Sudden spurt of sub-Surface water oozing at Kalayat village in Jind district of Haryana has been reported in December, 2005. Oozing water has high temperature, high fluoride content but low in TDS, nitrate and total hardness indicative of palaeochannel source. This incidence coupled with the occurrence of a major earthquake in the Hindukush region on 13th December, 2005 indicate source of the oozing water at Kalayat could possibly be from a palaeochannel of lost Saraswati.

Abstract


Sudden spurt of sub-Surface water oozing at Kalayat village in Jind district of Haryana has been reported in December, 2005.
