Zayanderud Riverbed Dries Up - Iran

A view shows the dried-up riverbed of Zayanderud with Khaju Bridge overhead in Isfahan, Iran, on December 1, 2025. Zayanderud, like many other bodies of water in Iran, has faced droughts and water shortages in recent years. In addition to drought, mismanagement and overuse of water are major factors contributing to the decline of Zayanderud. Photo by Hozi/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
