Course


The Talgar river originates at the confluence of rivers Left Talgar and Right Talgar, which have their sources in a glacier area of the Trans-Ili Alatau range, part of the Tian Shan. It flows northwards through a valley with steep slopes. About midway down its course, it descends into a floodplain. Since 1970 the river has had its mouth in the southern lakeshore of the Kapchagay Reservoir.
The Talgar is a river seasonally prone to floods. A string of small dams has been built in its last stretch, along with a network of irrigation channels.
