The Kitschi-Kemin ( Kyrgyz Кичи-Кемин ) is a right tributary of the Tschüi in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan ( Central Asia ).
The Kitschi-Kemin rises in Kyrgyzstan in the far west of the Transili-Alatau . It flows from the northern flank of the mountain range shortly to the north. Then he makes an arc to the west and south-west. It passes the place Ak-Tuz and then flows through a gorge in a south-westerly direction. After passing the village of Imeni Il'icha , the Kitschi-Kemin turns west and reaches the broad Tschüital . It flows along the northern edge of the valley past the villages of Kitschi-Kemin and Boroldoy . The river then flows for the last 14 km in Kazakhstan before it flows into the Tschüi on the right.
The Kitschi-Kemin has a length of 81 km. Its catchment area covers 614 km². The mean discharge is 2.10 m³ / s. The discharge varies between 0.46 m³ / s in February and 8.63 m³ / s in July.
In 1964 the dam of a tailings pit broke and contaminated the river with heavy metals.
