The Tegene (Kazakh: Тегене; Russian: Тегене) is a river in the Aktobe Region and Ulytau Region, Kazakhstan.[2] It has a length of 117 km (73 mi) and a drainage basin of 2,530 km2 (980 sq mi).[1]
The Tegene flows wholly across uninhabited territory. Its basin is used seasonally for livestock grazing, before the burnout of the grass in the summer.[3] The name of the river originated in the Kazakh language word for "bowl".[4]
