Alan Ingham, Lyudmila Yakovleva, Mikhail Ilyushchenko

Abstract


The River Nura is typical internal steppe river of Kazakhstan. It is concluded by a system of closed lakes of the Tengiz-Kurgaldzhinskaya depression which includes wetlands, an important site for wildlife and internationally significant one for ornithology.
