The Maly Irgiz (Russian: Малый Ирги́з, lit.'Little Irgiz') is a river in Saratov Oblast, Russia, a left tributary of the Volga. It is 235 kilometres (146 mi) long, with a drainage basin of 3,900 square kilometres (1,500 sq mi).[1] The river is fed by snow. Above Seleznikha Maly Irgiz dries up systematically (up to 305 days per year without drainage). Between November and April the Maly Irgiz is frozen.[citation needed]
