Geography

[edit]

The basin of the Saryozen is endorheic, belonging to the wider Sarysu basin. The river has its sources in springs located to the south of Tikenekti village, Nura District. It heads roughly southwards all along its course. In its last stretch the Saryozen bends southeastwards and finally it ends in the northern shore of the Kabyrshakty, a salt lake.[3]
