In 1990, there was an ancient structure with rare plants and animals to the west, and irrigated farmlands. However, with the construction of a reservoir, those features were explored beneath a large lake which became a lake in 2010.
Looking at the map in more detail, the town looked completely different. The river was interrupted and electricity was constructed. A hotel was constructed towards the right of the lake, and the village was relocated towards the extreme south of the river bank.
