Chet Irgiz

The Chet Irgiz is a tributary of the Irgiz in the dry steppe east of the Mugodzhar Hills. Its waters join a river that runs south from the hills towards the Turgay, within a basin that has no outlet to the ocean. The rivers and lakes of this country form a chain of seasonal wetlands amid the open plains, with their extent changing as the supply of water rises and falls.
