Formed by the junction of the Biya and Katun, the Nenets and Enets occupy the northern part of its basin. Just after meeting the Inya, a dam forms the Novosibirsk Resevoir, and hydroelectric power stations harness it at Oskemen and Bukhtarma. Its basin was claimed for the tsar by the Cossack folk hero Yermak in the 16th century, and its lower section was explored during the Great Northern Expedition. Its outlet is a namesake gulf in the Kara Sea, and its source lies in the Altai mountains.
