Course of the Angren (Ахангаран) |
The Angren ( Uzbek Angren; Tajik Оҳангарон (Ohangaron); Russian Ангрен, Ахангаран (Achangaran)) is a right tributary of the Syrdarja in Uzbekistan .
The Angren arises at the confluence of the Aktaschsaja and Urtalyksaja rivers in the Namangan Province on the southeast flank of the Chatkal Mountains in western Tianshan . It flows in the upper reaches in a south-westerly direction into the province of Tashkent . It flows through a ravine which cuts through the Angren plateau . The valley widens later. Here the river to the Achangaran reservoir is dammed. Downstream are the towns of Angren and Ohangaron . In the lower reaches of the Angren flows through the Tjuijabugus reservoir , absorbs the Karasu and finally flows into the Syrdarja on the right after 223 km. The Angren drains an area of 5260 km². The Angren reaches its greatest drainage during the snowmelt in May.
