Geography
Buralkynyn Tuzy is a sor-type of lake in the Chu basin. It is located to the west of 330 m high Mount Andagul in an arid zone at the southern edge of the Betpak-Dala, north of the lower Chu valley. The Chu river flows westwards 8.3 km to the south of the lake. The western part of the lake basin is flat and the eastern is steep.

The lake fills during the spring thaw and usually dries up completely in the summer. If it has water at the end of the fall, it does not freeze in the winter owing to its high salinity.
