TheTeneke (Kazakh:Тенеке;Russian:Тенеке) is a river in theYereymentau District,Akmola Region,Kazakhstan.[2] It has a length of 95 km (59 mi) and adrainage basin of 600 km2 (230 sq mi).[1]
The Teneke flows across almost uninhabited territory. Its basin is used seasonally for livestock grazing and its water for watering local cattle.[3] The name of the river originated in theKazakh language word for "tin".[4]
The Teneke originates in a spring located in Koyandy mountain of theKazakh Uplands. In its first stretch it flows roughly northwards across thesteppe, to the east of theSileti and parallel to it. Halfway through its course the Teneke describes a wide bend and flows northeastwards, bending to the east in its final stretch. The Teneke has its mouth in the southwestern corner of theSholaksorendorheic lake.[1]
The Teneke is part of theIrtysh basin. It flows mainly in the spring with the thawing of the winter snows. In the summer it breaks up into disconnected pools. Like the Sileti, its channel is relatively shallow. The Teneke has 31 small tributaries with a total length of 95 km (59 mi).[3][2][1]
