	Shushtar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The name itself, Shushtar, is connected with the name of another ancient city, Susa (or Shush, in Persian pronunciation), and means "greater (or better) than Shush." During the Sassanian era, it was an island city on the Karun river and selected to become the winter capital.
		This complex system of irrigation degenerated during the 19th century, which consequently led to Shushtar's decline as an important agricultural centre until revitilisation efforts began under the reign of the last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, in 1973.
		In 1973, the Pahlavi government initiated efforts to revitilise the economy of Shushtar, which had stagnated since the deterioration of the waterways in the 19th century, and to further develop agricultural resources in the province.
