Located in South-Western Timiş County (45°39' Northern latitude and 21°10' Eastern longitude), on the European route E 70, Şag, the seat of the commune by the same name, is 14 km from the city of Timişoara and 3 km from Parţa, a locality that used to be part of the commune until 2004, when it became itself a commune. The Commune of Şag covers 8,664 ha, of which 8,419 ha is agricultural land. The micro-relief of the field is an alternation of negative and positive forms of which negative forms share the most. The latter are represented by a set of micro-depressions (closed or open) that are elongated (ex abandoned meanders of the rivers Bega and Timiş and of their tributaries) and, most often by smaller depressions of different shapes and size. Due to its geographical location, the territory is part of the field climate at the border between the western sub-type with ocean influences and the Banat sub-type, with Mediterranean influences; mean multi-annual temperature is 10.9°C for the interval 1943-2004 (Meteorological Station of Timişoara); mean multi-annual precipitations is 585.8 mm for the interval 1871-1975 (Meteorological Station of Răuţi), with 631.0 mm for the interval 1871-1975 and 591.9 mm for the interval 1955-2004 (Meteorological Station of Timişoara), which points to a process of aridity.
