Ecology in Isfahan

The ecological environment of Isfahan, Iran, reflects many interrelated factors, such as wildlife, climate, topography, irrigation, farming, and the human population.

Gavkhouni, an ancient marsh with highly saline water and uniquely adapted wildlife, is located in the eastern part of the city.

[2] The city relies on wells and the Zayanderud dam as its main sources of potable water.

The Isfahan compost fertilizer factory recycles 650 tons of waste each day and ranks first in the country.
