The Ajagös ( Kazakh Аягөз , Russian Аягоз ) is a tributary of Lake Balkhash in eastern Kazakhstan .
The Ajagös rises on the northern flank of the Tarbagatai Mountains . It flows first in a north-westerly direction, passes the city of the same name, Ajagös , then turns south and flows through a semi-desert-like landscape. During floods , it reaches the eastern end of Lake Balkhash south of Aqtogai . The Ajagös is mainly fed by the snowmelt . Part of the river water is used for irrigation .
