Bahu District

Nowadays some aspects of this history can be seen in the form of burnt villages, castles, mosques and wheat storages, but as a result of remoteness and lack of government interests no research has been developed to specify its archaeological characteristics.

About 55 years later, on the basis of his information, Aurel Stein visited the site during his journey to Baluchistan in 1932 and proceeded to make a more detailed and systematic survey.

This is the habitat for the Iranian mugger crocodile or (gando)-- a rare species that survives in this and three other nearby river basins in the extreme southeastern area of Iran, above the port of Chabahar.

Sustained droughts dry up the river completely, and only the moist soil and small pools left by seasonal rains keep the nature alive.

Aquaculture is the main economic potential of south Bahu, in that saltwater shrimp can be cultivated two times in one season.
