description Zeravshan River Overview
The Zeravshan River rises in the Zeravshan Range of the Pamir-Alay mountain system in Tajikistan and flows approximately 877 kilometers westward through Uzbekistan. Historically a tributary of the Amu Darya, the river's water is now fully consumed by irrigation networks before reaching that river. Its waters have sustained agriculture in the region for thousands of years, supplying the ancient Silk Road cities of Samarkand and Bukhara, which remain the principal urban centers along its course. The river's name derives from Persian, meaning 'gold-bearing,' reflecting the mineral wealth historically found in the surrounding mountains.
