Kyiv Reservoir, Water reservoir in Chernihiv Raion, Ukraine

The Kyiv Reservoir extends 110 kilometers along the Dnieper River, covering 922 square kilometers with depths ranging from four to eight meters.

The construction of the reservoir occurred between 1960 and 1966, following the establishment of the Kyiv Hydroelectric Station dam at Vyshhorod.

Fishing and boating activities throughout the reservoir connect local communities while supporting regional agricultural irrigation and water supply systems.

The reservoir maintains a surface level of 99 meters above sea level and contains 3.7 cubic kilometers of water for hydroelectric power generation.

The bottom sediments contain radionuclides from the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, requiring continuous environmental monitoring and management protocols.
