Sarysu
Top 10 in Top 10 Longest Rivers In Kazakhstan
The Sarysu is a river in Kazakhstan that flows through the Karaganda and Kyzylorda regions. It has a drainage basin of 81,600 square kilometers and is 671 kilometers (417 miles) long (31,500 sq mi). It is the 10th longest river among the longest rivers in Kazakhstan. It rises above Atasu and flows westward to Kzyl-Dzhar, then south-westward past Birlestik and Zhanabas before ending at a series of minor lakes (often dry).
It was once a tributary of the Syr Darya, and it may still contribute some subterranean flow, although the surface flow vanishes more than 100 kilometers downstream of the Syr Darya. In Turkic languages, the term sary su refers to golden water.
Length: 671 kilometers (417 miles)
