The Zhymyky (Kazakh: Жымықы; Russian: Жимыкы) is a river in the Ulytau District, Karaganda Region, Kazakhstan.[1] It has a length of and a drainage basin of 1460km2.[2]
The river flows across the road that runs roughly from east to west between Koskol and Karsakpay.[1]
The Zhymyky has its origin in the southwestern slopes of the Ulytau Range, to the west of the Lakbay wintering settlement. It heads roughly westwards and northwestwards within a deep, steep channel. In its final stretch the river bends and flows roughly southwestwards, bending southwards near the end and flowing into the northeastern shores of the Shubarteniz lake.[2] [3]
The Zhymyky is fed by winter snows and during the yearly spring floods its water is fresh. The waters of the river are used for watering livestock.[4]
