Shandaksor (Kazakh: Шаңдақсор; Russian: Шандаксор) is a salt lake in the Ekibastuz City Administration, Pavlodar Region, Kazakhstan.[1]
Shandaksor is one of the main lakes in the area surrounding Ekibastuz and is part of the Irtysh Water Management Basin. It is located 24 kilometers (15 mi) to the north of the city. Solnechny village and the Ekibastuz GRES-2 Power Station lie by its northeastern shore. It was formed by filling an endorheic intermittent lake (sor) with water from the Irtysh–Karaganda Canal in order to cool the adjacent thermal power station. The ashes of the station are dumped into nearby lake Karasor.[2][3]
