Talgar (river)
The Talgar (Kazakh: Талғар) is a river in Almaty Region, Kazakhstan.[1][2] It has a length of 117 km (73 mi) and a drainage basin of 444 km2 (171 sq mi).[3] The Talgar flows by the town of Talgar, the administrative center of Talgar District.[4] CourseThe Talgar river originates at the confluence of rivers Left Talgar and Right Talgar, which have their sources in a glacier area of the Trans-Ili Alatau range, part of the Tian Shan. It flows northwards through a valley with steep slopes. About midway down its course, it descends into a floodplain. Since 1970 the river has had its mouth on the southern lakeshore of the Kapchagay Reservoir.[4][1] The Talgar is seasonally prone to floods. A string of small dams has been built in its last stretch, along with a network of irrigation channels.[4] See alsoReferences
