INTRODUCTION

Chitradurga District is located 200km NW from Bangalore, bounded by

the geographical coordinates North Latitudes 13º 34' 20" to 15º 47' 10" to East

Longitudes 76º 01' 30" 77º 01' 35". The District is having a geographic area

of 8388.78 sq kms.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DISTRICT

Chitradurga district has a hoary past dating back to the pre-historic and

legendary times. According to a tradition, it was near the Jatinga Rameshvar hill

of this district that Jatayu challenged Ravana when, having abducted Sita, the

latter was passing through this part of the country with her on his way to Lanka.

According to another, during the period of their exile the Pandava brothers and

their mother Kunti stayed for some time near Chitradurga hills.

Some of the pot-shreds discovered in the pre-historic sites of the district

are stated to be similar to those found in the Indus Valley, Sumer and Crete of

the 3rd millennium B.C. Further, the ancient local culture which has been

designated as "Roppa Culture" is said to be similar to the campiguin culture of

France belonging to the period from 8000 B.C. to 6000 B.C.

Chitradurga features bold rock hills and picturesque valleys, huge towering

boulders in unimaginable shapes. It is known as the "stone fortress" (Kallina

Kote). The landscape looks much like a mischievous giant's playground, with

boulders thrown around, forming silhouettes against the sky. According to a

story in the Epic Mahabharatha, a man-eating gaint named Hidimbasura lived

on the Chitradurga hill and was a source of terror to everyone around. When the

Pandavas came with their mother Kunti in the course of their exile, Bhima had a

duel with Hidimba. Hidimba was slain by Bhima and peace returned to the area.

Legend has it the boulders were part of the arsenal used during that duel. In fact,

the boulders on which major part of the city rests belong to the oldest rock

formation in the country.

Timmana Nayaka a chieften under the Vijayanagar empire rose to the rank of

governor of Chitradurga as a reward for his excellence in military achievements,

from the Vijayanagara ruler. This was the beginning of the rule of the Nayakas

of Chitradurga. His son Obana Nayaka is known by the name Madakari Nayaka

1588 CE. Madakari Nayaka's son Kasturi Rangappa 1602 succeeded him and

consolidated the kingdom to rule peacefully. As he had no heirs to succeed him,

his adopted son, the apparent heir was enthroned but was killed in few months

by the Dalavayis.

Chikkanna Nayaka1676 the brother of Madakari Nayaka II sat on the throne,

and his brother succeeded him with the title Madakari Nayaka III in 1686. The

unwillingness of Dalawayis to accept Madakari Nayaka III's rule gave an

opportunity to one of their distant relatives, Bharamappa Nayaka to ascend the

throne in 1689. He is known as dthe greatest of the Nayaka rulers. Somehow,

the subjects of Chitradurga did not experience a good reign of the successive

rulers as they ruled on the throne for very brief periods. The Hiri Madakari

Nayaka IV 1721, Kasturi Rangappa Nayaka II 1748, Madakari Nayaka V 1758

ruled this area but there is not much to mention of their rule.

Chitradurga Fort:-

The old walled Town houses the impressive fort, built on the north eastern base

of a cluster of rocky hills, qualifying it to be a Giridurga, or hill fortress.

Known as Yelu Suthina Kote, the fort is fortified by seven circular walls, three

of which are on the ground and four on the hill. Chitradurga fort is said to have

had 19 majestic doors, 38 smaller doors, 35 special entry points and four secret

entrances. The fort is entered through four gateways of the outermost wall. The

foothills of the fort constitute the main residential area of the town. The Mel

Durgas, forts on the hill are embellished with extensive fortifications, ramparts,

bastions, batteries, watchtowers and entrances located at strategic points and

house fourteen temples. Some of the fort’s important landmarks are Thuppada

Kola Betta, Hidimbagiri, Zadaa Battery (Flag battery), Kahale Battery (Trumpet

battery), Lal Battery (Red battery) and Nellikai Battery (Gooseberry battery).

The main entrance to the fort, Kamanbhavi, has carvings of the seven – hooded

cobra the legendary twin headed bird, Gandaberunda, the royal

swan,Rajhamsa and lotus flowers.

GEOHYDROLOGY AND OCCURANCE OF GROUND WATER.

The above major rock units are Hard, crystalline Rocks, which have been

subjected to Tectonic Movements. The process of weathering produces joints

primarily by means of Temperature effect on Rock, as well as by Chemical and

physical action of Flowing Water. So produced joints by weathering rapidly lies

down within the upper 30 to 50mts in most Cases.

The most dense joint sets of the above origin can be observed in the upper

portion of the hard rock massifs. These joints may either open filled

(mineralized) fill being represented by sandy, clayey material or veins of

Quartz.

The character and extent of joint depends upon the composition and

hardness of the rocks. Harder rocks are less rapidly disintegrated, hence joint

penetrate them down to smaller depths.

In hard rock formation cut by differently oriented and mutually

intersecting joints can also be seen. Granites and other crystalline rocks often

contain little water. Which extend down to the depths of 30 to 50 meters and

very rarely 100mts.

The distribution and migration of ground water in jointed rocks are

variable, being dependent upon the Character, origin, and size of the cracks.

Joints in hard rock contain both Semi confined and unconfined ground water.

Ground water head is commonly produced by the Hydrostatic pressure in

intersecting joints, some of which occur in a recharge area at higher altitudes,

where the rain water and surface water infiltrate into the ground, in other places,

the water pressure in cracks in cracks is related to the pressure of gases

ascending from lower zones of the lithosphere. Major fracture zones also

Page 10: DISTRICT MINERAL SURVEY REPORTenvironmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/District/... · 2018. 2. 5. · Y:\Chitradurga\sand\DISTRICT MINERAL SURVEY REPORT.doc 2 (DEIAA) CHITRADURGA

contain ground water and these acts as good aquifer. Metamorphic rocks are

mainly Hornblende Schist and Chlorite Schist and Granite Gneiss.

