Manysai
Manysai is a seasonal watercourse in the dry country of northern Ustyurt. In spring its floods, together with those of the neighbouring Shagan, spread over the steppe and support grasslands. Saiga antelope roam the region around these rivers and the Shoshkakol ridge. The seasonal waters lie amid the routes used by pastoral communities moving between the Ustyurt plateau and Mangyshlak.
