Artyomovka Reservoir, reservoir in Russia
Artyomovka Reservoir is a large water storage body in Primorsky Krai, Russia, covering a surface area of about eleven square kilometers and surrounded by forests and hills. The water reaches depths of nearly 28 meters at its deepest point and is fed by several rivers that flow into the basin.
The reservoir was built in the late 1960s to regulate the Artyomovka River and supply drinking water to the city of Vladivostok. Since its completion in the late 1970s, it has been essential to the water supply of the region.
The water is viewed by local people as a vital resource that shapes everyday life in the region. The quiet landscape around the reservoir is appreciated by those who visit to walk along the shore or appreciate the natural surroundings.
The reservoir is best visited in clear weather when the sky and clouds reflect on the water surface. Access is limited because the area is protected, so visitors should check conditions in advance before planning a visit to the shore.
A distinctive feature of this reservoir is its specialized water spillway system with channels and tunnels designed to safely release excess water during heavy rains. This intelligent engineering design has proven to be one of the most reliable systems of its kind since the dam was completed.
