Thermal Springs of Chon-Kyzylsuu are located 20 km southeast of the village of Pokrovka in the southeastern part of the Issyk-Kul region at an absolute altitude of 2400 m on the right bank of the Chon-Kyzylsuu River, below the confluence with its right tributary, the Jilisu stream.
Thermal waters of Ugut are located on the left bank of the Naryn River, 110 km west of the city of Naryn, 3.5 km downstream from the confluence of the Ala-Buga River at an absolute elevation of 1500 m.
Gulchinsky Spring is located 5 km southwest of the village of Gulcha on the left bank of the valley of the Jilisu stream at an absolute elevation of about 1900 m. The water is of the sulfate-bicarbonate magnesium-sodium-calcium type with a mineralization of just under 0.5 g/l, which is not unique and does not hold great value. The spring's discharge is close to 1.5 l/s — there are thousands of springs with such discharge in Kyrgyzstan. Finally, the water of Gulchinsky Spring contains just
Altyn-Arashan Spring is located 22 km southeast of the city of Karakol in the valley of the Arashan River. In this area, several groups of springs with anomalously high water temperatures are known, but only the middle group, located on the right bank of the Arashan River 200 m below the mouth of its right tributary, the Anarty River, at absolute elevations just over 2400 m, is used more or less regularly. A local balneotherapy center has been organized here, utilizing two small bathing pools
The Alamedin Deposit is located 28 km south of Bishkek city in the middle reaches of the Alamedin River at absolute elevations slightly below 1800 m. Like many other thermal water springs, it has been known for a long time and was used by the ancient population of the Chui Valley, as evidenced by archaeological finds in its vicinity.
Issyk-Ata Deposit is located 78 km southeast of Bishkek in the middle part of the picturesque valley of the same name river at absolute elevations of about 1750-1800 m. Good roads lead from Tokmak and Kant through the village of Yurievka to the Issyk-Ata resort, providing all-weather and year-round access for the settlements of the Chui Valley to this resort.
Dzhergalan Thermal Water Deposit was discovered accidentally during the drilling of a parametric well by the "Kyrgyzneft" management in the early 1960s in the valley of the Dzhergalan River, 200 meters upstream from the bridge over it on the Tyup-Karakol highway. The absolute elevation of the area here is 1630 m, which is about twenty meters higher than the level of Lake Issyk-Kul.
Jalal-Abad Deposit is located on the left bank of the Kugar River valley on the southeastern outskirts of the city of Jalal-Abad, the second largest industrial and cultural center in the south of the republic. The mineral springs of Hazret-Ayub-Paygambara (the name of the village that existed before the war on the slope to the north of the modern resort) have been known to the local population for a long time, in times that can be called archaeological, as their traces are usually established
The Aksu Deposit is located in Eastern Prissykul, 15 km southeast of the town of Krakal, in the river mouth area of the Ak-Suu River — a right tributary of the Arashan River, at absolute elevations of about 1750 m. The first descriptions of the deposit were made in the mid-20th century by the famous geographer P. P. Semenov-Tyan-Shansky, although local residents were undoubtedly aware of it long before that.
Kyrgyz people have been preparing kumys and highly valuing its nutritional and healing properties since ancient times.
In Kyrgyzstan, approximately 2100 species of mushrooms are currently known. They are conditionally divided into micromycetes and macromycetes. Macromycetes are a group of higher fungi that have large fruiting bodies of various shapes, represented by 286 species.
As sad as it is to realize, our time has become a period in Earth's history marked by the most drastic changes (almost to the point of destruction) that humanity has inflicted on the natural environment. Currently, as a result of anthropogenic impact, thousands of species of plants and animals may disappear from the planet. This process must be halted because further reduction of biodiversity could lead to destabilization of ecosystems.
The question of the origin of carbonated waters is one of the most controversial in hydrogeology and is pivotal in the problem of mineral water formation.
Carbonated water in the Chaek well. For now, this is the only well of its kind in the republic that has revealed water with increased CO2 content in a place where there were no serious grounds for such an expectation.
Mineral Springs of Shilbeli contain the least mineralized naturally carbonated water in Kyrgyzstan. They are located in the basin of the Karakuldja River, 80 km directly east of the city of Uzgen, on the right bank of the Shilbeli stream valley, which is a left tributary of the middle course of the Surtaš River. The absolute elevation of the area where the Shilbeli springs are located is close to 3200 m. There are two groups of springs at a distance of 350 m from each other; in terms of carbon
Kacharaltur Area is located on the same left bank of the Yassy River as Kara-Shoro, but 200 meters downstream. At the base of the slope and along the riverbed, there are about half a dozen springs of mineral water and gas emissions. In the most concentrated flows, the water has a mineralization of about 6 g/L, with carbon dioxide content up to 1.88 g/L, otherwise closely resembling the indicators of Kara-Shoro. The flow rate of mineral water here is close to 0.5 L/s.
Kara-Shoro Deposit includes 3 areas of carbonated mineral water distribution — namely Kara-Shoro itself, Kacharaltur, and Konurtebe, and is remarkable primarily for two indicators: it features carbonated water with the highest salt content in Kyrgyzstan (over 40 g/l) and has the most diverse types of mineral waters among those found in the republic; furthermore, the water from this deposit contains the highest concentrations of microelements such as iron, zinc, and barium. Among all the
Source Arkarsur is the most frequently visited outlet of carbonated waters by wild animals. Not to mention that the marked feature is clearly expressed in the name of the spring (arkar — a direct reference to argali, while "shur" can be easily recognized as a somewhat distorted Turkic "shor" — salt).
The carbonated water of Kara-Kiche is the most sulfate-rich among the carbonated mineral waters of the republic and closely resembles the composition of the most popular sulfate narzan in the country, Kislovodsk narzan, in terms of macrocomponent ratios.
