Iran - Bakhtegan Salt Lake, Fars Province, is the second largest lake in Iran with a size of 350,000 hectares. It is located about 160 km east of Schiraz and 15 km west of the city of Neyriz. The most important inflow is the Kor. Numerous dams on the river Kor have led to a significant decrease in the inflow into the lake. As a result, the salt content of the lake has increased.
