Explanation:

The type of soil and vegetation vary with the availability of water. Interestingly some evidence testifies that Rajasthan was once filled with lush green vegetation and had numerous streamlets running through the land. But those days have elapsed and presently a major portion of Rajasthan is desiccated. This is due to the continuous soil erosion and the recurrence of droughts. The sandy soil has very less capacity to store water. The types of soil available in Rajasthan are mostly sandy, saline, alkaline and chalky (calcareous). Clay, loamy, black lava soil and nitrogenous soils are also found.
