of the state of Maharashtra. Akola, Jalgaon, Jalna, Parbhani districts
are the adjoining districts to the East, West & South respectively.
Nemad district of the Madhya Pradesh is to the North. The district
is mainly covered in Survey of India topographic Sheet No. 55D/8
& partly in 46P and 56 A & lies between 19°51’ to 21°17’ North latitude
and 75°57’ to 76°49’ East Longitude. The district Head Quarters

Geology And Geomorphology
From geological point of view there are no major
mineral ores, Some kinds of salts and lead are observed in Lonar
Crater but not commercially exploited. The major rock is Basalt
hence the major soil type is Regur or Black cotton soil predominantly
in Jalgaon Jamod, Sangrampur, Nandura, Shegaon, Malkapur, Khamgaon
areas. Deccan trap covered 80% of the total area of the district
and 20% area is covered by alluvium. All the talukas except Jalgaon
Jamod, Sangrampur & part of Shegaon talukas are covered by Deccan
trap. The trap is classified in, the following categories.1)Weathered
basalt of all types 2)Fractured & Jointed basalt.3)Vesicular geologic
basalt.4)Compact massive basalt. In basalt ground water occurs in
joints, fractured & other zone of weakens, which serve as loci for
the accumulation of groundwater. Percolation of ground water is
controlled by the density of joint, fractured, vascular in the Deccan
trap. The flow are separated by a tine gap deposition which is known
an intertrappens. In the district redboles occur as a major intertrapean
which play very distinct role in the local behavior of groundwater.
