The Jhang Branch Canal is a canal which originates from the Lower Chenab Canal.The 51-kilometer long canal mainly supplies water for irrigation of agriculture land in Jhang district of Punjab province in Pakistan.[1]
In 1913-14, the Jhang Branch Canal was waterproofed to prevent flooding of the surrounding low-lying land.[2]
