Title
Literally, the name of the lake can be translated as bogatyr / cattle , but according to legend, the name of the lake is associated with Baatr-Malyagi (nephew of Solom-Tseren's noon) - the initiator of the creation of the Kalmyk Iki-, Dund- and Bagakhurulov. According to popular legend, the founder suburgan in memory of the founder was erected in the middle of the lake [3] .
Physico-geographical characteristics
Hydrography and climate
The hydrological regime of the lake is naturally anthropogenic. The lake is located in a zone of sharply continental , semi-desert climate. Under conditions of significant evaporation, the role of rainfall in the water regime of the lake is not great. Before the commissioning of the Sarpinsky irrigation and watering system, the main source of water supply for the reservoir was rainfall in the winter [4] .
Currently, the lake has undergone significant anthropogenic transformation. The territory is drained using drainage channels. Excess water is discharged into the Arshan-Zelmen River . On the topographic map of 1989 is indicated as the tract Batyr-Mala. The territory of the lake is used as a grassland [5] .
Pool
The catchment area is 769 km². The Tsaryn-Zelmen River (Kamennaya beam) flows into the lake, and the lake is also the final receiver of the waters of the beams of Kure-Sala and Harul [6]
