Zayandeh River

The Zayandeh River is a prominent river in Iran that flows through the city of Isfahan. It stretches approximately 400 kilometers and supports agriculture, industry, and local ecosystems along its course. The river’s name means "Life-Giving" in Persian, reflecting its importance to the region’s livelihood. In recent decades, the river has faced challenges like drought, dam construction, and water management issues, causing its flow to diminish significantly, especially during dry seasons. Efforts are ongoing to restore and preserve the river’s flow, recognizing its vital role in the environment and local communities.
