Protest rally of Isfahan residents for the permanent restoration of this river.

A group of Isfahan residents gathered once again along the banks of the Zayandeh Rud River, renewing their call for the river’s permanent restoration.

The peaceful gathering reflects ongoing public frustration over the continued mismanagement and diversion of water resources, which has left the once-flowing river dry for much of the year. Citizens emphasized the ecological, cultural, and economic importance of reviving Zayandeh Rud, a lifeline for the region that has long been suffering from environmental neglect and policy failures.
