The district experiences an arid to semi arid type of climatic conditions and characterized by undulated topography, moderately high degraded hills and sand dunes. Frequent monsoon failure resulting in widespread drought implies a deepening of the already severe water crisis. Fluoride contaminated groundwater and rainwater are the major source of water in district.
