Kardzhali Reservoir, Reservoir in Kardzhali Province, Bulgaria.
The Kardzhali Reservoir extends across 16 square kilometers within the mountainous terrain, maintaining water levels at 331 meters above sea level.
The construction of Kardzhali Reservoir in 1977 marked a significant development in Bulgaria's water management system as part of the Arda Cascade project.
The reservoir area contains remnants of former settlements that now rest beneath the water, preserving stories of communities that once inhabited this region.
Local fishermen follow specific regulations while catching various fish species in the reservoir, which also supplies water for irrigation and hydroelectric power.
The reservoir's sediment patterns create distinct seasonal water color variations, resulting from the interaction between mineral deposits and water depth changes.
