monsoon season particularly in the lower part (Kadam and Sen 2012; Bandyopadhyay
et al. 2016).
In the present study area, newer alluvium depositions are found near the bank of
Ajay and Bhagirathi Rivers (Peterson 1910) (Table 13.1). Older alluvium deposition, laterite, reddish soil with laterite and limonite concretion, quartz debris, gravel,
laterite debris with pieces of gritty, ferruginous sandstone and shale are occasionally
found in the northern and the southern part of the Ketugram-I C.D. block
(Figure 13.2a).
