Many medium to large rivers feed the Darhad Basin. The basin is
drained by the Shishhid River, a head of the Yenisei River (Fig. 2).
The Darhad drainage area is 1.5 times larger than that of the
Hovsgol (Table 1). The big catchment area, the higher total relief
and the intensive run-off provide significant sediment flow into the
Darhad Basin.
