Why is the flow of the Luni River considered an example of desert drainage?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It flows through an arid region and ends in the Rann of Kutch
The Luni flows through the arid region of western Rajasthan and ends in the inland, saline area of the Rann of Kutch. It generally does not reach the sea to form a delta or an estuary, so it is an example of desert/inland drainage. The large sea estuary stated in option D is not a feature of the Luni. Exam tip: remember Luni with western Rajasthan, the Thar Desert, and the Rann of Kutch.
