Geography and climate

Jallah Jeem is located near the city of Multan. The area around the city is a flat, alluvial plain. The canals which cut across the town provide irrigation. The Indus Water Treaty sold the water in the Sutlej river to India. The reduced water flow in the river had a pronounced effect on the flora and fauna of the area. The Jallah and Mailsi Siphon was built to control the water flow in the Sidhnai Link Canal and Sutlej river under the treaty. Jallah Jeem has an arid climate with hot summers and mild winters. It has some of the most extreme weather in the country. The highest recorded temperature is 54 °C (129 °F), and the lowest recorded temperature is −1 °C (30.2 °F).
