The river water is used for irrigation of nearby farmland in the summer and to provide drinking water to local settlements. Course The Ashchysu has its sources in a spring of the southern slopes of the Semizbughy massif of the Kazakh Uplands. It heads first southwards, then it bends and flows roughly westwards within a plain to the north of the Ayr Mountains. Downwards from its middle course the river channel forms meanders. The water of the river is fresh in the upper reaches, its salinity increasing further downriver. The Ashchysu reservoir is located in the final stretch, about upstream from the confluence with the Nura. Finally it reaches the right bank of river Nura upstream from Sheshenkara village, former ''Proletarskoye''.Google Earth The Ashchysu is fed by snow and underground water. The river flows a ...

Sentinel-2
Sentinel-2 is an Earth observation mission from the Copernicus Programme that acquires optical imagery at high spatial resolution (10 m to 60 m) over land and coastal waters. The mission's Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B satellites were joined in orbit in 2024 by a third, Sentinel-2C, and in the future by Sentinel-2D, eventually replacing the A and B satellites, respectively. The mission supports services and applications such as agricultural monitoring, emergencies management, land cover classification, and water quality. Sentinel-2 has been developed and is being operated by the European Space Agency. The satellites were manufactured by a consortium led by Airbus Defence and Space in Friedrichshafen, Germany. Overview The Sentinel-2 mission includes: * Multispectral image, Multi-spectral data with 13 bands in the Visible spectrum, visible, Infrared#Regions within the infrared, near infrared, and Infrared#Regions within the infrared, short wave infrared part of the Electromagnetic ...

Ide (fish)
The ide (''Leuciscus idus''), or orfe, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Leuciscidae. The ide is found in larger rivers, ponds, and lakes across Northern Europe and Asia. It has been introduced outside its native range into Europe, North America, and New Zealand. It is a popular ornamental fish, usually kept in outdoor ponds in temperate regions from which it often escapes. Etymology The name "ide" is from Swedish ''id'', originally referring to its bright colour (compare the German dialect word ''Aitel'', a kind of bright fish and Old High German ''Eit'', funeral pyre, fire).''Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged'' (Merriam, 1961; repr. Merriam-Webster, 1981), p. 723 s.v. "edify."

Perch
Perch is a common name for freshwater fish from the genus ''Perca'', which belongs to the family Percidae of the large order Perciformes. The name comes from , meaning the type species of this genus, the European perch (''P. fluviatilis''). Many species of freshwater game fish more or less resemble perch, but belong to different genera. In fact, the exclusively saltwater-dwelling red drum (which belong to a different order Acanthuriformes) is often referred to as a "red perch", though by definition perch are freshwater species. Though many fish are referred to as perch as a common name, to be considered a true perch, the fish must be of the family Percidae. Species Most authorities recognize three species within the perch genus: * The European perch (''P. fluviatilis'') is primarily found in Europe, but a few can also be found in South Africa, and even as far east on the Southern hemisphere as Australia. This species is typically greenish in color with dark vertical ba ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
