Historically, Tizinafu River was once a tributary of the Yarkand River, and has gradually evolved into an independent river under the influence of water diversion from the plain irrigation area. [13] The river has a total length of 335 kilometers, [14] a catchment area of about 20,390 square kilometers, and an average annual runoff of about 845 million cubic meters.
