Lake Manych-Gudilo
Template:Short description Template:Infobox lake
Lake Manych-Gudilo (Template:Langx) is a large saltwater reservoir lake in Kalmykia, Russia. Part of the lake lies also in Rostov Oblast and Stavropol Krai. It has an area of about 344 km2 and average depth of only about 0.6 m.[1]
Lake Manych-Gudilo is the source of the West Manych River, which flows north-west, through a number of reservoirs, falling into the lower Don a short distance upstream from Rostov-on-Don and the Don's fall into the Sea of Azov.[2]
Temperatures in the region through the year can range from Script error: No such module "convert". in winter to Script error: No such module "convert". in summer. The area is also home to many species of birds and is the site of the Chernye Zemli Biosphere Reserve.[3][4][5]
A global sea level rise of roughly Script error: No such module "convert". would cause the ocean surface to be higher than the highest point of an area between the ocean and the Caspian, forming a narrow channel straddling the lake in the area between the Sea of Azov and the Caspian Sea, potentially placing the Caspian Depression area underwater.[6][7]
