The Kumarik ( Russian Кумарык , Chinese 昆玛拉克 河 , Pinyin Kūnmǎlākè Hé ) is a river in the Uyghur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang in the northwest of the People's Republic of China .
The Kumarik forms the lower reaches of the Saryjas in the People's Republic of China. The transition from Saryjas to Kumarik takes place on the state border between Kyrgyzstan and China and lies in a breakthrough valley of the Kokshaal Tau , which forms a section of the Tian Shan main ridge. The Kumarik flows through the mountains in a southerly direction and reaches the plateau of the Tarim basin . Then he turns to the southeast. When leaving the mountains, the Kumarik is dammed into a reservoir. The river runs in Aksu Konaxeher County within Aksu Governorate . About 10 km west of the city of Aksu , the Kumarik finally joins the Toxkan coming from the west to form the Aksu River . The Kumarik is the richer in water of the two source rivers of the Aksu. Its catchment area provides 45% of the amount of water in the Tarim river system . The Kumarik has a length of about 140 km. At the Xiehela gauge , the mean discharge is 151 m³ / s. Towards the end of summer there are repeated floods due to glaciers in the headwaters of the Saryjas.
