Shalkarteniz
Shalkarteniz ( kk, Шалқартеңіз; russian: Шалкартениз) is an extensive salt flat and seasonal lake in the Yrgyz District, Aktobe Region, Kazakhstan. The Shalkarteniz lies in the northeastern sector of the Turan Depression, northwest of the city of Aralsk. It is part of the Kazakh semi-desert ecoregion. There are no settlements in the immediate vicinity. History Until the end of the 16th century, the Shalkarteniz basin was regularly filled by the formerly more abundant waters of the Turgay river, which at that time reached the Aral Sea. In the centuries that followed the river became shallow and carried less water, so the Shalkarteniz could not overflow. Thus the Turgay stopped flowing south and the depression lost its connection with the Aral Sea. By the 20th century, at the time of the Kazakh SSR, the degradation of the forest cover and extraction of water from the Turgay and Irgiz rivers increased. Finally by 1960 Shalkarteniz completely dried up and t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
