Résumé
The research is to be carried out on the Girja river basin which is one of
the main sub river basin of Purna river which is sub river basin of godavari.
Girja River flowing through the Aurangabad and Jalna district of Maharashtra.
This basin faces water scarcity problem due to erratic rainfall and change in
geohydrological characters of strata which is mainly different types of basaltic
flows. The water bearing characters of Alluvium aswell as Basaltic flows are
different place to place. In the alluvium the different layers of clay, sandy beds
play important rolein ground water occurrence. The thickness and the extent
ofbasaltic flow throw the focus on availability of ground water. In Deccan Trap
area the ground water occurrence mainly depends on thefactors likejointing
pattern ; topographic variation, thickness and lateral extent of different flows.
The study area is a part of the Deccan Plateau. In general the slopes in the
district are towards south and southeast. The average elevation of the district is
in the order of 500 m msl. Within it are flat topped hill ranges extending over
wide area and also hills separated by broad valleys.
For the investigation of the details geohydrological characters of Deccan
basaltic flows Topographic Surveys, Field characters of basalt flows in Girja
River Basin, Well Inventory, Geohydrological Surveys, Preparation of
Geohydrological Graph, has been adapted.
The studies will helpful in locating high medium and low ground water
potential Zone in study area. It will also throw light on the causes responsible
for water scarcity problem in study area which will help to minimize water
scarcity problem of study area
