Geography

The Saryozen belongs to the Turgay basin. It has its sources in the Saryadyr plateau. It heads initially southwestwards, then it bends westwards and in its mid course it bends again and heads southwestwards. Finally it enters lake Sarykopa from the northeastern end. In years of high water the Saryozen river may flow across lake Sarykopa into the Turgay through a channel near Tauysh village.[2] [3]
