Ogosta Reservoir, Artificial reservoir in Montana region, Bulgaria.
The Ogosta Reservoir spans 2,360 hectares and collects water from three rivers: Ogosta, Burzia, and Zlatitsa, forming Bulgaria's second largest artificial lake.
The construction of Ogosta Reservoir required twenty years to complete, leading to the submersion of Jivovtsi and Kalimanitsa villages, with residents relocating to Berkovitsa and Montana.
The reservoir's name originates from the Ogosta River, which according to historical records may derive from the Latin term Augusta.
Two power stations, Kosharnik and Ogosta, operate downstream of the dam, generating hydroelectric energy while supporting commercial fishing activities since 1999.
The reservoir maintains a water level 60 meters above Montana city and contains a volume of 384 million cubic meters within its catchment area.
