What are the yenisey river features?
The 200 mi (320 km) partly navigable Upper Angara River feeds into the northern end of Lake Baikal from the Buryat Republic but the largest inflow is from the Selenga which forms a delta on the south-eastern side. The longest tributaries rise on the eastern slopes of central Mongolia’s Khangai Mountains. Another tributary, the Tuul passes through the Mongolian capital, Ulan Bator while the Egiin Gol drains Lake Khövsgöl(500 km) downstream, where the 407 ft (124 m) dam built in the 1960s produces 4500 MW. The resultant reservoir is nicknamed Dragon Lake because of its outline. The tributary Oka and Iya rivers, which rise on the north slopes of the Eastern Sayan Mountains, form the ‘jaws’ and 250 mi (400 km) of the Angara forms the ‘tail’. There are newer dams almost as large at Ust-Ilimsk 155 mi (250 km) downstream (also damming the tributary Ilim river) and Boguchany a further 250 mi (400 km) downstream (not operational). Further dams are planned but the environmental consequences of c
