The Zayandehroud, which means ‘life-giving river’, is the largest river in central Iran and has traditionally been a major source of water for the country

The Zayandehroud Basin covers 41,500km2 in central Iran and includes three main rivers: Zayandehroud River, Pelasjan River and Samandegan River

As the Zayandehroud River has dried up, a 5,000-year-old civilization is on the verge of disappearing. The situation requires urgent action by every citizen in the basin as well as neighbouring basins.
