7.Presence of Ground Water
Deccan Plateau: – The Solapur district is mainly covered by Deccan Basalt which is hard in nature. But when the basalt get weathered, fractured the possibility of presence of groundwater is more. Groundwater is mainly occurs in fractured and jointed zone. At deep level it occurred in the deep aquifer formation which is confined in nature. Pre-monsoon and post-monsoon ground water level generally found 6 to 10 meters and 1.5 to 3 meters respectively.
8.Chemical Properties of Water
