The Kalmakkyrgan, also known as Bileuty (Kazakh: Белеуітті or Білеу; Russian: Билеуты), is a river in the Ulytau District, Karaganda Region, Kazakhstan.[1][2] It has a length of 325 km (202 mi) and a drainage basin of 10,100 km2 (3,900 sq mi).[3][4]

The river flows across a desert and semi-desert area without permanent settlements. In the early summer there are temporary camps of shepherds near the Kalmakkyrgan consisting of one or more yurts. The water of the river is brackish, but suitable for livestock drinking purposes.[5]
