3.2 Climate

Project stretch is located on the Indo-Gangetic alluvial plains. Climate corresponds to

semi-arid with high variation between summer and winter temperatures. Average annual
rainfall is in a range of 20 – 40 cm.
Summer temperatures can be as high as 47°C, and winter temperatures as low as 0°C. The
weather is generally dry, but is very humid from mid-May to the end of August. Rainfall is
primarily from the south-west due to monsoon weather, and is concentrated in the period
July to mid-September.

3.3 Topography, Geography and General geology

The project site is part of Indo-Gangetic Plain. It is the world's most extensive tract of
uninterrupted alluvium. These deep, river-deposited sediments give rise to fertile soils. The
Indo-Gangetic Plain, with an area of about 270,000 square miles (700,000 square kilometers),
varies in width by several hundred miles. These deep, river-deposited sediments give rise to
fertile soils. In addition, they are rich in groundwater for well irrigation. The flat terrain also
makes the area ideal for canal irrigation.
