Kuybyshev Reservoir, Artificial lake in Volga-Kama region, Russia.
The Kuybyshev Reservoir extends across five regions of Russia, covering 6,450 square kilometers with depths reaching 41 meters at its deepest points.
The construction of the Zhiguli Hydroelectric Station dam between 1955 and 1957 required the relocation of multiple settlements to higher ground.
The reservoir connects major Russian cities including Kazan, Ulyanovsk, and Tolyatti, each representing different aspects of regional development and traditions.
The water body generates hydroelectric power while regulating water flow in the Volga River system through a network of controlled releases.
The submerged riverbed of the Volga runs near the right bank, which rises 300 meters above the water surface, creating distinct depth variations.
