A major tributary of the Zangibar is the Barun River which is dammed at 39°11′17″N 44°28′55″E some 12 miles (19 km) above Maku, forming the Maku-Barun reservoir. The dam is rammed earth and riprap with a clay lining 78 metres (256 ft) high, impounding some 135,000,000 cubic metres (109,000 acre⋅ft) of water.^[1]

Beyond Maku, the Zangibar flows past the villages of Tappeh Bashi-ye Namaz, and Moradluy-e Olya before entering the Araxes as a right tributary.
