Arid soils range from red to brown in colour.

They have a sandy texture.

They are saline in nature. In areas where salt content in high, common salt is obtained by evaporation.

Arid soil lacks humus and is moisture deficient.

The lower horizons of the soil have kankars because of high calcium content which restrict infiltration of water.

Proper irrigation helps make these soils cultivable, e.g., Western Rajasthan.
