Gently sloping plain frontiers joining the Rann area. The zone is rilled& gullied by local small seasonal streams. |
Covered with drought
resistant vegetation, more dense in the eastern and southern side, while western fringeis sparser. Grasses grows in the marginal areaof Rannfor a few months in ayear. Irrigatedfarming, Sandstonemining in Dhrangdhara |
Afforestation all
along themargin to check desertification, development of Pisciculture, fodder
&animal husbandary, dry farming. Harvesting of rain water
through bunding. |
