Course
The Kazym is a right tributary of the Ob. Its sources are in the Siberian Uvaly. It flows through the northern part of the West Siberian Plain meandering across a very swampy valley. There are numerous lakes in its basin, including the relatively large Sorum-Lor and the Saran-Kho-Lor. The Kazym river is fed mainly by snow. It freezes in early November and begins to thaw in late May.
