The Manasi River (simplified Chinese: 玛纳斯河; traditional Chinese: 瑪納斯河; pinyin: Mǎnàsī hé, Uyghur: ماناس دەرياسى also called Manas) is in the south of Dzungarian Basin, Xinjiang, China.
Historically, the Manas River crossed a large section of the Gurbantünggüt Desert, terminating in Lake Manas (45°48′00″N 85°56′00″E / 45.80000°N 85.93333°E / 45.80000; 85.93333); its length then was about 450 km (280 mi) long.
[1][2] Numerous reservoirs are constructed on the Manas River and connected streams in the Shihezi City-Manas County area, including the Jiahezi Reservoir (夹河子水库; Jiāhézi shuǐkù) with the dam at 44°27′00″N 86°7′15″E / 44.45000°N 86.12083°E / 44.45000; 86.12083.
The reservoirs and canals form an extensive irrigation system in the area.