The prominent water bearing zones are Secondary structures such as pore

space, joints and fractures in the different rock types that act as good Aquifers.

The depth of weathering zone varies from 10 to 20m. The depth of joint/

fracture zone varies from 20 to 90 m and the isolated fracture and joints may

extend down to a depth greater than 90m but less than 120m. Major structural

features, are fractures and fissures that occur in the rocks, than these features

acts as sub surface reservoir to hold and discharge ample quantity of ground

water.

GEOLOGY AND AQUIFER SYSTEM.

The rainfall precipitation is the only source for ground water recharge.

The total recharged water will be stored approximately at the following depth in

all geological setup. The thickness of the water bearing formation i..e, aquifer as

follows.

Maximum water will be stored in weathered / jointed / fractured rock

formations, up to a depth of 30m below ground level(bgl) and it accounts

approximately to tune of 65%to 75% of the total estimated ground water

recharge and 10% to 15% of the ground water will be stored at a depths ranges

from the 30 to 60m (bgl) in semi weathered rock formations (Granite, Granite

Gneiss, Schist) with joint / fractures, and 5%-10% of the ground water will be

stored at a depths ranges from the 60 to 90m (bgl) in hard rocks with fractures

and less than 5% of ground water will be stored at a depths ranges 90-

130m(bgl) in hard rock, with isolated fractures.

Review of ground water quality changes.

The objectives of the water quality monitoring net work is to:

Establish the Bench mark for different water quality parameters

Page 11: DISTRICT MINERAL SURVEY REPORTenvironmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/District/... · 2018. 2. 5. · Y:\Chitradurga\sand\DISTRICT MINERAL SURVEY REPORT.doc 2 (DEIAA) CHITRADURGA

Y:\Chitradurga\sand\DISTRICT MINERAL SURVEY REPORT.doc

11

Compare the different parameters against the national standards.

Detect water quality changes with time

Identify potential areas that show rising trend

Detect potential pollution sources

Study the impact of land use and industrialization on ground water quality.

To study the ground water chemistry, ground water quality-monitoring

network, has been established at 47 villages. From all the stations Base and

Trend water samples are collected and analyzed since many years. It is

observed from the analyzed report that Base samples shows higher

concentration of the substances or Characteristics like PH, CaCo3, Cl, Fe,

TDS, SO4,F and NO3 when compared with Trend samples Characteristic

Values. Ti is also noticed that concentration of the substances became low

and dispersion will be more in large area in Trend samples. The frequency of

monitoring for ground water quality is changed as base line monitoring where

as samples are collecting once in a year (one time a year) wells showing

abnormal parameters for trend monitoring (2 times a year) where as wells for

surveillance monitoring nil.

The overall aquifer system is unconfined and in many instances static water level exhibits a

pheatic water levels and in the semi confined aquifer, water level exhibits tendency according

to pressure head.

The geophysical, vertical electrical soundings were conducted to know sub surface

conditions of the aquifer system. It reveals the above sub surface condition of the

water bearing strata.

SOIL TYPES.

Major soil group in the District is red sandy soil followed by mixed red and

black cotton soil, deep black soil, red loamy and medium black cotton soil. Red sandy

soils are playing vital role in ground water recharge aspect. All above-mentioned soil

types except deep black cotton soil are favorable for ground water recharge.

Mineral Resources of Chitradurga District Chitradurga

district is one of the mineral rich district in the state, where many types of minerals. Thin

bands and lenses of barytes upto 1 m wide and 200 m long occur in association with the

fuchsite quartzite bands of Sargur Group in the Ghattihosahalli and adjacent areas.

Copper, Gold, Silver: A belt of polymetallic sulphide mineralisation

with a copper, lead, zinc, antimony, arsenic, gold and silver, has been traced over a strike

length of about 40 km, along the eastern part of the schist belt. This mineralised belt

designated as the Chitradurga sulphide belt, extends from Chikkahonnanahalli in the north to

Yarahalli in the south. Copper mineralisation is prominent in the Belligudda-Ingaldhalu-

Kunchiganahalu sector over a strike length of about 5 km. The Ingaldhalu mines is located in

this sector. At Ingaldhalu, chalcopyrite with minor pyrite, pyrrhotite, galena and sphalerite

occur as disseminations, stringers and fracture fillings in quartz veins occupying narrow shear

zones in the meta-basalts. The Belligudda-Ingaldhalu-Kunchiganahallu section has been

explored by drilling, jointly by GSI and the Dept. of Mines and Geology, Govt. of Karnataka.

On the basis of drilling data and the mine development data, reserves of 2.14 million tonnes

with an average copper content of 1.22% are estimated in the mine blocks, northwest and

northeast block. The copper ores also carry considerable silver and gold content.

INGALDHAL COPPER MINE (CENTRAL BLOCK) : This mine is situated

south of Chitradurga. HGML has got Mining Lease (ML No: 2490, Period: 06.03.1993 to

05.03.2013). Mining activities at Ingaldhal Copper Mine were carried out from 1965 to 1994.

Iron and Manganese Ore mines: Karnataka has over 9,000 million tonnes of iron

ore resources, of which the bulk is in the magnetite form. The production during the year

2007-08 crossed 47 million tons. The districts of Bellary and Hospet are the main districts,

whereas Chitradurga, Bagalkot and Tumkur districts are also produce significant amounts of

iron ore. The chunk of the iron ore is exported to be used in steel manufacture and pig iron

and sponge iron plants. Some of the Iron Ore mines are also associated with manganese,

dolomite, and limestone.
