Description
The length of the Maidantal is 49 kilometers, the basin area is 471 km². It has more than 60 tributaries with a total length of over 140 km. The average catchment height is 3130 meters (10% lies in the nival zone ) [1] . The river is most full-flowing from May to September (runoff rises to 25.8–47.4 m³ / s) [2] .
The Maidantal begins at the confluence of two nameless sources in the Talas Alatau at an altitude of 2914 meters [3] . Both streams are of spring origin [4] . The source of the Maidantal is located in the Turkestan region near the border with Uzbekistan, on the territory of the Aksu-Zhabaglinsky reserve .
Initially, the river is oriented in a general east direction, after merging with Ashutor it turns southeast, flowing in a valley between the Pskemsky ridge and the Maidantal ridge . At the southern tip of the Maidantal ridge, it crosses the state border and merges with the Oygaing into the Pskem River on the territory of the Tashkent province of Uzbekistan [4] . Near the confluence of rivers is the weather station " Maidantal " [5] .
In the summer, lands in the river valley are used as high mountain pastures ( yaylau ) [2] .
