Karun River, Iran
The Karun (Also spelled Karoon or Karoun) (Persian: کارون, IPA: [kɒːˈɾuːn]) is the Iranian river with the highest water flow, and the country's only navigable river. It is 950 km long.
Name: In early classical times, the Karun was known as the Pasitigris. The modern medieval and modern name, Karun, is a corruption of the name Kuhrang, which is still maintained by one of the two primary tributaries of the Karun. J. G. Lorimer also records in his Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf, Oman and Central Arabia that it was known by the name "Dujail," which could be translated "Little Tigris," to medieval Arab and Persian geographers.
