KARIND (1)—
A river of Kirmanshah, which rises close to the Gates of Zagros, a few
miles west of the town of Karind, and has a tortuous course of nearly 100
miles in a south-east direction. Its principal source is, however, immediately
above the town in large clean pool of fresh water full of springs, with a
sandy bed, in which the sand is continually being displaced by water push
ing it up. It then flows through gardens above the town where numerous
other springs increase its volume and down through the town on to the
plain whose south-east border it skirts, until, in the latter part of its course,
it forces its way through the Zagros by a tremendous gorge into the plain
of Zangavar. Thence it takes the name of Ab-i-Shirvan as it passes in a
south-south-east direction through the valley of Rudbar, being increased
by the Zangavar, Ab-i-Shlrvan, and two other streams, all of which come
from the west.
It flows south-west and joins the Kara Su and Karkheh in Zangavar ; the
united stream is called the Karkheh.— (Rawlinson—St. John — Vaughan.)
