We show that it is possible now to monitor, over decades, in near real time, with high precision, the water level changes in the Lake Balkhash from satellite altimetry, over the reservoir and also along the Ili River. The vulnerability of the lake fauna and flora populations is enhanced by the morphometry of the lake: shallow and separation of the eastern basin from the western basin through the narrow Uzun\u2010Aral strait. Water policy of the Ili River also plays a fundamental role in the evolution of the Balkhash Lake. The Ili River that provides 80% of the surface water of the lake is a transboundary river. Development of intense irrigated agriculture in the upstream part of this river, located in the Chinese territory, could lead in the future to high hydrological stress in the downstream regions with potentially high damage in the delta and for fishery production. We show here the recent evolution of the Lake Balkhash basin from satellite data. Some interannual oscillation of 6\u20138\u00a0years over the last decade has been highlighted, with a water level of the lake still at a high value, but prediction on increasing irrigation is also highlighting the vulnerability of this lake. Linkage between water level change along the river and the downstream waters is also investigated. It shows that the role of the reservoir is not fundamental in the understanding of the Lake Balkhash water level changes which is in contrast highly correlated to upstream river level changes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/lre.12263","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,17]],"date-time":"2019-05-17T07:59:49Z","timestamp":1558079989000},"page":"195-208","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Impacts of water level changes in the fauna, flora and physical properties over the Balkhash Lake watershed"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Kuanysh B.","family":"Isbekov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Kazakh Scientific Research Institute of Fishery Almaty Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vyacheslav N.","family":"Tsoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kazakh Scientific Research Institute of Fishery, Balkhash Branch Balkhash Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean\u2010Francois","family":"Cr\u00e9taux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Legos\/CNES Toulouse France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nikolai V.","family":"Aladin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Brackish Water Hydrobiology Zoological Institute of RAS St. Petersburg Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8181-9103","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Igor S.","family":"Plotnikov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Brackish Water Hydrobiology Zoological Institute of RAS St. Petersburg Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guillaume","family":"Clos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Legos\/CNES Toulouse France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muriel","family":"Berge\u2010Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Legos\/CNES Toulouse France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saule Zh.","family":"Assylbekova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kazakh Scientific Research Institute of Fishery Almaty Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","volume-title":"Ozero Balkhash [Lake Balkhash]","author":"Abrosov V.
