Bargana (Kazakh : Барғана; Russian : Баргана) is a salt lake in Akkuly District, Pavlodar Region, Kazakhstan. [1]

Contents

Bargana lake is located 19 kilometers (12 mi) west of the Russia-Kazakhstan border, 3.5 kilometers (2.2 mi) to the southwest of Shoktal village and 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) east of Maykaragay. Akkuly, the district capital, lies roughly 83 kilometers (52 mi) to the southwest. [2] [3]

Geography

Bargana is part of the Irtysh basin. It lies in a tectonic depression of the Kulunda Plain. Lake Malybay 36 kilometers (22 mi) is located to the southwest and red lake Kyzyltuz 3.5 kilometers (2.2 mi) further to the west. Seiten lies 55 kilometers (34 mi) to the WNW, Borli 62 kilometers (39 mi) to the west, and Sormoildy 32 kilometers (20 mi) to the SSE. Lake Gornostalevo lies 23 kilometers (14 mi) to the northeast and Malinovoye 49 kilometers (30 mi) to the east, both on the other side of the border. The Irtysh river flows 82 kilometers (51 mi) to the southwest. [2]

The lake has an elongated, irregular shape, stretching roughly from southeast to northwest for about 5 kilometers (3.1 mi). The eastern and northern coastlines are rocky. The remaining lakeshore sections are flat and swampy, fringed by salt marshes. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Flora and fauna

Lake Bargana is surrounded by steppe vegetation. Its waters are used for watering local livestock until autumn, when the salinity increases and they become unsuitable for the purpose. [4]
