Karoon (river) (English spelling) Rūd‐e Kārūn

Japanese: カールーン[川](英語表記)Rūd‐e Kārūn
Karoon (river) (English spelling) Rūd‐e Kārūn
A river in southwestern Iran. It originates from Mount Zard-e-Kuh in the central Zagros Mountains, meanders through the plains of Khuzestan, and flows into the Persian Gulf after joining the Shatt al-Arab at Khorramshahr. It is 850 km long. It is the only navigable river in Iran, and can be navigated upstream from Ahwaz to Bande Khir. In 1888, the British firm of Lynch & Co. acquired navigation rights, and steamships began to operate directly from the Persian Gulf. In the 20th century, the importance of the river as a transportation route increased with the start of oil drilling at Masjed-e Suleyman and other places, and the port of Khorramshahr was built.

イラン南西部を流れる川。ザーグロス山脈中央部のザルデ・クーフ山に源を発し,フージスターンの平原を蛇行して流れながらホラムシャフルでシャット・アルアラブ川に合流しペルシア湾に注ぐ。全長850km。イランで唯一の航行可能な河川で,アフワーズより上流のバンデ・キールまで遡航することができる。1888年,イギリスのリンチ商会が航行権を獲得してから汽船がペルシア湾から直接に運航されるようになり,20世紀に入ってマスジェデ・スレイマーン等で油田の掘削がはじまるとこの川の輸送ルートとしての重要性が高まり,ホラムシャフルの港が建設された。
