The Naryn River (Russian: Нарын) rises in the Tien Shan mountains in Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia, flowing west through the Fergana Valley into Uzbekistan. Here it confluences with the Kara Darya River (at 40.9° N 71.75° ECoordinates: 40.9° N 71.75° E) to form the Syr Darya. It is 807 km long and has an annual flow of 13.7 cubic km. The river contains many reservoirs which are important in the generation of hydro-electricity. The largest of these is the Toktogul reservoir containing 19.9 cubic kilometers of water.
