Kalibek
Taiynsha town, the administrative center of the district, lies 45 kilometers (28 mi) to the west of the lake.
Geography
Kalibek lies in the southern part of the Ishim Plain, southwest of the Russian border. 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. 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.
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.
