Geography
editKhorosheye lies in the Kulunda Plain, part of the West Siberian Plain. It has an irregular shape roughly oriented from north to south. The lakeshore is flat with some large bays in the northwest and the south. The Burla river flows through the lake and there is a small dam at the outflow. The water of Khorosheye is fresh and its bottom is sandy.[3][4][5]
Lake Peschanoye, also part of the Burla river basin, lies to the south and is connected with it by a channel. Lake Bolshoye Topolnoye lies 35 kilometers (22 mi) to the southwest, close to the Kazakhstan–Russia border.[2]
Flora and fauna
editThere are reeds by the lakeshore. Mostly cultivated fields surround the lake, as well as some areas of steppe vegetation with bushes. The fish species in the lake include chebak, sander, ide, bream, pike, crucian carp, Eurasian carp, perch and common bleak, among others. Peled and crayfish were released in the lake years ago.[5]
