	Ural River Basin Workshop in Orenburg, 2007
		The Ural is the only remaining river flowing unregulated to the Caspian Sea with numerous meanders and oxbow arms in its largely natural floodplain.
		Thanks to the absence of large dams and weirs across the river, the Ural still holds self-sustaining, viable sturgeon populations, capable of natural reproduction.
		The Ural Basin Project is a timely illustration for the importance of an integrated ecosystem approach, as advocated by the Ramsar Convention, to link water resources and river basin management with socio-economic factors and the sustainable use of biological resources, as substantiated in the conclusions elaborated after the workshop (English, PDF) (Russian).

		The Ural River is one of the two major rivers (the other is the Volga) that empty into the northern coast of the Caspian Sea, creating extensive wetlands.
		New distributary channels form in the delta when the river breaches natural levees formed by sediment deposition.The long main channel of the river in this image and several of the distibutary channels are too regular to be entirely natural, however.
		The Ural River’s trek to the Caspian is long —roughly 2,400 kilometers (1,500 miles) southward from the Ural Mountains in Russia to empty into the northern Caspian Sea in Kazakhstan.

	Environmental quality
		Copper is high in several areas, including the Sefid Rood river mouth and the Kura River mouth, possibly due to use of copper sulfate-based pesticides for orchards.
		The distribution of heavy metals is consistent with the main circulation of the south Caspian area, which consists of a major cyclonic (anticlockwise) gyre which brings river flow, sediments, and perhaps contaminants from the Azeri to the Iranian sector of the shoreline.
		The general literature supports the notion that contamination in the Volga River is significant, and because of the river's vast reservoirs and wetlands, some significant percentage of these contaminants must be sequestered prior to reaching the Caspian Sea.

	Ural Mountains Radiation Pollution
		Through intentional dumping of nuclear waste into the Techa River and Lake Karachay, an explosion at a nuclear waste storage tank in 1957, and the spread of irradiated sediments from Lake Karachay in 1967, Mayak has come to be known as the most polluted place on Earth.
		Water from the nearby Techa River would be pumped through the reactor as a coolant and the subsequent irradiated water would then be sent back into the river.
		At one point there was a 40 mile layer of dark foam over one section of the river (at this time, the fish in the lake went blind.) Not until radiation was detected in the Arctic waters of northern Russia did the government force changes.
