By nature, it is saline. Owing to the presence of dry climate and high temperature, evaporation occurs at a faster rate. This soil lacks humus and moisture. ... Due to high calcium content, the bottom horizon of this soil is occupied by 'Kankar' which restricts the infiltration of water through the soil.

Becoz in some areas the salt content is very high and common salt is obtained by evaporating the water .
Due to the dry climate , high temperature , evaporation is faster and the soil lacks humus and moisture .
The lower horizons of the soil are occupied by kankar because of the increasing calcium content downwards.
