The Haraz River (Persian: رودخانه هراز) is a notable river flowing through the Mazandaran Province of northern Iran. It flows northwards, from the Alborz mountain range into the Caspian Sea. After flowing along the Haraz Road and Valley for about 100 km, the Haraz river meanders in the midst of Amol, from where it reaches the Caspian Sea. The Haraz begins in Mount Damavand and flows northward and pours into Caspian Sea in the area between the two northern cities of Mahmoudabad and Fereydunkenar.[1] The Haraz is currently contaminated due to discharge of effluent from various industrial plants.[2]
