Čyžoŭskaje Reservoir, reservoir in Belarus

The Čyžoŭskaje Reservoir is a reservoir on the Svislach River, part of the Viliya-Minsk water system, flowing through the Chizhovka and Serebryanka residential districts of Minsk. It was created in 1951 and supplies technical water to Minsk TPP-3 and sixteen city enterprises. Near its banks stand an Orthodox church of the Icon of the Mother of God, a church under construction in honor of St. George the Victorious, and the parks named for Minsk's 900th anniversary and for Grekova. The Minsk Zoo lies on the other side of the dam.

The reservoir was created in 1951 on the Svislach River as part of the Vileyka-Minsk water system. It supplies technical water to Minsk's CHPP-3 and sixteen city enterprises. Deviations from its designed operating regime and unregulated discharges of insufficiently treated wastewater lowered water exchange and raised pollutant concentrations. A 2010 cleanup cost 6 billion rubles, with the total projected to reach 100 billion, and a small hydroelectric station with two units of 260–300 kW was commissioned that year.

The reservoir lies on the Svislach River within the Vileyka-Minsk water system, flowing through the Chizhovka and Serebryanka residential districts. Its name comes from Chizhovka. Beside it stand an Orthodox church of the Icon of the Mother of God, a church under construction dedicated to St George the Victorious, and the parks named for Minsk's 900th anniversary and for Grekova.

The reservoir sits in the southeastern part of Minsk and is easy to reach by public transport. The paths along the banks are flat and wide, making them straightforward to walk or cycle along at any time of year.

In the shallower sections near the banks, the bottom of the reservoir is visible through the water, which gives those spots an unusually open and clear quality. The way the water reflects the sky changes completely depending on the season and the angle of the light.