Uselik Carbonated Springs are the highest located outlets of carbonated mineral waters in Kyrgyzstan — they emerge at an absolute height of over 3600 m in the same area as the Chatyr-Kul deposit, but 15 km east of the lake, in the Torugart-Tau mountains. A distinctive feature of the geological structure of this area is the presence of young (Cenozoic) magmatic rocks (basalts), which may be related to the existence of the local mineral waters to some extent.
In ancient times, mosquitoes appeared on Earth along with other living creatures. No one really knows why Mother Nature created mosquitoes. But they have a very high opinion of themselves, even though they are capable of only one thing — flying up with a buzz to a living being, quietly landing on a bare, and thus the most vulnerable, spot, and making... a little prick. You won't feel the mosquito's sting right away, but later, when a bump appears and a terrible itch arises — you
In ancient times, there lived a simple man named Edil. He was so fearful that everyone called him nothing but "Cowardly Edil." Even at night, he would go outside for the smallest need accompanied by his wife.
The time had come, and the Earth appeared, with all sorts of grasses, trees, flowers, animals, and, of course, people. And everything — plants, birds, hoofed animals, and humans lived independently; no one offended or insulted anyone, and there were no rulers. Silence and peace reigned everywhere because no foreign blood was shed, and no life was lost in vain. In a word, in that blessed time, there were no rulers, tyrants, judges, or humiliation of man by man. Everyone was content and well-fed
Once upon a time, there lived two famous hunters in the Kyrgyz mountains. One was named Adyl-mergen, and the other — Edil-mergen. They had heard good things about each other, but they had never met.
The story took place when khans, kings, and viziers had already appeared on earth, in other words — rulers, when wise fathers had already begun to test what their sons were capable of. There lived a certain Shamir, and he had a single son named Mamyr.
The Chatyr-Kul Deposit has the largest resources of carbonated water in Kyrgyzstan: they are estimated at 50 l/s, which theoretically allows each resident of our country to receive 12 bottles of mineral water per year.
Beshbelchir-Arashan Deposit has the warmest water among all manifestations of carbonated mineral waters in Kyrgyzstan. It is located at the foot of the southern slope of the Atbashy Range, 70 km southeast of the city of Naryn, in the valley of the Arachan River at an absolute height of about 3300 m. Although this area is widely known for its permafrost, which is sometimes exaggeratedly referred to as "eternal" frost, the temperature of the carbonated water here at the surface is
Even in ancient times, the necks of tricksters were long, and male pheasants wore an astonishingly bright red-gold outfit. Even then, some people were luckier in life than others; some accomplished their deeds through strength, while others did so through wit.
A long time ago, when there was still no Issyk-Kul, and at the foot of the mountains there were no settlements, and people did not live here, as they do now, in cities and villages, legends say that there was a valley that occupied a vast territory — from modern Tyup in the east to the Boom Gorge in the west. A great river, Char, flowed through this valley, into which small rivers — Dzhergalan, Ak-Suu, Karakol, Kyzyl-Suu, Barskoon, Tamga, Kök-Terek, Ula-Khol — flowed. The waters of the river
Meat Production. During the reporting period of 2015, economic entities of all categories in the republic produced 55.6 thousand tons of meat in live weight, which is 888 tons or 1.6% more than the corresponding period of the previous year. The increase in meat production occurred mainly due to an increase in the number of agricultural animals, except for pigs, as well as due to the provision of preferential loans to the livestock sector in 2014 amounting to 4,177.0 million soms, which
The Aksu mineral water deposit is the most intensively exploited deposit of therapeutic table carbonated water in the republic. It is located 30 km south of the village of Belovodskoye in the Moscow district, in the valley of the Jartash River — a right tributary of the upper Aksu River. The absolute elevation at the mineral water outcrop sites is close to 2300 m. A good road accessible to all types of transport leads to the deposit, which was previously manifested by two groups (lower and
Currently, there are 28 known deposits and occurrences of carbonated waters in Kyrgyzstan, containing free carbon dioxide in amounts of 500 mg/l or more. Most of them are located in the Fergana Range: in the basin of the Yassy River — areas of Arkarshur, Baibiche, Jol-Chavay, Kara-Shoro, Kacharalatour, Konurtebe, Kokdjar, Kolubek, Tuyde, Chitty, Chon-Chavay; in the basin of the Tar River — areas of Kulun, Suek, Terek, Tuz-Ashu; in the basin of the Arpa River — Karakol (eastern) and
The Arashans of Kyrgyzstan have been known to the local population for their healing properties since ancient times. This is evidenced by numerous stone monuments at the sites of thermal springs, as well as various legends associated with the names of mineral water deposits.
The components and indicators that provide grounds for assessing water as mineral can include the degree of mineralization, the composition and ratio of dissolved substances in the water, gas content, pH reaction, and radioactivity.
And there was a time like that. In the eastern part of the Chui Valley, at the foot of the mountains, lived a man named Kochkor with his wife Chynar. They had one and only son, whom they named Akkoen at birth, which translates to White Hare.
It was a long time ago, when rivers flowed clear and full, when magpies were not thieves, and when people had just begun to divide into the rich and the poor. During this time, there lived a poor man named Erdene. He lost his parents as a teenager, and he had to earn his bread early. Since he only knew how to take care of livestock, he lived by working for the wealthy as a shepherd.
The Tale of the Wise Boy On one of those fine, sunny days, the khan, accompanied by his six closest viziers, went hunting. It was Friday, a day when Muslims work less and pray more to God. This time, the hunting route passed through a small aiyl called Zhatakchy. Due to the lack of livestock in the summer, they do not migrate to the mountains but remain on the plain, growing wheat, barley, or millet.
