Tsalka Reservoir, Artificial reservoir in Kvemo Kartli, Georgia.
The Tsalka Reservoir stretches across the Khrami River gorge with steep banks and reaches a maximum depth of 25 meters.
The construction of this concrete dam project in 1946 resulted in submerging a 10th-11th century settlement beneath its waters.
Local fishing communities maintain traditional practices, catching species like common carp, European eel, and the protected brown trout.
The reservoir experiences seasonal ice coverage from December through March, with water temperatures ranging from 0.2°C in winter to 18.7°C in summer.
The water level variations periodically reveal archaeological remains of the medieval settlement that once existed in this mountain valley.
