Physico-geographical characteristics
Origin
Like other lakes in the water system of the Sarpinsko-Davanskaya hollow , the lake is of relic origin. The formation of the lake is associated with the Lower Khvalyn transgression of the Caspian Sea . The lake is a relic of an ancient delta that formed over 7-8 thousand years on the site of a deep estuary at the end of the Late Pleistocene [6] .
Hydrology 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 [6] . Since the late 1970s, excess water has been discharged into the lake from the overlying lakes of the water system of the Sarpinsko-Davanskaya hollow .
