Geography
The Argut is 232 kilometres (144 mi) long (including Akalakha), and has a drainage basin of 9,550 square kilometres (3,690 sq mi).[1] Due to the abundance of glaciers 40% of the runoff is yielded glaciers and permanent snow (in particular, from the northern slope of the Tavan Bogd massif), 34% - seasonal snow 17% - rain, 9% - by groundwater. The river is frozen from November until April.
gollark: They might BOTH be wrong.
gollark: Strange.
gollark: They do have the problem that they can't really not run constantly or output drops lots.
gollark: If you assume 100% efficiency (with active cooling it *will* go up to reach that if the reactor runs constantly) then it should be easier.
gollark: Maximum power output?
