Syr Darya - Syr Daya is the longest river of Central Asia. Its length is over 2200 km. It flows through the territories of Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan. Syr Darya has its rise near Namangan, the Fergana Valley, at the confluence of the Kyrgyz Naryn and Kara Darya rivers. Running near Kokand, it crosses a small territory of Tajikistan with ancient Khujand city located on its banks and then re-enters Uzbekistan, now southward of Tashkent. However, the major part of the riverbed runs through Kazakh steppes, where such cities as Kyzyl-Orda and Baikonur were built. Two thousand kilometers further to the north of Central Asia, the Syr Darya flows into the Small Aral.
- In the middle and lower reaches, the Syr Darya is very wandering, and has many overflow lands and a channel, overgrown with reeds and tugai forests. These river overflows are generally used for agriculture to grow rice, gourds, and even to set up full-sized gardens. The Syr Darya delta is boggy, here and there forming small lakes.
