Preliminary
investigations reveal that H.D.I and medium hard rock will be met at the fall
sites at foundation levels of power houses. Hence, the foundation strata is
expected to be sufficiently strong for construction of small hydel stations.
Trial pits have been done at the power house site. Hard disintegrated rocks
are met at about 3 m depth.
