TheArshaly (Kazakh:Аршалы;Russian:Аршалы) is a river inZerendi andAstrakhan districts,Akmola Region,Kazakhstan. It has a length of 220 km (140 mi) and a basin size of 4,160 km2 (1,610 sq mi).[1]
The villages ofViktorovka,Nikolayevka,Zhana Kalkutan andKarakol (former Vishnyovka) are located by the banks of river Arshaly.[2] The river is part of the Ishim Water Management Basin.[3]
The Arshaly is a right tributary of theKalkutan. It has its sources in lakeKaragaychik at the southern sector of theKokshetau Hills. In its uppermost stretch the river flows southwards into lakeAydabol, and then eastwards from the southern shore of the lake. Shortly thereafter it turns southwards and flows roughly in that direction all along its course. After descending into a floodplain, the Arshaly joins the right bank of the Kalkutan nearEski Kalkutan village, a little downstream from the mouth of theBoksyk.[2]
Its main tributaries are the Toktinka and Konyr from the right, and the Kenashy from the left. There are relatively few lakes in its basin.[4][5]
