Zangmar River


The Zangibar is a river in Maku County, West [Azarbaijan Province], Iran. It originates in the Zagros Mountains above Maku, Iran along the Iran–Turkey border, not far from Mount Ararat and flows south and east into the Araxes at the town of Pol Dasht.
A major tributary of the Zangibar is the Barun River which is dammed at some above Maku, forming the Maku-Barun reservoir. The dam is rammed earth and riprap with a clay lining high, impounding some of water.
Beyond Maku, the Zangibar flows past the villages of Tappeh Bashi-ye Namaz, and Moradluy-e Olya before entering the Araxes as a right tributary.
