Pchelina Reservoir, Artificial reservoir in Pernik Province, Bulgaria.
The Pchelina Reservoir stretches across 5.38 square kilometers with a shoreline of 34 kilometers and receives water from Struma and Svetlya rivers.
The construction of Pchelina Reservoir in 1975 required the submersion of Pchelintsi village, which previously occupied the area beneath current water level.
The medieval church of Saint John the Summer stands on a rock formation above the water, marking centuries of religious presence in this region.
The reservoir functions as a water supply source for Pernik Municipality while maintaining a depth of 19 meters and storing 54.8 million cubic meters.
The sediment analysis of Pchelina Reservoir provides data about environmental changes, including measurements of contamination from the 1986 Chernobyl incident.
