Khojabakirgan

The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Khojabakirgan (Tajik, Uzbek: Xoʻjabaqirgʻon/Xoʻjabaqirgan), called the Kozu-Baglan (Kyrgyz) in its upper reaches in Kyrgyzstan, is a left tributary of the Syr Darya that flows from Kyrgyzstan into Tajikistan. A 2023 study found the Kozu-Baglan/Khojabakirgan Watershed to be the most "water-stressed" transboundary watershed in the Fergana Valley. The river has been a focal point of water-related disputes between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.

Flows through: Kyrgyzstan.
