The Khersan River ( Persian: خرسان) is a 180km long tributary of the Karun River in Iran (the river with the largest flows in Iran), flowing into an arm of the reservoir formed by the Karun-3 Dam. The Khersan-3 Dam is under construction, proposed to be the most upstream of a cascade of three dams. [1]
The region is mountainous, part of the Zagros Mountains. The river lies partly in Lordegan County ( Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province), Semirom County ( Isfahan Province), Boyer-Ahmad County and Dana County ( Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province).
As the site of a major dam, the area is a common research area, for example in terms of geology, [2] archaeological value, [3] and management conditions under climate change [4]
