The Bagan (Russian: Баган) is a river in Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia. The river is long and has a catchment area of .[1]
The basin of the river is located in the Kargatsky, Bagansky, Zdvinsky, Dovolensky, Krasnozyorsky and Karasuksky districts. Since 1994 here is a 26880ha Ramsar site in the lower course of the river.[2]
The Bagan river system is an endorheic basin between the Ob and the Irtysh rivers. The sources are in a swamp at the western edge of the Ob Plateau. The river flows in a roughly WSW direction all along its course. It is fed mainly by snow. As it progresses along the Kulunda Plain it flows across many lakes of different sizes, such as Inder lake. Finally it ends up in Lake Ivanovskoye.[3] [4] In the river basin there are numerous swamps and lakes, both freshwater and brackish. The Bagan tends to dry up seasonally in its lower reaches.[5]
There are a number of villages near the banks of the Bagan, such as Ozerki 6th, Inder, Dovolnoye, Volchanka, Druzhny, Novogornostalevo, Barlakul, Kukarka, Pokrovka, Paletskoye, Bagan and Ivanovka.[1]
The main tributary of the Bagan is the 180km (110miles) long Baganenok (Баганенок) from the left.
