'''Alakol District''' ({{lang-kk|Алакөл ауданы}}) is a [[Districts of Kazakhstan|district]] of [[Almaty Region]] in [[Kazakhstan]]. The administrative center of the district is the town of [[Usharal]].<ref>[http://www.geonames.de/coukz-sub.html www.geonames.de Subdivisions of Kazakhstan in local languages]</ref> Population: {{Kz-population2013|70,427|punct=;}} {{Kz-census2009|69,398|punct=;}} {{Kz-census1999|79,773|punct=.}} 

The [[Tunkuruz Hydroelectric Power Plant]] is located in the district. 

==Geography==
The district is located in the Ballkhash-Alakol Depression. Parts of its eastern border (where the district borders on [[East Kazakhstan Region]]) run through the chain of lakes - Lakes [[Lake Sasykkol|Sasykkol]], [[Lake Koshkarkol|Koshkarkol]], [[Lake Alakol|Alakol]], and [[Lake Zhalanashkol|Zhalanashkol]]. There are no major rivers in the district; the fairly small [[Tentek River]], which flows toward Lake Sasykkol, but reaches it only intermittently, is the largest one.
