I need soil thickness map (or depth of hard strata below) of Maharashtra state specifically for Sangli & Kolhapur districts. The soil map available from NBSS&LUP Nagpur has data regarding soil types.
Where can I get such a map. In Indian scenario, the data at district level may be avilable but in which dept to ask for? I have checked with
1. Agricultural Dept
2. GSDA
3. DIRD
4. Govt. Soil testing facilities
etc. ANY CLUES?
No NBSS&LUP has map of soil classes only.
Dear @Kulsekaran can u plz inquire with ur peers plz.
If you want depth to bedrock, you'd better go to the area of geology. It is not likely soil departments have this kind of map. You can make a map on your own if you get some point data such as water wells. And please let me know if you succeed.
In the soil map you can have shallow soils ( with weathered saprolite below or hard rock represented by (R)distributed in many part of Maharashtra. You can have a clue about it from the soil map of Maharashtra or Soil series of Maharashtra published by NBSS &LUP. Still not satisfied contact nearby GSI, office /at GSI, Nagpur office to get more information
