It is fed by the Amu Darya sleeves and Raushan Priemuzyak. Prior to the drying of the Aral Sea was connected with him a narrow channel, and served as a breeding ground of semi-fish species. Catches in Sudoche reached 2,000 tons per year, and the maximum depth is 3 m [1]. The intensive diversion of water from the Amu Darya has led to a significant drying of its delta, and soon the lake lost its agricultural value.
