It is situated some 25 kilometres (16 mi) from the city of Jhang near the city of Athara Hazari where the River Jhelum flows into the River Chenab. It was one of the 7 link canals to be built under the Indus Water Plan of Pakistan. Pakistan created this plan after concluding the Indus Water Treaty with India. Trimmu Barrage is used to control water flow into the River Chenab for irrigation and flood control.
