The Zangmar (Zangibar) (also known as the Ṭłmut River) is a river in Maku County, West Azarbaijan Province, Iran. It originates in the Zagros Mountains above Maku, Iran along the Iran–Turkey border, not far from Mount Ararat and flows south and east into the Araxes at the town of Pol Dasht. A major tributary of the Zangibar is the Barun River which is dammed some 19 km above Maku, forming the Maku-Barun reservoir. The dam is rammed earth and riprap with a clay lining 78 metres high, impounding some 135,000,000 cubic metres of water.
