Transcription
Course
It arises above Atasu and flows generally westward to Kzyl-Dzhar where it turns south-westward past Birlestik and Zhanabas, then heading ever-more southerly it ends in the Telikol, across a cluster of small intermittent lakes at the western end of the Ashchykol Depression and to the east of the Dariyaly plain. River Boktykaryn runs parallel to it just before the Sarysu bends west towards the Telikol.[2][3][4]
The 181 kilometers (112 mi) long Shieli-Telikol Canal was built for irrigation, connecting the Telikol lacustrine basin to the north with the Syr Darya river near Shieli.[5]
