Hāmūn-e Puzak

Hamun-e Puzak is one of the shallow lakes and marshes of the Sistan basin. The Khash River brings spring meltwater from the Afghan highlands, while channels of the Helmand also feed the wetlands. Reed beds fringe the open water, providing shelter for fish and birds. The lake expands and contracts with the rivers, a fertile wetland amid the surrounding desert when water is abundant.
