Zayanderud, one of the most important rivers in Iran, stretches over four hundred km from west to east. The existence of the city of Isfahan and the surrounding area depends on this river. In addition to its function in the city, the river has a fundamental role in the agriculture and a large section of industry in the province of Isfahan. But its most important aspect is the part it plays in lifting the spirits of the people of Isfahan. When they feel tired or depressed, they take refuge in the tranquillity of the riverside and enjoy the beauty of its famous historical bridges which are one of the main attractions of the city.
The citizens of Isfahan had been denied this pleasure for many months. Following the reduction of rainfall in the area in recent years, most probably as a result of global warming and climate change, the Zayanderud dried up completely. This greatly damaged agriculture, including the orchards and rice fields around Isfahan, as well as the fish and wildlife dependant on the river. Predictably it also had a tremendously dispiriting effect on people’s morale.

High speed | Low speed
Now, much to the delight of the residents of Isfahan, the Zayanderud has started to flow again, and once more the familiar sights and sounds associated with the life of the river can be seen and heard. In this multimedia report, we revisit this magnificent river and hear some of the residents describing the significance of the river in their lives.

You can access the applications either by buttons or by the stylus supplied with it. A major aspect that disappoints you in Mio P560 PDA Navigation Device is the absence of a built-in phone. That means, you will have to carry a separate mobile phone for calls. Besides, there is no camera as well.

At its plus points, it has an impressive memory of 4GB with an SD card slot of high capacity. There is bluetooth connectivity, aiding in local transfers. P560 PDA navigation is compatible with most Windows Mobile 6 navigation software. The headphone jack integrated into it is 2.5mm and you require an adapter to accommodate a 3.5mm jack.
The battery life of Mio P560 Bluetooth PDA stands for a maximum of six hours, but this time period will be less if you use its Wi-Fi and bluetooth functionality more. Overall, Mio P560 is a PDA with some sensible features, but plainly, it lacks many features that a modern pocket PC has.
