Beloyarskoye Vodokhranilishche, reservoir in Russia
Beloyarskoye Vodokhranilishche is a large reservoir in Dagestan that stores water for local use and power generation. The water body stretches across a broad area with an irregular basin shape, fed by nearby rivers and streams, while the surrounding landscape remains mostly flat and open.
The reservoir was built in the modern era as part of Russia's water storage network and has served as an important resource for many years. It connects to earlier plans for managing water and power resources in the region.
The site is remote, located about 16 kilometers from the town of Komsomolskiy, with few facilities or shops nearby. It is best to bring your own water and snacks, and to visit during daylight hours when the sun is visible.
The water surface appears mirror-like under good conditions, reflecting the sky with particular clarity on sunny days. The location is also known for birdwatching, as various waterfowl species inhabit the shores, especially during early morning and late afternoon hours.
