The Boro-Tala ( Russian Боро-Тала ; Chinese 博尔塔拉 河 , Pinyin Bóěr Tǎlā Hé ) is a river in the Mongolian Autonomous District Bortala of the People's Republic of China in the far west of Djungary .
The Boro-Tala arises at the confluence of its two source rivers Demekpe and Koksu at an altitude of 2567 m . It flows in an easterly direction through a valley that runs between the Djungarian Alatau in the north and the Borochoro and its foothills in the south. The cities of Bogdar and Bortala lie on the river . Eventually the river reaches the lowland of Lake Ebinur . It flows in an arc first to the southeast and then to the northeast before reaching the southwestern shore of Lake Ebinur. The Boro-Tala has a length of 250 km. The lower reaches often fall dry. There the course of the river is very meandering and reaches a width of 100 to 150 m. The river has long-lasting spring floods . In summer, heavy precipitation events can lead to severe flooding. At the lower reaches of the Boro-Tala, water is diverted for irrigation and drinking water supply .
