It is the largest river that discharges intoLake Urmia . It arises aboveSarab from the slopes ofMount Bozgush and Mount Sabalan. Its tributary, the sweet water Komur River (Mehran River), joins the Aji inTabriz .The Iranian government has under development a program to alter the watercourse of the Aji from the alkali lands to make its water usable for agriculture.
