where is lake balkhash located on a map
Lake Balkhash Lake Balkhash (Kazakh: Балқаш көлі, Kazakh pronunciation: [bɑɫqɑʃ kyʉlɘ]; Russian: Озеро Балхаш, Ozero Balhaš) is one of the largest lakes in Asia and 15th largest in the world. It is located in Central Asia in southeastern Kazakhstan and belongs to an endorheic (closed) basin shared by Kazakhstan and China, with a small portion in Kyrgyzstan. The basin drains into the lake via seven rivers, the primary of which is the Ili River, bringing the majority of the riparian inflow; others, such as the Karatal, provide both surface and subsurface flow. The Ili is fed by precipitation, largely vernal snowmelt, from the mountains of China's Xinjiang region.
Lake District The Lake District is located entirely within the county of Cumbria. All the land in England higher than 3,000 feet (914Â m) above sea level lies within the National Park, including Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England.[4] It also contains the deepest and longest bodies of water in England, Wast Water and Windermere.[citation needed]
