Kostanay Region (Kazakh: Қостанай облысы, romanized: Qostanai oblysy; Russian: Костанайская область, romanized: Kostanayskaya oblast) is a region of Kazakhstan. Its administrative center is the city of Kostanay. The population of the region is 835,686. The population living in Kostanay is 207,000 which is equivalent to 23% of the region.
Kostanay Region is adjacent to the Russian federal subjects Orenburg Oblast, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Kurgan Oblast, and is near the Ural Mountains. It also touches four other Kazakh regions: Aktobe Region to the southwest, Karaganda Region to the south, Akmola Region to the southeast, and North Kazakhstan Region to the northeast. The Tobol (Tobyl) River, a tributary of the Irtysh River, starts in and flows through the region on its way to Russia. Kostanay Region's area is 197,000 square kilometers, making it the sixth largest of the Kazakh regions.
Resources of an animal and flora of Kostanay Region are suitable for the organization and development of zones and objects of civilized fishery and a hunt, lake-commodity fish culture, hunt facilities development. The fauna of ground animal includes 52 kinds of mammal, 267 is constant or temporarily living birds, 10 kinds of amphibious and kowtowing, in reservoirs 24 kinds of fishes live.
Naurzum reserve (877 km2), 3 natural sanctuaries (1630 km2) and 12 state nature sanctuaries (0.47 km2) with a rich vegetative cover are pride of region.
The region is characterized of flat relief with inflows of the Ayat, Ubagan, Ui, and Turgay, Saryozen, and Karatorgai rivers. The Northern part occupies the southeast suburb of the West-Siberian lowland, the Turgay Plateau trails in from the south, the Zaural plateau comes from the west, and the Kazakh Uplands comes in from the southwest. River network is sparse.
There are approximately 310 rivers in the region. The largest rivers are Tobol and Torgai. The Tobol river includes the Verhnetobolsk, Karatomar, and Amangeldy water basins. The Kostanay Region has more than 5,000 lakes; the largest ones are located in Torgai dell, Kushmurun, Sarymoin, Aksuat, and Sarykopa. The woodland area is 2,175 km2 including 1,512 km2 of natural plantings. Due to the Soviet Virgin Lands Campaign, much of the land was ploughed for wheat.
The Kostanay Region is rich in minerals, especially iron ore. Magnetite ores and brown soolits[clarification needed] are deposited from the Sokolovsk, Sarbaiskoe, Kachary, Avatsk, and Lisavosk regions. The total weight of the magnetite and hematite ores from the region combined is 15.7 billion tons, of which 5.7 billion tons are easy to enrich and don't demand a lot of enrichment.[citation needed] The bowels are especially rich in iron ore, brown coal, asbestos, fire-resistant brick clay, flux, cement limestone, glass sand, building stones, among others. There are 19 locations in the region that deposit bauxite, 7 that deposit gold, and one for both silver and nickel.[citation needed]
The Arakaragai and Amankaragai regions are filled with chernozems and pine forests. In the Naurzikmkaragai region, chestnut grounds with pine forests are prominent. The southern part of the region is dominated by grasslands and shrublands.
