Question

Why is the Rajasthan plain an area of inland drainage?

Answer 1

The Rajasthan Plain is also known as the Great Indian Desert. It is the western part of the Indian mainland. Since this region lacks moisture and humidity and witnesses high temperature, there is lack of rainfall. The rivers here are rain-fed. Also, since Rajasthan is very far from the Arabian Sea, the rivers in this region cannot reach the sea. As a result, they get drained in the land itself. This is called inland drainage.
