Geography

Zhalauly is an endorheic lake lying at the southern end of the Ishim Plain. It consists of a larger western lake and a smaller eastern one, connected at the northern end by a sound. There are small salt flats and salt marshes to the northeast.[7] The lakeshores are dissected and largely swampy. The lake freezes in early November and thaws in late April.[1][5]

During periods of drought the lake may completely dry up, but in rare years of exceptional snowfall, the waters of the Shiderti river (Karasu) may completely fill lake Shyganak to the south and the overflow may reach lake Zhalauli.[1]
