slopes, sometimes abrupt, which lead down to the river valleys. The highest
recorded elevation is 167m. above sea level at Mohammadabad and the lowest

only marked variation of level is between the two divisions, the upland or

away from the upland by the erosive action of the rivers.

The climate of the district is characterised by a hot dry summer and a pleasant
