Ulz River (Mongolian: Улз гол, Russian: Улдза, romanized: Uldza) is a river in Mongolia, which partially flows in Transbaikal, Russia, within the Daursky Nature Reserve. It flows into the Barun-Torey (ru:Барун-Торей) lake.[1][2]
At about 20km before the mouth a branch to the right is split named Teliin Gol (телийн гол) (which until 2013 was dry for many years[3]) which delivers water into the river Шуду-Гол (Shudu Gol), which sinks into the lake Khökh Nuur.[1]
Usage
In 2014, around 0.5 million m3 of water was withdrawn from the river for livestock and industrial use.[4]
