Seymareh River

The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Seymareh is a river in southwestern Iran formed by the confluence of the Gharehsoo and Ghamasiab rivers in an area around southwest Kermanshah. Seymareh converges with Kashkan just before the historical Gavmishan Bridge near Darreh Shahr to create Karkheh River, an important river in Iran. The change of names from Seymareh to Karkheh is sometimes also considered further downstream (at the mouth of Zal river at the border of the Khuzestan province). The Seymareh Dam, a 480MW hydroelectric power station is located on the lower course of Seymareh near Cheshmeh Shirin, Darreh Shahr.

Flows through: Iran.
