The district has moderately to gently sloping undulated topography. The Northern part
of the district is occupied by Ajanta and satmala hill ranges.
The 95 % area of the district falls in the Godavari basin. The river Godavari flows along
the Southern boundary from West to East direction. The rivers Dudhana, Gulati, Purna
are the principal tributaries of river Godavari, which flow through the district.
The major part of the district falls in the Purna sub basin. The river Purna flows from
the central part of the district and meets river Godavari in the neighboring district. The
river Khelna, and Girja are other important tributaries of river Purna which flow through
the district.
The southern part of the district falls in Godavari sub basin A very small part of the
district located North East of the district falls in the Tapi basinThe general slope of the
area is towards Southeast.
The average altitude above mean sea level is 534 Mtrs. (A.M.S.L.).
The entire district is occupied by basaltic lava flows of the Deccan traps of upper cretaceous to Eocene age.
The lava flows are piled over one another. The individual flow thickness ranges between 20 to 30 mtrs. The
individual flow has two distinct units. The upper part is vesicular in nature and vesicles are filled with
secondary minerals like zeolite and quartz (e.g.Moss Agate, Zebra Agate and Green Agate) which is often
called as zeolitic trap. The lower part of the lava flow forms the massive basalt, and often called as massive
trap.Alluvial deposits along the major rivers overlie the Deccan traps.
The alluvium consists of clay, silt and sand. The thickness ranges between 10 to 20 mtrs. The alluvium forms
a very fertile land.
The major part of the district forms the moderately dissected basaltic plateau, which has moderate to good
groundwater potential. The northern part forms the highly dissected basaltic plateau; the ground water
potential is expected to be poor.
Good potential pockets for groundwater exploitation are expected along the lineaments. The narrow alluvial
deposits along the major river also forms potential zones for groundwater exploitation.
The area is suitable for groundwater exploitation through dug wells.
The most significant part of the Jalna district is that about 85 % of the geographical area is under agricultural
use. Out of the total 7,61,200 Hectares of the geographical area, 6,51,553 Hectare of land is under
agricultural use.

About 75 % area is under Kharif crops, which about 40 % of land are under Rabbi crops. The Jawar, Wheat,
are the major cereals grown in the district. The area under cotton is also very entensinc. The area under
double crops is just 15 % while area under irrigation is only 7.8% which is far below the state average.
The current irrigation potential in the district is 66,097 hectares, while the area under well irrigation is about
35,000 hectares. The development plan has envisaged irrigation potentials up to 1,18,000 hectares, and even
well irrigation can also be increased at least to a double of the present utilization. Thus it is possible to bring
about 1,83,000 hectares of land under well irrigation with this the area under well irrigation would be 30 % of
the total cultivable land.
Following tables describes the area of agricultural land covered under irrigation and crop production
respectively.
