Qosshy

The main waterways in the city are the temporary Sarkyrama channel, which discharges overflow spring runoff from the Nura into the Esil;[4] and the Nura–Esil canal, which forms Qosshy's eastern border with Tselinograd District.[6][7] The village of Qosshy was founded on 23 April 1926, when seven families in the area joined the Koshchi [ru] peasant union and adapted its name as the name of their settlement.[8] The village's infrastructure was insufficient to handle the large increase in population, including a lack of paved roads, electricity, water outages, gas, garbage collection, schools, hospitals, and amenities.As Qosshy continues to grow rapidly, construction and related manufacturing activities form the backbone of the local economy.Astana's Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport is located adjacent to the northeast corner of Qosshy's city limits.
