Alluvial soil is rich in nutrients and may contain heavy metals. These soils are formed when streams and rivers slow their velocity. The suspended soil particles are too heavy for the decreasing current to carry and are deposited on the riverbed. The finest particles are deposited at the mouth of the river, forming a delta. Alluvial soils vary in mineral content and specific soil characteristics depending on the region and geologic makeup of the arearime
They are immature and have weak profilesdue to their recent origin.
Most of the soil is Sandy and clayey soils are not uncommon.
Pebbly and gravelly soils are rare.
Kankar (calcareous concretions) beds are present in some regions along the river terraces.
The soil is porous because of its loamy (equal proportion of sand and clay) nature.
