Sayano-Shushenskoe Reservoir, Artificial reservoir in central Siberia, Russia.

The Sayano-Shushenskoe Reservoir spans across three Russian regions with a water capacity of 31 billion cubic meters along the Yenisei River system.

The reservoir emerged through the construction of the Sayano-Shushenskaya Dam between the late 1960s and 1985, marking a significant infrastructure project in Soviet Russia.

The reservoir supports local fishing traditions and water-based activities, connecting communities across Krasnoyarsk Krai, Tuva, and Khakassia regions.

The reservoir functions as a primary source of hydroelectric power generation while maintaining flood control measures for settlements along the Yenisei River.

The reservoir shares borders with the Sayano-Shushenski Nature Reserve, which protects populations of snow leopards and Siberian ibex in their natural habitat.
