Geography
editPavlodar borders Russia (Altai Krai, Omsk Oblast and Novosibirsk Oblast) to the north, and also borders the following Kazakh regions: Akmola (to the west), East Kazakhstan (to the south-east), North Kazakhstan (to the north-west), and Karaganda (to the south). The southern part of the district is in the Kazakh Uplands, while the northern part falls within the Baraba Plain and Kulunda Plain. The highest point of the region is Akbet, a 1,022 meters (3,353 ft) high summit located in the Bayanaul Range.[10]
The Irtysh River flows from the Altay Mountains in China to Russia through the region; the Irtysh–Karaganda Canal crosses the western part, taking some of the river's water to Ekibastuz and Karaganda. The Sileti river also flows through the region. There are many lakes in the region, most of them saline, such as Siletiteniz, Kyzylkak, Koryakovka, Zhasybai, Zhalauly, Shureksor, Kudaikol, Karasor, Zhamantuz, Kalkaman, Tuzdysor, Maraldy, Zharagash and Ulken Tobylzhan, among others.[10][11] Two of them are soda lakes: lake Borli and lake Uyaly.[12]
