Argazi Reservoir, Protected water reservoir in Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia.
The Argazi Reservoir extends over 102 square kilometers with an average depth of 6.5 meters, storing 0.65 cubic kilometers of water from the Miass River.
The construction of Argazi Reservoir started in 1927, with major works completed in 1938, and the final filling process concluded in 1946 after World War II.
The name Argazi originates from the Bashkirs, the indigenous people of the region, who created traditional songs about the former natural lake.
The reservoir supplies drinking water to the Chelyabinsk Oblast region while supporting energy production through its hydroelectric complex, which gained strategic facility status in 2009.
A drainage channel constructed in 2020 diverts clean water from the Sak-Elga River around contaminated areas of Karabash before entering the reservoir system.
