SELENGE RIVER IN MONGOLIA
Largest river of Mongolia, originated 50 km south of Moron (Khuvsgul aimag), on the border with the Arkhangai aimag, on the area where the
Ider, Bugsei, Chuluut rivers, Delger Moron converge. The Selenge is formed by
the confluence of the Ider river, which rises on the northern slope of the
Khangai Mountain Range, and the Delger river.
The Selenge river drains into Lake Baikal in
Siberia. The Selenge river is 992 kilometers long, of which 593 kilometers flows
through Mongolian territory. Large rivers - the Orkhon, Yeroo and Tamir - drain
into the Selenge. The annual flow of the Selenge river is a remarkable 9.3 cubic
kilometers and it accapts 30.6% of the flow of all rivers in Mongolia.
It appears that the Selenge river is navigable from
Sukhbaatar city all the way to Lake Baikal and thence to the Arctic Ocean. This
unknown challenge for intrepid explores merits study as a potential tourism
route.
Baikal Sturgeon, Taimen, Lenok, Sig, Umber, Pike,
Siberian Roach, Ide, Bull Ide, Golden Carp, Mirror Carp, Amur Catfish, Burbot
and River Perch are the main fish in the Selenge river. The Selenge river basin
is important for arable farming.
