Land
It is chiefly alluvial plain. The lands are greatly suffered after construction of barrage at Sukkur and being rapidly converted into salt lands (Kalar). The climate is hot, dry and enervating.
Most of the land is under the control of Qazi family in the city of Shikarpur and Muqdum family of Jaffri Tribe in Garhi Yasin where as other tribes have their lands in the villages across.
