<p>Finetooth: metric conversions</p> <hr /> <div>{{unreferenced|date=March 2010}}<br /> The '''Issyk River''' is a river in [[Kazakhstan]] that crosses the [[Issyk Lake]] (not to be confused with the much greater [[Issyk Kul Lake]] in [[Kyrgyzstan]]) and the town of [[Esik]]. <br /> <br /> One of the largest rivers on the northern slope of the [[Trans-Ili Alatau]], its headwaters come from 32 active glaciers that cover an area of {{convert|43|km2|mi2}}. The largest glaciers are the Zharsai with an exposed length of {{convert|3.8|km|mi}} and an area of {{convert|6.37|km2|mi2}}, the Grigoriev with a length of {{convert|3.6|km|mi}} and an area of {{convert|5.86|km2|mi2}}, and the Pal'gov at {{convert|3.8|km|mi}} long with a surface of {{convert|6.95|km2|mi2}}. They descend from the crest of the main divide, which has an average absolute height of more than {{convert|4000|m|ft}}. Within the mountains the river is {{convert|22|km|mi}} long, the gradient of its longitudinal profile is {{convert|102|m|ft}} per kilometer, and the basin area is {{convert|210|km2|mi2}}. <br /> <br /> In its upper reaches the river flows down a very steep slope (10-15°) over the deposits of a moraine overgrown with some vegetation and forms a deep (as much as 70 m) canyon; then, in front of the terminal vegetation-free moraine of the Pal'gov glacier, its longitudinal profile flattens out abruptly_ Here the river forms numerous branches over an outwash plain. Below Lake Akkul' (its absolute elevation is 3,140 m), the longitudinal profile undergoes another sharp drop because a large mountainous obstruction damming the lake and, perhaps, because of moraines buried under the obstruction. <br /> <br /> In 1963, the overspill of [[Issyk Lake]] caused a large [[flood]].<br /> <br /> {{Coord|43.25|N|77.48|E|type:waterbody|display=title}}<br /> [[Category:Rivers of Kazakhstan]]</div>

<p>Finetooth: metric conversions</p> <hr /> <div>'''Maly Uzen''' ({{lang-ru|Малый Узень}}) is a river in [[Saratov Oblast]] of [[Russia]] and [[West Kazakhstan Province]] of [[Kazakhstan]]. It is {{convert|638|km|mi}} long, with a [[drainage basin]] of {{convert|18250|km2|mi2}}. <br /> <br /> The Maly Uzen has its sources north of the town [[Yershov (town)|Yershov]], on the western edge of the [[Obshchy Syrt]] plateau in Russia, and flows in a generally southerly direction over the [[steppe]]s of the [[Caspian Depression]]. It terminates in West-Kazakhstan, in a network of small lakes and swamps called the [[Kamysh-Samarskiye Lakes]]. The Maly Uzen runs parallel to the [[Bolshoy Uzen River]], some {{convert|50|km|mi}} further east.<br /> <br /> Most of the river's waters comes from melting snow, and its discharge it therefore at its peak in April, while in the summer parts of the river will dry up completely. At the village of Maly Uzen the discharge varies from {{convert|3.4|to|782|m3/s|cuft/s}}. The river freezes over in December, and stays icebound to the end of March or beginning of April. <br /> <br /> The river is used for water supply and irrigation.<br /> <br /> {{coord|51|22|59|N|48|19|05|E|source:kolossus-ruwiki|display=title}}<br /> {{Rivers of Kazakhstan}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Rivers of Saratov Oblast]]<br /> [[Category:Rivers of Kazakhstan]]<br /> [[Category:International rivers of Europe]]</div>
