Kryukov Reservoir, reservoir in Russia
Kryukov Reservoir is a large body of water in the Krasnodar region with a rounded shape and gentle shoreline curves. The water covers a broad area and is relatively shallow, with a small bay on the southeastern side where boats and waterfowl gather.
The reservoir was built starting in the 1940s to control water flow and supply irrigation for rice fields in the region. Over the decades, the surrounding landscape changed significantly as local authorities focused on agricultural development.
The area offers simple facilities like small docks and boat tie-ups for fishing and relaxing. Water levels rise and fall with the seasons, allowing visitors to adjust their activities, including possible ice activities during colder months.
The water flows into several nearby rivers like the Peschanka and plays an important role in regional water management. Layers of sediment have accumulated on the bottom, marking the long history of water storage here.
