Geography
Kalibek lies in the southern part of the Ishim Plain, southwest of the Russian border.[5] It is an endorheic lake located in a depression between Shaglyteniz to the west and Kishi-Karoy to the east. Alabota lake lies 8 kilometers (5.0 mi) to the ESE.[6][4] Kalibek is fed mainly by snow and rain. The lake bottom is clayey and its shores are low and gently-sloping. Its surface greatly decreases after the spring floods.[7]
A number of intermittent small streams flow into the lakeshore, the two main ones from the southwest. Ushsay, a small, narrow lake located in the northeast, is connected to Kalibek by a channel. Formerly there was exploitation of salt for commercial purposes at the lake.[8]
