The Arga-Jurjach ( Russian Арга-Юрях ) is the left headwaters of the Rossocha in the East Siberian lowlands in the Sakha Republic .
The Arga-Jurjach arises at the confluence of the Seja and Taba-Bastaach rivers . It leaves the Ulachan-Sis ridge in a southerly direction, flows a bit along its southern flank in an easterly direction and then turns south. The strongly meandering river later flows through a part of the Kolyma lowland covered with countless small lakes in an easterly direction, before it meets the Ilin-Jurjach coming from the south and unites with it to form Rossocha. The Arga-Jurjach has a length of 312 km. Its catchment area covers 5600 km², of which 15.2% is lake area. Much of the catchment area consists of swamps with permafrost soil . The river is fed by snowmelt and precipitation.
