Seasonal rivers like Korawadi, Khari Fulra & Moti and the few smaller nallahs are important water courses that flow through the combined lease areas of the three mining projects. As the area receives only scanty rainfall and as the infiltration capacity of the exposed formation is low, water potential of the phreatic zone is fairly limited. The surface formations of the area are composed of shales, clays and clayey limestones. These strata are poorly permeable to impermeable and hence retard direct downward percolation of water.

Various small ponds are also found scattered in the area to collect rain water for preserving the drinking water for the whole year.
