On the left bank of the river, about 150 km southwest of the city of Abakan, is the small town of Abasa . The mean annual flow rate at the Raikow measuring point near the mouth is 381 m³ / s, in the month with the least water in January 49.3 m³ / s, in the month with the most water in May 1095 m³ / s. On the river, which is also used for irrigation in its lower reaches, there is logging .
