Description of quality, reputation and (or) other characteristics of the goods 

In the south-eastern part of Kazakhstan, the Balkhash-Alakol lowland, which is located on the border of Abay and Zhetysu regions, is the most famous attraction - Lake Alakol. It is located at an altitude of 343 meters above sea level. This area is considered an ecologically favorable region, as there are no industrial enterprises around the lake within a radius of 600 km, thus preserving a unique clean natural complex. The length of the reservoir is 104 km, maximum width 52 km, average depth 22 m, but in some places it reaches 54 meters. The waters of the lake amaze with the variability of color. Depending on weather conditions, it varies from azure-blue to purple-purple.

The Kazakh name "alakol" means - bright multicolored, variegated, which conveys the unique coloring of the lake water. The lake is of relict origin, once there was a sea here. It retreated as a result of a shift in the Earth's crust, leaving a system of lakes. The unique properties of the lake water are provided by underground and artesian waters originating in the mountains.

Lake Alakol is a drainless lake, but 5 large turbulent rivers flow into it, which originate in mountain glaciers. In the north-eastern part of the lake there are salty springs, and in the southern part there are fresh springs. As a result, Alakol acquires a unique combination of salty and fresh water. There are about 20 species of fish in Lake Alakol. Among them the most common are: carp, bream, pikeperch, pikeperch, crucian carp and perch.
