Mithankot (Urdu: مِٹهن كوٹ), (Mithancot, Mithankote, Kotmithan, Kotmithan Sharif, Kot Mithan) is a city in southern Punjab, Pakistan. Mithankot is located on the right (west) bank of the Indus River, only a short distance downstream from its junction with Panjnad River.
Climate and economy
The climate is arid and desert-like, the average annual rain fall being only 4 inches (100mm). It is extremely hot in summer and quite cold in winter. The cultivation of crops such as wheat, sugarcane, cotton and rice is enabled through the irrigation of canals from the Indus.[1]
