Gahar Lake is a lake found in the highlands of Iran, and is located in the southeast of Dorud [1] among Oshtarankooh in Lorestan province protected zone at the height of 2400 meters above the sea level.[2] The lake is known as the jewel of Oshtarankooh and due to the lack of roads and lower use of cars and automobiles, it is basically free from being damaged and polluted by humans. About 70,000 tourists visit the area annually.[3]
Ownership
During the past several years, tensions over the ownership of the lake has been raised by the cities around it, which a lawsuit has been sent by the Dorud city's governor and municipality to the Ministry of Interior. In response to the lawsuit, the Ministry of Interior sent a letter with a map and geographical location of Gahar Lake to the neighboring governorates and municipalities of Dorud, reminding them that the lake is completely located in the territory of Dorud city, and it belongs to the city.
Gahar consists of two parts. It includes upper Gahar (the small one), and the lower Gahar (the big one) lakes. The upper Gahar is about 1700 meters long, 400 to 800 meters wide, and 4 to 28 meters deep.[4][5]
Precipitation
Annual rainfall in Gohar region is about 933 mm, which is mostly snowfall. During the snowy years, the surface of the lake freezes.
History
Most Europeans and tourists know this lake as Iran Lake, which is the result of the introduction of an English woman named Isabella Lucy Bishop, who in 1890 was able to explore the area for 3 months and walk a thousand kilometers, but according to documents historically, the first person to discover Lake Gahar was an Austrian geologist named A-Rudler, who in 1888 made history as the discoverer of Lake Gahar.[citation needed]
