Lake Urmia is an endorheic salt lake in Iran. The lake is located between the provinces of East Azerbaijan and West Azerbaijan in Iran, and west of the southern portion of the Caspian Sea. At its greatest extent, it is the largest lake in the Middle East and Caucasus. It’s the sixth-largest saltwater lake on Earth, with a surface area of approximately 6,000 km2 (2,300 sq mi), a length of 140 km (87 mi), a width of 70 km (43 mi), and a maximum depth of 20 m (66 ft).
The Qom River or Qom Roud is a large river in Iran that receives its water from the Zagros Mountains and mounds into the Namak Lake. The Qom River flows through the city of Qom, and together with the Qareh Su it gains a length of approximately 400 km (250 mi). The water level fluctuates greatly, between 312 m³/s and only 4 m³/s. This is partially the effect of the use of the Qom water for irrigation.
The Caspian Sea is the world's largest inland body of water, often described as the world's largest lake and sometimes referred to as a full-fledged sea.
