Geography


Aurangabad District is located mainly in the Godavari River Basin and partly in the Tapi River Basin. The district is located between 19 and 20 degrees north longitude, and 74 and 76 degrees east latitude.



Geology



Geologically the whole area is covered by the Deccan Trap lava flows of upper Cretaceous to lower Eocene age. The basaltic lava flows belonging to the Deccan Trap are the only major geological formation. The traps are overlain by thin alluvial deposits along the major rivers. The lava flows are horizontal and each flow has two distinct units. The upper layers consist of vesicular and amygdule zeolitic basalt, while the bottom layer consists of massive basalt.[1]



Mountains


  • Antur –

827 m



  • Satonda – 552 m

  • Abbasgad – 671 m and Ajintha 578 m; average height of southern portion is 600–670 m



Rivers


The major rivers in Aurangabad district are the Godavari, Purna, Shivana, Maniyad, Sukhana, Kham, and the famous Shahbaz river.


The Narangi rises on the southern slopes of the water divide to the south of the Maniyad river, a little above Naral village, and flows past Vaijapur. Below the latter it is joined by the Deo nala, flowing from Nasik district. It has a fairly long south-southwesterly course before its point of entry into the Godavari is carried a little down the latter. It is joined by the Chor nala from the west and Kurla nala from the east. Actually the Narangi continues the trend of the Kurla river after the latter's confluence.
