Bratsk Reservoir, Artificial lake in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia.
The Bratsk Reservoir extends across 5,470 square kilometers on the Angara River, reaching depths of 150 meters in certain sections.
The construction of the Bratsk Dam and reservoir, completed in 1967, required the relocation of numerous settlements and transformed the regional landscape.
The formation of the reservoir influenced regional literature, including Valentin Rasputin's works about displaced communities and environmental changes.
The reservoir supports commercial fishing operations with 10 different fish species and provides water resources for industrial and municipal needs.
The water body holds 169 cubic kilometers, establishing it as the second-largest reservoir by volume on Earth after Lake Kariba.
