The Khash River (or Khash Rud River) is a river in Afghanistan.[2] Khash-rud rises in or near the southern slopes of (Black Mountain), which forms the southern wall of the valley of Heart, and flows south, in flood reaching the Lake of Seistan, but generally exhausted in irrigation. It is named from Khash, a village in the Seistan plain.[3]
