With dry mountainsit islonged to the
sarbaz river in Baluchestan. This area is the habitat of unique Iranian crocodile, which lives in shallow parts of Bahu Kalar River.
This is the habitat for the Iranian mugger crocodile or (gando) a rare species that survives in this and three other nearby river basins in the extreme southeastern area of
Iran, above the port of
Chabahar.
Special eco-system conditions of this river have provided suitable living conditions for a special fish called mud-eater with the scientific name of "Perio Phthalinuse”, which is able to live in muddy and shallow waters of the river.
Other animals of this area are squirrel, bustard, weasel. Costal line of Oman sea, which forms the southern border of this area is the winter quarter for aquatic birds, and it is also a suitable place for green turtles to lay eggs.
Along the river, this region has fertile land for agricultural purposes, but it is dependent on seasonal rains and vulnerable to drought.
Sustained droughts dry up the river completely, and only the moist soil and small pools left by seasonal
...see more rains keep the nature alive. In the 1990s, the Iranian government projected a dam in the northern end of Bahu (Pishin) to reserve water for agricultural and human consumption, lands which close to the dam are cultivated with a variety of agricultural products, specially watermelons that are being exported to internal and external markets.
Southern end of Bahu district is the gwatar harbor, which is located in a strategic location, and for several years was under the control of colonialists, especially Portuguese.
Nowadays remains of colonial castles are in place. Aquaculture is the main economic potential of south Bahu, in that saltwater shrimp can be cultivated two times in one season.
