Kharaa River


Kharaa River is a river in central northern Mongolia.
It starts in a confluence between Sögnögör River and Mandal River near the center of Batsümber sum in Töv aimag, and then continues in a roughly north-western direction through Selenge aimag.
On the last stretch it flows through the Darkhan-Uul aimag, running along its western border and passing the city of Darkhan before entering the Orkhon River near the northern tip of the aimag.

History

The river overflew in 1973 and 2006 which caused flooding to the surrounding area.

Geology

The river has a length of 362 km.

Usage

In 2014, around 0.5 million m3 of water was withdrawn from the river for domestic, livestock, cropland and industrial use.
