Geographical data

The Akmola region is poor in water. The rivers are shallow, non-navigable, fed by meltwater and to a lesser extent by ground sources. In summer, rivers often dry up, the water in them becomes salty. The main rivers of the Akmola region are: Yesil (Ishim (a tributary of the Irtysh) and its tributaries: Ters-Akkan-on the left, Zhabai, Koluton, etc. - on the right. Many rivers end in drainless lakes (the Nura, Selenta, and Ulenta rivers). Dozens of lakes occupy the basins of the melkosopochnik and the elevated plain of the Akmola region. The largest of them are the salt lakes Tengiz (near the border with the Karaganda region) about 40 km wide, Kalmyk-Kol, etc., smaller in size — freshwater Ala-Kol, Shoindi-Kol and many others. Due to the low-lying shores, many lakes change their outlines in strong winds.
