Bartogai Lake (Kazakh: Бартоғай бөгені, Bartoǵaı begeni) is a reservoir in the Almaty Region of Kazakhstan.[1] As it is far away from any pollution sources, it has remained relatively pristine.[2] It was built in the early 1980s on the Chilik River at the base of the Sogety Plateau (Syugaty Hills) as part of an irrigation project.
