from the Kuh Gundl range of the Shahand mountain to the Urumieh lake.
The plain is fertile but somewhat scantily watered, the small str ams flowing
from Shahand being almost entirely consumed in the irrigation of vineyaids
and orchards at the expense of the corn cultivation. The large demand
for dried fruits for exports has made the village rs of the district dependent
on external supplies of grain. Less than a month’s supply per family would
be found in the villages at any time of the year, and in summer much less.
