COMMUNICATION TO THE BLOCK: 4.0 The communication to the Block KG-ONN-2004/1 is available through air, water, rail & road as given below and shown in Figure-3:

1. Nearest Airport : Vizag : 100 Km Rajahmundry : 60 Km

2. Nearest Sea Port Kakinada : 15 Km

3. Nearest Railway Junction

Samalkot : 30 Km Kakinada : 15 Km

4. National Highway: : NH-5 (Besides the above, the Block has a good network of State & District Roads and a number of small townships as shown in Figure-2)

Figure-2: The location of the Block KG-ONN-2004/1 in KG basin

with the available communication network. 5.0 In general, the entire block KG-ONN-2004/1 is thickly populated with villages and towns. About 20% of the area is covered by the river Godavari and about 30% of the area hosts coastal swamps & forests. Out of the 511 SqKm in East Godavari district of AP, 176.34 Sqkm covers parts of the Reserve forest area in the region. The 38 SqKm in the district of Yanam, Puducherry (UT) is thickly populated township. The entire Block has alluvial covers and a considerable portion of the non-forest part of the Block is covered with paddy fields, Mangroves, coconut grooves, cash crops and fish / prawn ponds etc. The surface logistics (due to major rivers, wildlife sanctuary, Reserve Forest etc.) in the Block is shown in Figure-3.

Figure-3: The Major Surface Logistics of the Block KG-ONN-2004/1 n

KG basin.

LOGISTICS OF THE BLOCK KG-ONN-2004/1:

6.0 The Block, at the coastal part of the KG basin, shares the major geomorphologic units of the KG basin like (i) Upland plains, (ii) Coastal plains and (iii) Recent flood and delta plains. The western upland plains present a topographic relief varying between 20 m and 200 m. The general gradient of the basin is towards east and southeast. The eastern

Wildlife Sanctuary

Reserve Forest

Reserve Forest

coastal plain with a maximum width of 50 km includes landforms mainly of marine origin. The marine sediments rest in general on scoured surfaces and form bars, barrier islands and tidal flats further seaward. Linear ridges of sand bars are present parallel to the shoreline. The rivers are braided in the upper flood plain and meandering in the lower flood plain. The Godavari delta, where the Block lies, is lobate and partially effected by wave action. The Godavari river branches into three main distributaries in the lower delta plain and the sands are distributed by wave action into sand bars, parallel to the coast. The shifting of the river course during the growth of the delta is indicated by the presence of abandoned channels. The shelf is narrow near the river mouths and widens in the bay areas. 7.0 As discussed above, the entire Block KG-ONN-2004/1 (549 Sqkm) is fraught with innumerable surface challenges due to extreme difficult logistics. Nearly 30% of the Block is wildlife sanctuary (121 Sqkm) & inaccessible Reserve Forest (55 Sqkm), about 20-30% of the area is drained by river Godavari & its tributaries. The Block also encumbers coastal transition zones with palm groves, inaccessible coastal forests, thorny bushes, a large number of tidal creeks, salt zones etc. The coastal zones are mostly unapproachable through land. The sketch showing the quantitative (approx.) demarcation of various topographical features in the Block KG-ONN-2004/1 is given in Figure-4. A part of the Block is also occupied by major industries like that of RIL’s near Gadimoga & a number of private salt zones etc.
