description Hamun-e Jaz Murian Overview
Hamun-e Jaz Murian is an inland, endorheic basin in southeastern Iran, spanning parts of Kerman and Sistan and Baluchestan provinces. Its lowest central area contains a playa or seasonal lake that can fill after wetter periods and remain dry for much of the year. Water entering the depression is lost mainly through evaporation, and the basin is also studied as a source of dust when its surface is dry.
