Tsimlyansk Reservoir, Artificial lake at Don River, Russia.

The Tsimlyansk Reservoir extends 257 kilometers across Rostov and Volgograd Oblasts, creating a substantial water surface between these two regions.

The construction of the reservoir in 1952 required the relocation of Tsimlyansk town and submerged the ancient Khazar fortress of Sarkel beneath its waters.

The reservoir supports local fishing traditions and influences the agricultural practices of communities along the Don River basin.

The waterway maintains a navigation depth of 3.6 meters and operates from April to November, connecting the Volga River with the Sea of Azov.

Two sequential locks, numbered 14 and 15, allow vessels to navigate between different water levels while traveling through the Tsimlyansk Dam system.
