Name[edit]

A) see Talk:Dabusun Lake. — LlywelynII 14:51, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

B) Warren's blog has an entry calling this lake "Daxi" ("Big Western Lake"?) and misidentifying it as perennial. Here, the Chinese just call it 新湖 ("New Lake"). Not sure if either is trustworthy enough on this to bother including their names in the Wikidata and name section. — LlywelynII 16:35, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Size[edit]

Well, the stub at the Chinese Wiki says that the size is 112 sq km. That seems a bit much (aside from the flux meaning the proper size would be 0–112 sq km) unless the machine-mangled English in this paper means that they've already diverted the Urtom River from Senie to West Dabusun for commercial reasons.

I'd like to see a better source and explanation before adding it to the page, even though next to nothing has been written about the minor lakes in Qarhan aside from their chemical compositions. — LlywelynII 15:00, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
