Ishim River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ishim River (Russian: Иши́м; Kazakh: Esil) is a river running through Kazakhstan and Russia. Its length is 2,450 km (1,530 mi). It is a left tributary of the Irtysh River. The Ishim River is partly navigable and passes through Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. According to the President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, Astana was chosen as the capital in part due to the presence of the river. The city is also divided into two sections, the Right Bank of the Ishim or the old town, and the Left Bank, where the new government buildings such as Ak Orda, the House of the Government, and the Supreme Court are located, as well as many prestigious apartment and living complexes.
