Are peculiar water travel and lowland rivers in Kazakhstan.
Boating permits several problems at once: it strengthens health, physically tempers, makes it possible to see a lot of a variety of archaeological and architectural monuments that reveal the history of tribes and peoples who inhabited the ancient Kazakhstan. All this you can see, a trip on the rivers and lakes. Before you hit the road, water tourists should explore the route, familiarize yourself with the natural conditions.
Vast and varied territory of Kazakhstan: if Karagiye located near the Caspian Sea, lies 132 m below sea level, is in the southeast of the mountain peaks rise up to 6000 m and more. Our country is divided into four landscape zones: forest-steppe, steppe, semi-desert and desert. The climate is dry, continental. In summer the temperature rises to 45 degrees and above, in winter drops to -50 degrees. If desert areas falls only 100-200 mm of rainfall per year, in the mountains the number reaches up to 1600 mm.
All this considerably affects the distribution of surface waters. For example, rivers and lakes more in the northern, eastern and south-eastern regions of the country, where much rain falls, and very little - in the deserts. The plains and low mountain rivers flow slowly, but in the spring time, they are full-flowing (flow passes 10-15 days). The channels have sinuous, with a slight slope, the valleys are wide, the extreme conductivity varies from year to year. Many lowland rivers are fed mainly by rainfall, and in the summer - groundwater. During this period, they are often dry, broken into stretches. Mountain river is a constant, as in the summer, they feed exclusively due to melting snow and glaciers and have a spring and summer. During this period, they held 50-60 percent of annual runoff.
