Chitgar Lake : The only artificial lake in Tehran

Chitgar Lake is the largest artificial lake in Iran, which is located on a very large scale in the west of Tehran at the end of Hemet highway. This lake is a large part of the north of Chitgar Park and one of the most beautiful parks in Tehran, which was created in 1342 AD and is also known as the Persian Gulf Lake. In the construction process of this huge project, which took many years from the conception to its implementation, reputable domestic and foreign companies were used. There are many recreational facilities and shopping centers around this lake, which has made it one of the most popular tourist areas for residents of Tehran and tourists who travel to this city. In 2015, foreign experts visited this artificial lake and mentioned it as one of the top 10 projects in the world in the year. This lake is 130 hectares wide and about 10 meters deep, and its only source of water supply is Lake Ken. There is also a 120-hectare entertainment complex next to it. In addition to attracting tourists, this lake and park play a decisive role in purifying Tehran's polluted air. In addition, it reduces the possibility of seasonal floods and feeds the underground aquifers. The recreational facilities created next to this complex are a very important part of it. These facilities fill the idle time of Tehrani citizens
