Pavlovka Reservoir

The Pavlovka Reservoir spans 116 square kilometers across the Ufa River, containing 1.41 cubic kilometers of water behind concrete and earthen dams.

The construction of Pavlovka Reservoir began in 1950 as part of Soviet water management projects and reached completion in 1961 with its hydroelectric station.

The reservoir forms an integral part of Bashkortostan's landscape, where local residents engage in traditional fishing practices throughout different seasons.

Four Kaplan turbines generate an average of 590 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually, providing power to numerous communities in the Bashkortostan region.

The reservoir includes a single-chamber navigation lock and features a concrete spillway dam reaching 41.3 meters in height alongside an alluvial river bed dam.
