Situation


In recent years,[when?] the construction of Taleqan dam and installation of its hydroelectric project on Shahrood (River) (a right-hand tributary of the Sefīd-Rūd) has added new dimensions to the region's touristic attractions and infrastructure development although it is also becoming a serious issue for the environment.[citation needed]


Etymology


Some folk etymology says that the name Taleqan means "separators" in Persian, but Dehkhoda says that: Taleqan root is Talcan from talc because of existence of talc mine there. تالکان ٍTalc in English is a loan word from Arabic talq, from Persian talk "talc". Talc
