Geography
The district is located in the Balkhash-Alakol Depression. Parts of its eastern border (where the district borders on East Kazakhstan Region) run through the chain of lakes - Lakes Sasykkol, Koshkarkol, Alakol, and Zhalanashkol. There are no major rivers in the district; the fairly small Tentek River, which flows toward Lake Sasykkol, but reaches it only intermittently, is the largest one.
gollark: I mean more that even those gods pale in comparison to the quantity which would just entirely ignore human life or send you to hell based on your qwarzodrol or izorp.
gollark: Yes. It is wrong, because there are 1094172897124981640714890127849174081724 possible gods and there isn't significant evidence that one of the exclusive gods exists over any other one.
gollark: I am an atheist inasmuch as while I don't *know*, in the absence of evidence it would be silly to go "well, I can't technically rule it out, so it's maybe true" instead of "probably not".
gollark: ↑ Observe, a very outdated GTech™ apiary.
