Barandouz River

The Baranduz River is located in north west Iran which flows into the endorheic saltwater Lake Urmia.^[1] It is named after the village of Baran Duz.

After the building of the Baranduz Dam, the flow of the river was greatly reduced, contributing to the severe desiccation of Lake Urmia.^[2]
