Geography

Uryum lies in the Baraba Lowland, West Siberian Plain. It belongs to the Chulym river basin, located in the southern part of the Ob-Irtysh interfluve. The Chulym enters the lake from the southeastern end and flows out from the western shore. Uryum is the last of the fluvial lakes of the westward flowing Chulym before it ends at Lake Malye Chany.[3] It has an elongated shape roughly aligned from east to west. The shores are regular and there is a wide bay in the north. About 15km (09miles) further upstream lies lake Sargul.[2] Crucian carp live in the lake waters.[4]

The Bagan flows 15km (09miles) to the south. Lake Malye Chany lies 16km (10miles) to the west, Sartlan 33km (21miles) to the north, and Inder 78km (48miles) to the east.
