Hamoon Jazmourian Basin is a Endorheic basin of Iran.[1] In the classification of basins in Iran, it is considered a sub-basin and is a subset of the Central Plateau Basin. The area of this basin is 69,390 square kilometers[2] and the rivers and canals of this basin enter Hamoon Jazmourian Lake.[3]

Geography

edit

Hamoon Jazmourian Basin is located in the provinces of Sistan and Baluchestan and Kerman. Its main rivers are Bampur[4] and Halilrud.[5] Geological research has shown that the basin has been blocked recently and in the past, its rivers have flowed into the Oman Sea.[6]

The fold of the earth has caused a hole in the basin and the water of the lake penetrates the ground due to the presence of sandy bedrock and rubble.[7] The main heights of this basin consist of the Jabal Barez Mountains and Shah Mountain in the north and Bashagerd Mountain in the south. Jazmourian Basin has a desert climate, and its rainfall system is Mediterranean with predominant winter rainfall. Due to the lack of vegetation, rainfall in this basin leads to floods and severe soil erosion.[8][9]
