Shahr Sabz

Shahr Sabz lies near Dasht-e Naomid, an arid plain in western Afghanistan. East of the desert runs the Adraskan River, called the Harut farther south. Near Anar Dara it receives the waters of the Anar Dara River before continuing toward the Hamun wetlands of Sistan. Floods can spread across parts of the plain, leaving shallow depressions among the dry ground.
