Late Quaternary drainage reorganization assisted by surface faulting: The example of the Katrol Hill Fault zone, Kachchh, western India

Abstract: Drainage reorganization on restricted temporal and spatial scales is poorly‐documented. We attempt to decode the relatively complicated mechanism of drainage realignment involving two small rivers that show structurally controlled, highly anomalous channel networks. We provide geomorphic and shallow subsurface evidence using ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) for the presence of a buried paleo‐valley flowing northward through the wind gap and surface faulting along the range bounding Katrol Hill Fault (KHF) which … Show more

“…The KRB is a ∼W-striking pericratonic palaeo-rift graben that is currently undergoing active co-seismic deformation, as evidenced by large magnitude earthquakes, including the 1819 Allahbund earthquake (M w 7.8) and the 2001 Bhuj earthquake (M w 7.7) (Chung and Gao, 1995;Padmalal et al, 2019). The KRB was formed by rifting under an extensional stress regime in the Early Jurassic, followed by a basin inversion phase under a compressional stress regime during the Cenozoic (Biswas, 1993;Maurya et al, 2017aMaurya et al, , 2021aShaikh et al, 2020). This resulted in the formation of the Island Belt Fault (IBF), South Wagad Fault (SWF), Gedi Fault (GF), KMF and Katrol Hill Fault (KHF) (Biswas, 1993;Maurya et al, 2017aMaurya et al, , 2017bMaurya et al, , 2021aMaurya et al, , 2021bTiwari et al, 2021) (Fig.…”

“…In Kachchh peninsula, one of the most popular topics of research has been the geomorphology and tectonics of the Katrol Hill region (Maurya et al, 2003;Patidar et al, 2007Patidar et al, , 2008. Maurya et al (2021) have documented a buried paleo-valley along the range bounding the Katrol Hill Fault (KHF) that follows the wind gap and previously mapped surface faults. The authors integrated geomorphic and ground penetrating radar (GPR)based shallow sub-stratigraphic data to map the buried valley and to understand the drainage reorganization in this region.…”
