Majority of Bhal region is dry, saline, and alkaline with large deft on it. The variations in temperature are severe. Floods, droughts, high tide and earthquake – all the natural calamities strike the area frequently. The seawater ingress in many coastal villages has severely afftected soil productivity and salinity content is extremely high in the soil. The soil can no longer absorb fresh water. As a result rains results in water logging causing daily life difficult to go through. Rivers like Sabarmati, Bhogavo, Sukhbhadar, Ghelo and Kalubhar flow through this region before meeting the sea – Gulf of Cambay. The rainfall here is 400 – 500 mm but the geographical condition of the soil can not absorb the water. Most of the water flows away. Due to such unfavorable climate and geographical conditions livelihood system here is quite weak.

Vegetation here is rare, almost nil. Proposis Juliflora and Salvadoara Percisa are the only vegetations growing here. About six decades back, there used to be mangrove vegetation in abundance in coastal areas but frequent grazing by camels from Kutchh has adversely affected the growth of this vegetation. There have been many geographical. Climate changes in this region, high tide ingress has increased, water logging also has increased. Due to depositing silt in the catchments area, the rivers change their course quite often; wide trenches have developed near the sea coast which has spread up to cultivable land.
