Mīāndūāb

Miandoab means “between two waters”, a fitting name for the plain between the Zarrineh and Simineh rivers south of Lake Urmia. Both rivers descend from the Zagros and carry water across the alluvial lowland toward the salt lake. Their channels nourish fields and orchards in a broad agricultural district, contrasting with the bare mountain ridges that enclose the basin to the south.
