Ak-Suu (Syr Darya)

The Ak-Suu or Aksu (Kyrgyz, Tajik, Uzbek: Oqsuv) is a left tributary of the Syr Darya, flowing through Batken Region of Kyrgyzstan and Sughd Region of Tajikistan. The river starts at Ay-Kul, in the north slopes of Turkestan Range in Sarkent State Nature Park. The river flows into the river Syr Darya near the town Navkat in northern Tajikistan. However, the river is fully diverted for irrigation and rarely reaches the Syr Darya. The main settlements along the river include the village of Ak-Suu in Kyrgyzstan and the town of Navkat in Tajikistan. Most communities along the river in both Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan cultivate rice, relying on the river's water for irrigation. In Tajikistan, the water is also used to grow other crops, including cotton, onions, and maize.
