The Burla ( Russian Бурла́ ; Kazakh Борлы́ Borly ) is a 489 km long river in the Altai and Novosibirsk Oblast in Russia and to a small extent in Kazakhstan .
course
The Burla rises at a height of about 170 m on the Obplateau , in the forest area Burlinskaja lesnaja dacha , almost 40 km as the crow flies northwest of the city of Kamen am Ob and only about 20 km from the course of the Ob . However, it does not flow towards the river, but in the opposite, southwestern direction in the extreme northwest of the Altai region, parallel to the border with Novosibirsk Oblast . Over its entire length, it retains this direction of flow for, reached in the middle reaches and crosses later in the Kulundaebene in many places swampy, broad flood plain . In the lower reaches in particular, it crosses a large number of lakes. Shortly before the border with Kazakhstan, it reaches the Bolshoye Topolnoye salt lake ("Big Poplar Lake"), leaves it directly at the border and flows through several salt lakes under the Kazakh name Borly on a further 50 km . It finally ends in the likewise salty lake Bolshoi Ashbulat (Большой Ажбулат, "Great Ashbulat") located in a basin without any drainage , a good 100 km northeast of the regional capital Pavlodar . In the lower reaches, the Burla is a maximum of 20 m wide and 2 m deep.
The Burla has no significant tributaries; the largest are the Tschuman (length 70 km) from the right and Panschicha (22 km) and Kurja (55 km) from the left. In the catchment area of the river there are 282 lakes with a total area of 425 km².
There are no cities along the river, but the larger villages and district administrative centers of Pankrushicha , Chabary and Burla . The German national circle Halbstadt of the Altai region flows around immediately to the north.
Hydrology
The catchment area of the Burla covers 12,800 km². The Burla, which flows through a relatively dry area, is generally arid: despite its length, the annual average runoff on Lake Bolshoye Topolnoye is only 3 m³ / s, and it loses a large part of the water in the swamps and lakes on the central reaches.
The burla freezes from early November to mid-April. On flatter sections, it freezes to the bottom. During the spring floods, their level rises by 2 to 3.5 m at the middle reaches, further below by 1 to 2.5 m. In dry summers, the river only reaches Lake Bolshoye Topolnoye, while the Kazakh section as far as Bolshoi Ashbulat dries up.
Use and infrastructure
The Burla is not navigable. In some places, their water is used to irrigate agricultural areas. In the larger lakes on the lower reaches (including Kabanje, Khomutinoje, Peschchanoje, Choroscheje, Bolshoye Topolnoye) there is fishing; the water level of some lakes is regulated by dams.
The middle course of the river is crossed by the railway line Omsk - Karassuk - Srednesibirskaya ( Central Siberian Railway ), the lower course near the Bolshoye-Topolnoye lake by the "Kulunda Railway" Tatarskaya - Karassuk - Slavgorod - Kulunda . The many villages of the mostly intensively agriculturally used area are connected by local roads.
