Being in the western part of the state, it includes a part of the Thar Desert.
Jaisalmer is to the north of this district while Jalore is in its south. Pali and Jodhpur form its eastern border and it shares a border with Pakistan in the west. Partially being a desert, this district has a large variation in temperature.
The temperature in summer can rise up to 51 °C and falls to 0 °C in winter.
Luni is the longest river in Barmer district.
Barmer Hill Formation is a Palaeocene lacustrine deposit occurring in the Barmer Basin of northwestern India.

Angara land?
Angaraland Name given by the Austrian geologist Eduard Suess (1831–1914) to a small shield in north-central Siberia, where Precambrian rocks are exposed, and which was considered to be the nucleus for subsequently developed structural features in Asia. This land is considered to be the reason for developing structural attributes in Asian countries.

Mithi River
The Mithi River is a river on Salsette Island, the island of the city of Mumbai.
It is a confluence of tail-water discharges of the Powai and Vihar lakes.
The river is seasonal and rises during the monsoons. The overflowing lakes also contribute to the river flow, which is stopped by a dam at other times.

Contour bunding
Contour bunding or contour farming or Contour ploughing is the farming practice of plowing and/or planting across a slope following its elevation contour lines.
These contour lines create a water break which reduces the formation of rills and gullies during times of heavy precipitation, allowing more time for the water to settle into the soil.
Soil erosion prevention practices such as this can drastically decrease negative effects associated with soil erosion such as reduced crop productivity, worsened water quality, lower effective reservoir water levels, flooding, and habitat destruction.
Contour farming is considered an active form of sustainable agriculture.
