Paroom has very pleasant summer months and it is noted for its mild summers in contrast to the hot summers in other parts of the Makran division. Most of Parom's inhabitants depend on farming, the main crop being Muzati dates. The people's main income comes from farming and border business.The historical villages in Paroom are Diz (meaning 'fort': the main fort of Parom was once situated here), Dasht Shahbaz, Jayeen, Legoork, Sengozai Bazar, Gwash and Sham-e-sar, Kaleri and Reesh Peesh. There were two archaeological sites called dambs which resembled neolithic sites but were bulldozed in 2008 to use the area for farming. There are several other small dambs dotting along the Dambani Kaur. The Dambani Kaur is a dry river which used to fill the Parom-e- Kup (Lake Parom) when it rains. (en)
