The entire northern plains are made up of alluvial soils.

These have been deposited by three important Himalayan river systems

the Indus. Ganga and Brahmaputra.

These soils also extend into Rajasthan and Gujarat through a narrow corridor.

These are also found in the eastern coastal plains in the deltas of the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri rivers.

Alluvium is loose, unconsolidated soil or sediment that has been eroded, reshaped by water in some form, and redeposited in a non-marine setting. Alluvium is typically made up of a variety of materials, including fine particles of silt and clay and larger particles of sand and gravel.
