Geology and Geomorphology : Geology : The entire Ahmednagar district is covered by basaltic lava flows of the Deccan Traps belonging to the Upper Cretaceous to Eocene age. The Deccan Trap basalts are overlain by alluvial deposits along the river Godavari and occupies the northern part of the district. The stratigraphical sequence of the different lithological units occurring in the district is give below. Formation Age Lithology Alluvium Recent Clay, Silt and sand Deccan Traps Upper Cretaceous to Eocene Vesicular and Amygdular zeolitic basalt and massive basalt interbedded with red bole. Deccan Traps : The horizontally disposed basaltic lava flows of the Deccan traps are the only major geological formations occurring in the district. The flows are generally separated by clay layers. There are also intrusions known as dykes cutting across the flows. The average flow thickness varies between 15 to 25 m. Alluvium : A very small part of the district along the river Godavari is occupied by alluvial deposits. The alluvium is of recent age, and lying over the Deccan Traps. The alluvium has a wide areal extension spread over 6 to 7 kms across the river course. The alluvium consists of clay sand and silt with thickness ranging from 15 to 20 m. Lineaments : There is a moderate network of lineaments. The prominent trends are northsouth, northeast - southwest, and northwest - southeast. It is observed that the northwest - southeast lineaments have controlled the channels of the Ghod and Sina rivers. The quality of ground water for household as well as agricultural purposes is very good over most parts of the district and the water table is generally between depths of 20 to 200 feet. At places, the water is very salty and unfit for use. Geomorphology: The major geological formation of the area is Deccan Trap Basalts and so the area shows trappean landforms.On the basis of degree of dissections and origin of the landforms, the trappean land forms have been classified as a) Highly Dissected Plateau, b) Moderately Dissected Plateau c) Slightly Dissected Plateau all of structural origin and Denudational Landforms.Besides the trappean landforms , alluvial landforms also occupy small parts of the district. Climate and Rainfall : The climate of the Ahmednagar district is hot and dry in general. The maximum temperature recorded in the month of May rises to about 40° C while the lowest temperature recorded in the month of January goes down to about 5-8°C. The district is one of the C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\C.Lotus.Notes.DataRevised Grain Bank
drought prone districts of the state due to uncertain and uneven distribution of rainfall. It receives an annual average rainfall of about 556 mm. The rainfall varies between 360 mm in Pathardi tahsil to 1034 mm in Akole tahsil. However, the rainfall in Akole and Rahata tahsils is relatively more than that of the other tahsils. The cold season in the district commences from December & ends in the month of February. The period from March to the 1st Week of June is the hot season which is followed by southwest monsoon season which lasts till the end of September. October & November constitute the post monsoon season.
