the fringe of the Great Indian Thar Desert is nestled
a unique refuge of the most elegant Antelope encountered
in India “The Black buck”. Tal Chapper
sanctuary with almost flat tract and interspersed
shallow low lying areas has open grassland with scattered
Acacia and prosopis trees which give it an appearance
of a typical Savanna. The word “Tal” means
plane land.The
rain water flows through shallow low lying areas
and collect in the small seasonal water ponds. |

The
Geology of the zone is obscured by the wind blown
over-burden. Some small hillocks and exposed rocks
of slate and quartzite are found in the western
side of the sanctuary. Area between hillocks and
the sanctuary constitutes the watershed area of
the sanctuary. The whole sanctuary used to be flooded
by water during the heavy rains but with salt mining
going on in the watershed. Hardly any rain water
falling on the hillocks reach the Sanctuary.
