Analysis of Deccan Trap Area with Special Reference to Hydro-Landscape

Basalt rock is very fine-grained, almost glassy, and impervious in the Deccan trap area. It covers
Maharashtra and parts of Madhya Pradesh. Since it is an impervious geological zone, rainwater harvesting
and hydro landscape planning will be the best way to develop a water body. Chandrapur is one of
Maharashtra's eleven Vidarbha districts. It borders Andhra Pradesh on the south, Garhchiroli on the east,
Gondia, Bhandara, Nagpur, and Wardha on the north, and Yavatmal on the west. Wardha and Wainganga
rivers border the district. 19°30'–20°45' north latitudes and 78°46'–80°00' east longitudes define the
district. Since annual rainfall averages 1227.0 mm, humidity ranges from 17%-89%, and temperatures
range from 4deg C to 44deg C. A lake will improve the hydro landscape and accommodate flooded water
since the region receives 5.0 lakh to 6.0 lakh cubic meters of water annually. The impervious Deccan trap
causes flooding and water logging in local depressions due to its good runoff. The study area is in Deccan
Trap, where low rainfall infiltration and high runoff cause waterlogging, flooding, and ugly hydro
landscapes. The lake is suggested to improve the hydro landscape and accommodate flooding and
waterlogging.
