The Thar Desert of Sindh is divided into Nara, Achro, and Thar, all situated in the southern part of Sindh. [3] Historical records indicate that the normal monsoon is around 127.5 mm, but it reached a maximum of 443.9 mm in 2011 due to sudden climatic changes. Water scarcity is prevalent in many areas, leading to limitations in agriculture.
The Dune Free Tract spans across several districts including Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Phalodi, and Pokhran, covering an area of approximately 65 square kilometers.Notably, this region is distinguished by its rocky terrain with exposures of limestone and sandstone rocks belonging to the Jurassic and Eocene formations.

The Boha geoglyphs or Great Indian Desert geoglyph are a group of large geoglyphs made in the soil in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan, India. Several sites were found located around the city of Jaisalmer , marked by geometrical lines resembling geoglyphs.
The distribution coefficient K d is the ratio of the soil's radioactivity (Bq g −1) to that of the soil water (Bq ml −1). If the radioactivity is tightly bonded to by the minerals in the soil then less radioactivity can be absorbed by crops and grass growing in the soil. Cs-137 K d = 1000; Pu-239 K d = 10000 to 100000; Sr-90 K d = 80 to 150 ...
The river flows south-west and enters the Thar Desert before dissipating into the Rann of Kutch, traversing a total of 495 km. In spite of the high salinity, it is a major river in the region and serves as a primary source of irrigation. The Luni is not saline until it reaches Balotra, [3] where high salt content in the soil impacts the river. [1]
