 Kuma-Manych Depression --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - Your gateway to all Britannica has to offer!
It is bordered on the north by the Arctic Ocean, on the west by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the south (west to east) by the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, the Kuma and Manych rivers, and the Caspian Sea.
The Zapadny Manych drains the western part of the depression; the east is drained by the Vostochny Manych and lower Kuma rivers.
The intermittent flow of the rivers was augmented in the mid-20th century by the construction of the Kuma-Manych Canal, which is, in turn, fed by the Terek-Kuma Canal to the south.

The western stream flows westwards, with an inclination northwards, until it reaches the Don, though when the latter river is running high, its water penetrates some 6o miles up the Manych.

 Asia
The boundary between Asia and Europe runs via the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara, the Bosphorus, the Black Sea, the ridges of the Caucasus (according to others, through the Kuma-Manych Depression), the Caspian Sea, the Ural River (according to others, the Emba River) and the Ural Mountains to Novaya Zemlya.
This term is rarely used by geographers, but usually it refers to the Asian part of Russia, also known as Siberia.
The boundaries are vague, especially between Asia and Europe: Asia and Africa meet somewhere near the Suez Canal.
