Turyan (Template:Lang-az), also called Turyanchay is a river of Azerbaijan. It flows through Qabala and Goychay raions.
Overview
Turyanchay starts off at Ragdan Peak which is located on the boundary of Qabala and Oguz raions, in Saral range at 3,680 meters above sea level. The river then branches off to Tikanli, Gara and Bum rivers down to Nij village thus playing an important role in the agricultural development of the area. The river ends its stream by flowing into Kura river. The water from Turyanchay is also used for arrogation purposes in Agdash and Goychay raions through the artificially built water canals. In 2002, the river overflowed causing flooding of a major highway. Since then, the regional administration built stone concrete dams in the banks of four major rivers of Qabala raion in 2007. The Turyanchay dam is 300 meters long.[1]
