SOIL CONDITIONS:
DELHI GEOGRAPHY DIVIDES THE STATE INTO THREE PARTS THE DELHI RIDGE, THE YAMUNA FLOOD PLAIN AND THE PLAINS. THE
YAMUNA RIVER PLAINS ARE VERY FERTILE AS THEY ARE FLOODED BY THE RIVER AND RICH IN ALLUVIAL SOIL. THE DELHI RIDGE IS
THE MOST IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTIC OF THE STATE AND IS A PART OF THE ARAVALI RANGE THAT PASSES THROUGH DELHI.
SOIL TYPE:
THE SOIL TYPE IS DERIVATIVE OF YAMUNA FLOOD PLAIN ALLUVIUM DUE TO WHICH THERE IS PROGRESSIVE CLAYEY MATERIAL AT
THE TOP OF THE SOIL HORIZON WHILE THE SAND AND SILT PORTIONS INCREASE PROGRESSIVELY DOWNWARDS. THE PROPOSED
ACTIVITY WILL NOT AFFECT ANY LAND DISTURBANCE RESULTING IN EROSION, SUBSIDENCE AND INSTABILITY. THE AREA IS NOT
SUSCEPTIBLE TO EROSION.
SLOPE ANALYSIS:
THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE CITY IS ALMOST PLAIN.
THE PROJECTAREA POSSESSES FAIRLY PLAIN TERRAIN WITH NEGLIGIBLE DRAINAGE SLOPE OF THE PROJECT SITE.
SUBSIDENCE/EROSION:
PROPER GREENING AND PAVING OF SITE AREA WILL NOT CAUSE ANY SOIL SUBSIDENCE PROBLEM.
SEISMICITY:
THE WHOLE COUNTRY HAS BEEN DIVIDED INTO 5 SEISMIC ZONES AS PER MAXIMUM INTENSITY OF 'MODIFIED MERCALLI SCALE'
(MMS). THE PROJECT SITE LIES IN SEISMIC ZONE IV, CALLED AS 'HIGH DAMAGE RISK ZONE'.
DRAINAGE:
RIVER YAMUNA IS COMING WITHIN 0.73 KM TOWARDS EAST AND MCD DRAIN IS ADJACENT TO THE PROPOSED SITE TOWARDS NORTH.
NO NATURAL DRAINAGE LIES IN THE VICINITY OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT SITE.
