[3] Arwal district occupies an area of 638 square kilometres (246 sq mi),[4] comparatively equivalent to Canada's Foley Island.

[5] Arwal is the unique district of Bihar in the sense of quality of water and its greater availability.

Water is available at most of the place at much shallower depths this is the reason why most of the households of arwal used to install handpumps instead of motors and storage.

Excellent transportation, Son river and huge availability of water in Arwal may provide suitable conditions to establishment of industries.

Though most of the area of the district is well irrigated, due to lack of infrastructure and power, farmers are not benefitted.

According to the 2011 census Arwal district has a population of 700,843,[2] roughly equal to the nation of Bhutan[9] or the US state of North Dakota.
