Ushbas
The Ushbas (Kazakh: Үшбас) is a river in southern Kazakhstan.[1][2] It has a length of 71 km (44 mi) and a drainage basin of 571 km2 (220 sq mi).[3][4]
The river flows across Sarysu district of the Zhambyl Region and Sozak District of the Turkistan Region. It has its mouth near Kumkent village.[1][4]
Course
The Ushbas river has its origin in the northern slopes of the Karatau Range. It heads roughly northwestwards down a deep mountain valley with steep sides. In its final stretch it bends and flows roughly northwards, parallel to the Burkittі (Бүркітті), a left tributary of the Shabakty river, to the east. Finally it ends up in the southeastern shore of Kyzylkol lake.[1]
The Ushbas is fed mainly by rain and underground water. In the summer, when the riverbed dries, the river doesn't reach Kyzylkol.[3]
