In the vast sandy north-western plain extending over the districts of
Jaisalmer, Barmer, Jalor, Sirohi, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Ganganagar,
Jhunjhunu, Sikar, Pali, and Nagaur, soils are predominantly saline or
alkaline. Water is scarce but is found at a depth of 30 to 61 m. The
soil and sand are calcareous (chalky). Nitrates in the soil increase its
fertility, and, as has been shown in the area of the indira Gandhi
(formerly Rajasthan) Canal, cultivation is often possible where adequate
water supplies are made available. The soils in the Ajmer district in
central Rajasthan are sandy; clay content varies between 3 and 9 per
cent. in the Jaipur and Alwar districts in the east, soils vary from
sandy loam to loamy sand. in the Kota, Bundi, and Jhalawar tract, they
are in general black and deep and are well drained. in Udaipur,
Chittaurgarh, Dungarpur, Banswara, and Bhilwara districts, eastern areas
have mixed red and black and western areas red to yellow soils. 
The Aravali outlines Rajasthan's most important division. The Chambal
River, which is the only large and perennial river in the State,
originates from its drainage to the east of this range and flows
northeast. Its principal tributary, the Banas, rises in the Aravali near
Kumbhalgarh and collects all the drainage of the Mewar plateau. Further
north, the Banganga, after rising near Jaipur, flows east-wards before
disappearing. The Luni is the only significant river west of the
Aravali. It rises in the Pushkar valley of Ajmer and flows 320 km
west-southwest into the Rann of Kachchh. Northeast of the Luni basin, in
the Shekhawati tract, is an area of internal drainage characterized by
salt lakes, the largest of which is Sambhar Salt Lake. Rajasthan is a
northwesterly state of India. It is bound on the west and northwest by
Pakistan, on the north and northeast by the States of Punjab, Haryana,
and Uttar Pradesh, on the east and southeast by the States of Uttar
Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, and on the southwest by the State of
Gujarat. The Tropic of Cancer passes through its southern tip in the
Banswara district.
