Geography
Livezile is located in the southwestern part of Timiș County, along the border with Serbia, in the Timiș Plain. The Timiș Plain is a recent plain, mostly a floodplain, drained by Bega and Timiș rivers with their tributaries and arms. Until its draining and damming, the plain was almost entirely a swamp.
It borders Banloc to the east and Giera to the west. To the north, the commune's border is located on the Lanca Birda, a left tributary of the Timiș River, which separates it from Ghilad. To the south, the commune's border is located on the Bârzava River, of which a stretch of 3.8 km (2.4 mi) marks Romania's border with Serbia. Between these limits, the commune has an area of 55.8 km2 (21.5 mi2).
