Zharagash (Kazakh: Жарағаш Russian: Жарагаш) is a salt lake in Zhelezin District, Pavlodar Region, Kazakhstan.
[3][2][1] The shores of the lake are flat, with two big indentations on the western side and a long projection in the east.
The water is salty and its salinity increases in the summer, when it often dries up, becoming a salt marsh.
[4] The environment of Zharagash is too strongly saline to support any fauna in its waters.
Reeds and grasses grow in some stretches of the salt marshes surrounding the lake.
