On Sunday, June 8, water was released from Dorudzan dam into Bakhtegan wetland in southern Fars province to help revive the drying valuable reservoir.

Bakhtegan is a Salt Lake with a surface area of 3,500 square kilometers, once Iran's second-largest lake. Several dams on the river had significantly reduced water flow into the lake, increasing its salinity and endangering the lake's populations of flamingos and other migratory birds.
