Borli
Borli () is an alkaline lake in Akkuly District, Pavlodar Region, Kazakhstan. The lake lies to the NNE of Akkuly, the district capital, and about southeast of Pavlodar, the regional capital. Geography Borly is part of the Irtysh basin. It lies in a tectonic depression of the Kulunda Plain, about to the SSE of lake Maraldy. Lake Seiten lies to the northeast, Kalatuz to the WNW, close to the Irtysh, Kazy to the SSE, Kyzyltuz to the southeast, and Bargana to the east. The shape of the lake is almost oval, oriented in a northwest - southeast direction. Its water is alkaline, with a pH of more than 9, only matched by lake Uyaly further south. The total salinity is less than . Lake Borly does not dry out in the summer and does not freeze in the winter.Google Earth Google Earth is a web mapping, web and computer program created by Google that renders a 3D computer graphics, 3D representation of Earth based primarily on satellite imagery.

Kulunda Plain
The Kulunda Steppe or Kulunda Plain (, , ''Qūlyndy dalasy'') is an alluvial plain in Russia and Kazakhstan. It is an important agricultural region in Western Siberia. Geography The steppe is located between the Ob and Irtysh rivers in the southern part of the West Siberian Plain, to the west of the Ob Plateau. Steppe landscapes predominate, especially in the north and east of the plain, which extends across the Altai Krai of Russia and the Pavlodar Oblast of Kazakhstan, with a small northern section in the Novosibirsk Oblast, as well as small southern part in the East Kazakhstan Oblast. The Baraba Steppe lies to the northwest. The border between both plains is not well defined. Conventionally, it is carried out at 54 degrees north latitude.

Kyzyltuz (Akkuly District)
Kyzyltuz (; ) is a salt lake in Akkuly District, Pavlodar Region, Kazakhstan. Location The lake is located to the west of Malybay village, about west of the Russia-Kazakhstan border. Akkuly, the district capital, lies to the southwest. Geography Kyzyltuz is part of the Irtysh basin. It lies in a tectonic depression of the Kulunda Plain. Lake Borli lies to the northwest, Kazy to the WNW, Zhaltyr and Malybay to the ESE, Sharbakty to the south, and Seiten to the NNW. The lake has a striking red color. This is in clear contrast with the other lakes in the area which display blue or green hues. The northern shore of Kyzyltuz is rocky.Google Earth Flora and fauna Lake Kyzyltuz is surrounded by steppe vegetation. Reeds grow in some stretches of the lakeshore.

Alkaline Lake
A soda lake or alkaline lake is a lake on the strongly basic side of neutrality, typically with a pH value between 9 and 12. They are characterized by high concentrations of carbonate salts, typically sodium carbonate (and related salt complexes), giving rise to their alkalinity. In addition, many soda lakes also contain high concentrations of sodium chloride and other dissolved salts, making them saline or hypersaline lakes as well. High pH and salinity often coincide, because of how soda lakes develop. The resulting hypersaline and highly alkalic soda lakes are considered some of the most extreme aquatic environments on Earth. In spite of their apparent inhospitability, soda lakes are often highly productive ecosystems, compared to their (pH-neutral) freshwater counterparts. Gross primary production (photosynthesis) rates above (grams of carbon per square meter per day), over 16 times the global average for lakes and streams (), have been measured. This makes them the most ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
