Description
Lake Shalkar-Ega-Kara, located in the east of the Svetlinsky district of the Orenburg region, is the largest body of water in the region. It has the shape of an almost perfect circle, with a diameter of about 11 kilometers and a coastline of almost 96 kilometers. The area of the lake is slightly more than 9 thousand hectares, while its average depth rarely exceeds 50 cm, although the maximum can reach 90 cm, and during a flood it can increase to four meters. The absolute height of the lake is 299 meters.
The name "Shalkar-Ega-Kara" comes from Kazakh and means "Lake near a high hill." Currently, the lake is a hydrological natural monument and is protected by the state.
The lake is fed by water from the Buruktal River, but only during the spring flood. Because of this, it dries out once every 10 years and completely freezes once every 3 years. During dry periods, the reservoir dries up, forming several small lakes, and reeds begin to actively grow on its banks. The lake bottom is covered with clay and silt, and the water is mostly clear.
Lake Shalkar-Ega-Kara is popular with fishermen, as crucian carp can be found here, and during the flood, perch, carp, roach and other types of fish sometimes appear. The lake also attracts hunters, since during the autumn migration periods various species of wild ducks live here. In total, this territory is home to more than 150 species of birds, of which 27 are listed in the Red Book.
