The subzone is covered by the river Godavari” (in its lower, reaches) and its tributaries. The catchrent. area of the Subzone, is 1,74,201§-km., which ia Sétof the area of main Godavari basin. ‘The subzOne comprises of the sub masing” Of Muneru, Pengana, Wardha, Wainganga and Sabari.

Plains “of medium heights upto 150 m exist near main Godavari river in its Lover reaches. Higher plains between heights Of 350 to. 300 m cover most of the upper reiches. ‘The western part of the subzone and north of Nagpur is the zone of the Tow plateau in the range of 200 to 600s. The southeast and northwest portions of the subzone cover high plateaus in the ranges Of 600 to 900m and there are hills and higher, plateaus ranges fron 900 to 1350 m in the southeastern part of the subzone 2.3.2 soils Plate 3 shows the main soil classification in the subzone. ‘The broad soil groups in the subzone are red Solis and black sols. ‘The red soils are of red sandy, red foany and. red yellow type. Diack soils are of deep black, Rediun black and shallow black type. The black soils are clayey in texture. The texture of the red soils vary considerably from place to place. 2.3.2 Land use Plate 4 gives the land uee map of the subzone. More than 50% of the area is covered by forest. Arable land is of the order of 25%. 2.4 Climatological features (contributed by 11D) 2.4.1 Rainfall featur 2.4.2.1 Annual normat rainfall The igohyetal map of annual normal rainfall over the subzone is prepared (Plate-5) based on data of 291 stations of which 118' stations are inside and 173 stations outside the Subsone, Tt may, be seen from the map that the. annual Yainfali over major portions of the subzone is between 900 mn and 1600 mm. The annual rainfall is the lowest in the Western and southvestern parts of the subzone and increases hortheastwards and. eastwards. The centres of low rainfall Sre around Chandur (803 nm) in district Amraoti ‘of Maharashtra On" the west andi around siddipet in. district Medak of Andhra Pradesh on the southwest. The centres of high rainfall are. around” Tamia (1787' ni). in district Chhingvara Of M.P on the northwest, around Lanji( 1837 mm) in district. Balaghat of ™.P.on the northeast and around Jeypore (2940 mm) in district Koraput of Orissa on the southeast. 2.4.1.2 Monthly rainfall distribution Monthly rainfall distribution at six representative stations of the subzone viz. Lanji, Tamia, Jeypore, Warana, Chandyr’ and Siddipet is iilustrated thtowh bar charts appended to the annual norsal rainfall map. In the bar Charts alphabets along abscissa indicate mimes of months Whereas heights of rectangles are proportional to normal Tainfall of respective months. Figures at the top of each rectangle indicate the month's rainfall as percent of annual rainfall. It can be seen fron the bar charts that the main rainy season comprises of four months from June to September in the Subzone. Total rainfall for monsoon season at Lanji, Tania, Seypore, Wardha, Chandur and Siddipet is respectively 91%, 30%, 86 $, 87%, 86% and 818 of the annual rainfall. Out of these four rainy months , the maximum rainfall is in the nonth of July at all the representative stations, except Seypore. vhere the maxiun rainfall is in the ronth of August. The next rainiest month at these stations is August/July. 4 2.4.2 Temperature distribution 2.4.2.2 Mean daily temperature (annual) Mean daily tesperature distribution over the subzone (plate 6) has been prepared based on data of 27. stations (io'stat ions’ inside the subzone, 17 stations outside the Aibzone) The mean daily temperatures are Worked out as . average of mean navinum and mean minimin temperatures over the year. Tt may be seen from the map that mean daily Eomperatures ara slightly below 238c over southeastern parts Srcubzone in. Koraput district in orissa State. and over porthwestern parts adjoining pachmarhi in¥.P.. The highest Roan daily temperatures are slightly above 28°c over Farimnagar district of Andhra Pradesh. Major parte of the subzone experience mean daily temperatures between 25° and pave 2.4.2.2 Monthiy temperature variation at selected stations Monthly variations of maximum, minimux and mean daily temperatures for six representative stations viz~, Chhindwara, Nagpur, Buldnana, — Nizanabad, Ramagundan and Koraput. are shown’ graphically in piate-6, below the map of nean’ daily” tenperatures.

PART-IIT SYWTHETIC UNIT HYDROGRAPH sTuDIES 3.1 synthetic unit nydrograph (SUG) Hydroneteorological approach has been adopted for developing a regional metnoa for estinating design fised for small and medium catchments in various hydrometeorologica lly. homogeneous” subzones. In this approach, the, design’ storm after. converting it into eftective rainfall (input) is applied to the unit nydroaraph (transfer function) te obtain adesign flood (basin response). It is possible to. develop unit” hydrograph if site specific concurrent rainfall ‘runofe deta is available ‘for 3-4 years. Collection of adequate concurrent rainfall runoff data for every site, is novever neither practicable nor economically feasible. In such a tuation, ‘the regional method for developing Synthetic unit hydregraph (SUG) is resorted to. The SUC in the present study is a unit nydrograph of unit duration for a catchment developed from relations. established between physiographic and unit hydrograph parameters of the representative gauged catchments in. hy@rometeorielgical ly honegenous region (subzone). Data collected and analysed fOr obtaining subzonal suG equations are discussed in sisceed ing paragraphs 3.2 Data requirea For conducting the unit hydregragh studies for development of equations for derivation of SUG. following concurrent rainfall” and” runoff data. for a. nisber OF catchments of small and medium size, representatively located in @ subzone are required for a period of s to @ years during the monsoon season: i) Hourly gauge data at the gauging site (bridge site) Ai) | Gauge and discharge data observed 2 to 3 tines a day at the gauging site. iii) Hourly rainfall data of raingauge stations in the catchment. " Raingauge stations maybe selfrecording and Jor manually operated. Following catchnent details are also required. iv) Catchment area plans showing the river network, location of raingauge stations and gauge and. discharge sites, contours, roadway and railway netvork natural “and man made storages, habitations, forests, agricultural and irrigated areas, soils etc. v)_ Cross-sections of the river at bridge site (gauging site), upstrean and downstream of the bridge site: vi) Longitudinal section of the river upstrea and downstrrean of the bridge site. 3.3 Data collectea southeastern, central ani Southcentral railways had observed and collected data for a period of 5 years at 27 fellvay| bridge catchments during 1959-78.
