Kushmurun (Kazakh: Құсмұрын; Russian: Кушмурун) is a brackish lake in the Kostanay Region, Kazakhstan.[1]
Kushmurun is one of largest natural waterbodies of Kazakhstan. It lies in the northern sector of the Turgay Basin, at the border between Auliekol and Karasu districts, 9 kilometers (5.6 mi) north of the village of Kushmurun. The western side of the catchment area of the lake has been converted to agricultural land, affecting biodiversity.[2][3]
