility Report
Environment Clearance of Proposed Brick Earth Mining project for M/s R.N.S Brick Field at Village- Badruddinpur, Tehsil- Phoolpur, District- Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh
Page 10 of 10
predominantly of micaceous sand, silt and clay. It has been divided into Terrace and Channel
Alluvium. The Terrace Alluvium of both Ganga and Yamuna are developed on a cut and eroded
platform of Varanasi Older Alluvium. The Terrace Alluvium of Ganga consists of multiple fill
sequence of grayish sand, silt and clay while that of Yamuna consists of medium to fine grained
quartzo- feldspathic and grey
micaceous sand. Geology of the area is characterized by a thick pile of quaternary Alluvium
consisting of sand, graveland clay with occasional presence of thin to thick kankar intercalation.
4.8 Climatic conditions:
The study area is Allahabad Plateau zone and is subjected to vagaries of weather. The climate of
the project area is characterized by cool and dry climate. The year can be divided into three
distinct seasons; winters last from October to March followed by summers from April to June.
Temperature
In the plains during the summer season, the maximum temperature is of the order of 41.7°C and
minimum temperature of the order of 7.7 °C. With the onset of the southwest monsoon by about
the end of June day temperatures decrease while night temperatures remain as in the summer
season. During the post-monsoon season, mid-September to November, both day and night
temperatures begin to drop appreciably. January is the coldest month. In the plains during this
month the mean daily minimum temperature is of the order of 18.91°C and the daily maximum
temperature of the order of 32.47°C.
Humidity
During the southwest monsoon season the relative humidity is high and after the withdrawal of
the monsoon humidity decreases. The mean monthly maximum relative humidity in the morning
of August month is 84% and mean monthly minimum relative humidity measured in the morning
of May is 41%.
Cloudiness
Pre- Feasibility Report
Environment Clearance of Proposed Brick Earth Mining project for M/s R.N.S Brick Field at Village- Badruddinpur, Tehsil- Phoolpur, District- Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh
Page 11 of 10
In the winter season the sky is generally clear or lightly clouded except for brief spells of a day
or two each time when in association with the passage of western disturbances particularly in the
northern parts of the district sky become cloudy. Sky is clear or lightly clouded in the summer
and post-monsoon seasons. Heavily clouded to overcast sky prevail in the monsoon seas
Winds
Wind direction and speed are the most critical metrological parameters, as they govern the
dispersion of pollutants. Wind direction is reported as the direction from which the wind blows
and is based on surface observations. Over the course of a year, wind usually blows in all
directions, with varying frequencies. Certain directions occur more frequently than others, which
are known as the prevailing wind directions. Winds are generally light to moderate in this area. It
can be seen that the annual mean wind speed varies from 0.8 to 14.2 km/h. The prominent wind
direction is East and South east.
Rainfall
The main rainy season is the southwest monsoon season, from about the last week of June to
September-mid, some rainfall much less in amount occurs in the cold season from December to
February in association with the passage of western disturbances, District receives annual rainfall
is about 489 mm. The maximum rainfall received during monsoon period was June to mid
September. The maximum rainfall varies from 400 mm. to 550 mm. The lowest rainfall was
received during the month of November-December. In the same fifty year period the annual
rainfall was less than 80% of the normal in ten years. There were three occasions when two
consecutive years had rainfall less than 80% of the normal
4.9 Social Infrastructure
The social infrastructure like educational facilities (primary and higher secondary schools,
degree college), drinking water supply, post and telegraph, public transportation and hospitals
are by and large are available in the study area.
