The water surface area is 168.6 acres. The water volume of the lake is 590 thousand m3 and the maximum depth is 27.5 metres. In the recent past the lake was called Chifte Göl. The name "Bliznaka" comes from the fact that in times of drought the lake splits into two small ponds. From this it takes the shape of an hourglass.
