Course The Bagan river system is an endorheic basin between the Ob and the Irtysh rivers. The sources are in a swamp at the western edge of the Ob Plateau. The river flows in a roughly WSW direction all along its course. It is fed mainly by snow. As it progresses along the Baraba Plain it flows across many lakes of different sizes, such as Inder lake. Finally it ends up in Lake Ivanovskoye.
In the river basin there are numerous swamps and lakes, both freshwater and brackish, such as Mochan. The Bagan tends to dry up seasonally in its lower reaches.Баган; Great Soviet Encyclopedia in 30 vols. — Ch. ed. A.M. Prokhorov. - 3rd ed. - M. Soviet Encyclopedia, 1969-1978.
