Alwar has an important place in agriculture production in Rajasthan. The total geographical area of the district is 838,000 hectares, which is about 2.5% of the state. In 2010–2011, the net cultivated area was 507,171 hectares, from which about 83 percent of area (451,546 hectares) is irrigated and the remaining 17 percent (82,903 hectares) is unirrigated. The double cropped area is nearly 252,000 hectares, of which 32,230 (12%) is irrigated and the remaining 219,819 (88%) is unirrigated. Thus, the total cropped area of the district is 812,873 hectares.
In Kharif season, bajra, maize, Jowar, kharif pulses, arhar, sesamum, cotton, guar, and more are sown in about 329,088 hectares (42%), and in Rabi season, wheat, barley, gram, mustard, taramira, and rabi pulses are sown in about 452,527 hectares (58%). The main source of irrigation are wells and tube wells. By 26,064 tube wells, about a 192,861-hectare area is being irrigated and by 57,196 wells about 265,169 hectares area is irrigated. By other sources like canals, tanks about a 404 hectare area is irrigated. About 35,470 electric motors and 66,502 diesel pump sets are being used for irrigation purposes.
The normal rainfall for the district is 657.3 mm. The average rainfall in the last ten years in the district is 724 mm. The rainfall distribution in the district is uneven and scattered, which resulted in occasional floods and droughts, which affect the agriculture production, as well as the cropping pattern in Kharif and Rabi season. Thus, the agriculture in the district by and large depends on rainfall distribution. The average rainfall in 2016, up to September, is 217 mm.
