Koksala

Koksala is a river of the northern Balkhash country and a tributary of the Bakanas. It runs through the open upland steppe, where watercourses flow unevenly across a dry basin. The Bakanas drains towards the Ayaguz but reaches it only in unusually wet years. Beyond these river valleys lies Lake Balkhash, the great inland lake at the southern edge of the steppe.
